This actually sounds like a fairly good use-case. Enforced attribution (credits?) in the blockchain. But again, what’s stopping a malicious entity from making slight modifications to the source material and publishing it as their own?
- bruce511 5y agoNothing, except the timestamp would indicate which was first. (I don't know, but I'm guessing, an NFT has a timestamp?)
- adrianwaj 5y agoThey can publish it as their own, but will anyone see it if the creator send fans to collect their works from any and all sources of their own choosing? (eg a torrent file) I'm trying to work out if it'll work for code as well.. what if you write a program and can then tally up whose code you used to help make it.. at that point you could donate (or pay) if you wanted to. An honesty system. Even users could pay and see where their funds will wind up.
- obviyus 5y agoFair enough. Something that attributes code back to the creator would be fantastic for OSS. I dread to imagine code tallies being used to gauge candidates
- adrianwaj 5y agoYep. It could be gamed as well, creators donating/paying themselves to boost their own rankings. Like authors buying their own books to get on bestseller lists. Another interesting use case for NFTs is tickets, if you issue tickets for an event at $10 and they end up at $100, at least the issuer can collect a bonus on every subsequent sale... isn't that how OpenSea works? So a ticket could be auctioned first, and then more is made by the issuer on post-auction sales. It's also very public, so the performer has better information about their worth in the market. So yeah, digital goods and tickets... that's where it's at for me.
