well, the way i understand it is that the NFT signature would prevent that. granted, i've only recently been looking at NFT and general blockchain custody stuff at work - so i might be missing some key parts on how it all works.
edit: unless you meant the forgery was the first to NFT - which is why i mentioned that i only see it as viable for newly created works that have not already been sold.
- crooked-v 5y agoYou can bake a digital signature into an NFT, but that's not going to help you verify a physical painting.
- jozzy-james 5y agohow so? again, i'm pretty new into researching this for physical works - but i would assume with the provenance/etc that goes into cataloging a piece, it should be...well, at least better than what we currently have.
- crooked-v 5y agoHow are you going to map a digital signature to in-depth verification of a physical painting? There are basically no possibilities here that aren't full of holes, because the real world doesn't come in discrete byte values.
- jozzy-james 5y agoi see them as a chain of custody that accentuates an already broken system of 'in-depth verification' as you put it. but again, i'm only recently looking into the validity of using such a thing. more accountability should be good, overall.
- mannerheim 5y agoYou still have to trust that nobody in the chain of custody has swapped out the physical work with a forgery.
- jozzy-james 5y agosure, but it's an extra layer over what is currently in place.
- mannerheim 5y agoThe NFT itself can't be forged, but surely the artwork itself can be forged? How would the NFT identify the forgery from the original if the current owner is saying the forgery is the real one?
- jozzy-james 5y agodon't have the answers on that one, but i would imagine it would come with a shift in how stuff is currently done.
- cyberge99 5y agoAn NFT can contain a secret that the buyer can unlock. Presumably a pgp key or similar token. True owner transfers it to a seller upon sale. This could establish and verify provenance.
- mannerheim 5y agoHow does the key or token distinguish the original from the forgery?
- detaro 5y agoAre you talking about digital files or actual physical art?
