it still doesn't solve anything. You have no way of knowing if the pixels were originally signed by the real artist or not.
The only reason it works right now is because that NFTs are so recent that you can just send a DM to artist's twitter to verify if the original set of crypto keys/wallet belong to them. When the artist himself is promoting it, it's not hard to figure out if it's genuine or not. But what happens in 10 years or if you can't trace the original artist?
How would you know if I took the picture myself or if I stole it from flicker? if reverse image search doesn't work, it would be impossible.
- magicalhippo 5y agoThat's no different from a real picture/painting though is it? Regardless, if you get the current verifiable statements signed by a trusted entity every now and then, you should be able to verify the trust chain, no? Before the old keys expires you get someone to verify and sign with a new key, rinse repeat?
- max47 5y agowhat you are describing just proves that the blockchain adds absolutely no value to the art. You still have to rely on a piece of paper on which someone pinky swears they are the original owner. The blockchain doesn't make it more secure in any shape or form and you would have absolutely no way of knowing the picture I'm selling as an NFT was taken/created by me or stolen from reddit.
