I've already right clicked your UUID: 6f50fde3-a7f0-433b-a9b1-8ef6d665905b
Without a blockchain to formally prove that you own it, can anybody even own anything at all?
- xdennis 5y agoI hereby formally claim 6f50fde3-a7f0-433b-a9b1-8ef6d665905b. This HN comment will probably last longer than a random blockchain.
- 1_player 5y agoI agree, @xdennis owns it. It doesn't matter what's written on the blockchain, it's the majority (50%+1) that decides who owns what.
- moron4hire 5y agoThe Blockchain only proves the first derivative of ownership. It can't prove the user owned the object before putting it on the Blockchain.
- dtech 5y agoYes, in the same ways society has done for thousands of years.
- CPLX 5y agoBut it’s here on HN and now there’s a very clear and practical way for this user to prove he originated this UUID before anyone else who tries to claim it. What do we suppose that’s worth in dollars?
- jtbayly 5y agoHe probably right-clicked it from somewhere else.
- can16358p 5y agoIt's "a great copy of Mona Lisa", instead of parent comment's real Mona Lisa. Sure they look the same, maybe exactly the same, maybe binary-level same, but that's not what really matters. What matters is the social contract, minting and/or owning the original. If a celebrity generates a random GUID and puts on blockchain as an NFT, I'm pretty much sure that it will sell. A random GUID is worthless. A random original of a GUID generated by, say Elon Musk, is.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThe bits are colored all different!
- pjc50 5y agoGood point. He needs to own 44a81fec08e4290afb90b780e5d94e15980b08050a402374b3a7a6e59c83a736 (the SHA256) as well.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoEven with blockchain data can be trivially copied. Ownership of data is an illusion.
- atoav 5y agoMy post on HN proves that I own it, but I am willing to sell you a share.
