Ah yes, the mystical "legal basis" meaning that a nation state can use violence and kidnapping to enforce ownership in whatever way it sees fit instead of having palpable, trustless, mathematical proof of ownership.
- maxerickson 5y agoThere is no such thing as mathematical proof of ownership, because proof of ownership isn't something that exists in the abstract. You can have a claim of ownership that has some mathematical properties of course.
- lostmsu 5y agoOh, but there's. One can make a chip, that would only work when provided with a proof of ownership from some blockchain.
- maxerickson 5y agoThat's a physical thing not a mathematical proof.
- lostmsu 5y agoThe proof is mathematical, the physical thing is a validator.
- JohnFen 5y agoProof of ownership is meaningless without some mechanism to enforce said ownership. If I take something of yours and you can prove it's yours, so what? Without some means of enforcement, your proof has no actual effect.
- pennaMan 5y agoYou are correct. I suggest you look up the paper Stasohi Nakamoto published about a proposed solution for a mechanism of enforcement :)
