Am I missing something, or does this scheme only authenticate the certificates, but not the work itself?

- nickthemagicman 8y agoHaha you're right. A copy of the certificate would allow many of that same work to be forged.
- dfcowell 8y agoThe transfer of ownership request is the key here. That doesn’t scale, considering that the current owner needs to authenticate the request. Sure, you could pull the gig once, but your authentic work immediately depreciates in value by 100% because it can’t be authenticated any more. That’s the brilliance of the system. The forged work becomes the “authentic” work in all meaningful terms because the value is attached to the delegated ownership, not to the physical item itself.
