i thought we were talking about the opposite situation, archival.
so in this situation we’re not actually talking about using a block chain, as in a progressive hashing function, but the blockchain, as in a massive network of computers used to verify anything.
You might have more technical knowledge about this than i do. I never considered a blockchain versus the blockchain. But your brief explanation does make sense.
But yes, the potential i saw in it is in a decentralised network of verification that no one party can control.
i thought you were talking about independent verification of each frame of a video and storing it in a block chain to accompany that file, so that’s my bad on missing the point.
but with using “the” blockchain, we’re still dealing with the problem of massive emissions to keep it running, except now there’s no profit motive. or rather, that’s already true for a lot of things so it would need some sort of verification token to incentivise actually including our video hashes in the calculation. i think the ethereum people call it “gas money”. so it would be pay-to-verify.
an alternative is to have a foundation like the internet archive host the verified hashes. way less energy use, and they need the money more anyway.
Exactly my point why i think they would be a part of it.
Too often information about original media and potential hashes get lost. A decentralised ledger is the perfect tool for the job.
buh, i mean, what would it add over just a single hash?
If i give you any video from online would you or your grandma be able to find the hash of the original footage which is not provided?
