Twitter is building exactly that apparently, you would get an ethereum checkmark next to your profile pic if that image is verified.
There is definitely discussion happening on exactly your point, but i imagine there are options to combat the fake NFTs given that you can't fake a signature from a known public key.
Given that there are so many NFT projects I speculate that the twitter verification will only happen for a small subset though.
- larsiusprime 5y agoSo we’re trusting a centralized service, cool.
- mathdroid 5y agoI mean everyone can verify the ownership too since it's on the public blockchain?
- meheleventyone 5y agoRight but who verifies that the particular NFT is the original one that has all the feel good magic and not a copy someone else minted?
- Igelau 5y agoIt's almost like Twitter is doing a great public service by building exactly what's needed to show that this is, in fact, bullshit.
- meheleventyone 5y agoSimilarly all the crypto metaverse projects although they're not as mainstream suffer this problem. There's a reason Will Wright's new "NFT" game runs its own chain.
- mathdroid 5y agoYou can see which collection an NFT belongs to, their contract addresses, and transaction history. This is a non-problem. I'm sure it will be visible in Twitter's implementation too
- meheleventyone 5y agoNot just that but anyone can mint a copy of the picture the NFT points to and have their own verified version.
