What is the actual content of the collectible? An image I guess? Where is it stored?

If collectibles are to become more than memcoins, the actual content is important. 

- What is stored? An image? The actual castAdd message? 
- Where is the content stored? Is it stored in a way that I can feel it will be there in a year, or will it be like many NFTs I bought 3 years ago and are now broken jpegs?

I work at the posts office

@horsefacts.eth @v can you shed some light?

- image
- image is stored in the cloud and will be up for as long as farcaster is
- metadata is upgradeable and we can choose to change the metadata in the future if we want to ossify it further

i expressed similar! hopefully doable in the future if enough demand

There are casts I would like to collect, for my own personal reasons (not meme- or trade-oriented).

The current setup has a discounted value for me, because I treat it as very ephemeral and ephemeral is not compatible with collectible in my mind.

I would get significantly more value (and the NFT would be more valuable to me), if:
- data were stored on IPFS (so I can pin them if I like, regardless of what Merkle does)
- data included the image and castAdd

My 2c

nft metadata is stored on merkle's servers

Good questions. My guess is any images will be stored on IPFS so the links don’t break. As far as the other parts, I don’t know.
