The artist could publish a git repo with all the signatures? We already solved this problem with Cert Transparency in PKI.
None of this needs a energy-hungry blockchain.
- renewiltord 5y agoAh but I can’t transfer it without the artist having to be involved. And so, in practice, I can’t transfer it because that adds too much trouble for them.
- captn3m0 5y agoYou could sign it forward. Slightly harder to validate, but maybe if the original PDF included your key - that should maintain a clear chain of custody on the PDF itself.
- renewiltord 5y agoOh for sure. And the existence of the signed on copy with a timestamp can invalidate later signed copies, etc. This is just a mechanism that provides that in a general way. It’s sort of like, how, before Uber you could call up the few cabbies you had who you liked and get a ride but having Uber was a game changer anyway because the friction fell below some threshold.
