Q: What is Cinder?

A: "Cinder is a digital dreamworld made possible by blockchain technology. It’s a crypto-native social hub, creative commons, and free-form MMO community that’s evolving rapidly and empowering players in new ways."

According to a Google Doc going over Cinder-

"Cinder is an upcoming “play-to-earn” MMO being developed by WW. It will run on the Solana blockchain, enabling people to create, buy, and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the ingame marketplace. More information on the game (including a roadmap!) can be found on their official site."

Q: Why is Cinder a bad thing?

A: Cinder is a game based on blockchain technology. Many things, like cryptocurrency, that use this technology are widely known to have a severely harmful environmental impact.

Cinder states that they'll be using the Solana blockchain. Although Solana says they're carbon neutral, many doubt the legitimacy of these claims.

Q: What is an 'NFT'?

A: NFT stands for 'Non Fungible Token'.

A quick explanation from this Verge article:

“Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same thing. A one-of-a-kind trading card, however, is non-fungible.

Q: What is a 'blockchain'?

A: According to euromoney.com, "Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system."
