  • That hardware inputs can be faked is part of my reasoning here because there would be transparency of the source of footage.

    If a reputable journalists fake their own footage and it would be found out their credibility would be gone.

    If they often rely on borrowing footage and don’t fact check it. Credibility will degrade as well.

    Journalist media that does their work and only uses credible sources will thrive.

    My solution isn’t about who or how signature gets created but how ordinary people can check for themselves where a clip within footage originates from.

    I am fine with inventing a new system that does this and call it something else than blockchain. But my understanding is that it does pretty much provide this functionality in a robust manner.

    Also typing these comments on the go caused me to lose something dear to me on public transport. I am very sad now and probably wont engage further.



  • For the longest time now, from before AI, before NFT was a thing i had an idea to incorporating blockchain tech into real life media footage to combat the rise of misinformation.

    The metadata, original author would be stored on this chain the moment footage is recorded. The biggest challenge is that this means the devices themselves need to be connected.

    Adoption would be slow but i imagined news and official channels make use of this tech first. Eventually all footage outside of this will be seen as not trustworthy

    Then NFTBros came along and people have shit on this idea ever since. Some days i feel that was a conspiracy to ruim out perception of potential but more likely humans where just greedy.

    I still believe this could work. Detailed example below:

    The system works with a fair amount of transparency, verifiable digital signatures for recording devices and their owners. Professional cameras and organizations would have publicly known IDs, while individuals could choose to remain pseudonymous authors but would need to build credibility over time.

    Let’s say BBC records an interview. When viewers watch this content on any platform, they can access blockchain verification through an embedded interface (perhaps a small icon in the corner). This shows the complete chain of custody from recording to broadcast.

    The system verifies content through computational comparisons. When a raw interview is edited into a final piece:

    • Each original clip has a unique blockchain signature
    • The final edited version’s signature can be compared against source material
    • Automated analysis shows what percentage of original footage matches
    • Modifications like color correction or audio adjustments are detected through signature differences
    • Additional elements like station logos or intro sequences have their own verified identifiers


  • For more then thousand years you who are Ea-nāṣir will be forgotten, but then during a time when language transcends the world we know and the people can communicate freely to any at any point of time without relying on a messenger, and the ways people expresse their ideas transcend the use of words and blends with the world of art. You will be become remembered.

    The wise men will discover our history and you will be noted amongst us. Your name will be known to them and the existence of your person will become a meme, a sacred expression of their language.

    And the meaning of your name will be that of shitty copper and the spirit of your person will be that of the worst of merchants.

    Ea-nāṣir, a trader, sold sub-standard copper to a customer their scriptures will say. And this is the truth, so will it be.






  • I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.

    You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks

    “1 in 3 (32%) people who illegally stream in the UK say they, or someone they know, have been a victim of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result.”

    320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam.

    This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.

    If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.

    Watching content via an illicit source can expose younger viewers to age-inappropriate content. These unauthorised websites, devices, apps, add-ons, and the content they can access have no parental controls.

    My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
