I nearly dropped all reference to NFTs altogether to avoid this reaction. This a genuine attempt to provide a service to people who want to exchange digitally signed content.
It's applicable to the type of content you're seeing blockchain NFTs used for. It could be used for other types of digital signing/attestations too, even legal documents.
The application code that runs this isn't open source at the moment but there's no reason it couldn't be packaged up. Either way, the intention is to expose this as an API so that people can write their own open source clients for users who don't want to trust the web app.
Great question! :) Right now the UI for creating deeds is from author to owner. We will add the interface for owners to sign on ownership with further deeds in the future. This felt like a feature to leave out for early launch.
The database is postgres under the hood which provides atomicity. We verify the signature of signed pieces (and signed deeds) and then commit the transaction to postgres with a digest of the content (which has a unique constraint on it) - this along with the atomic guarantee ensures there can be no double spend of signed messages.
what measures are in place to detect illicit material? On that note, do you have a content policy? Someone's got to gatekeep and decide what's cool to upload and what's not?
