"the place of origin or earliest known history of something." "the quality of being genuine or real" "the act, state, or right of possessing something." TIL that 3 words with different definitions are also synonymous

WHAT is having its history traced, and is being proven to be real, and is having its history placed in context? It's not the artwork itself, because the NFT doesn't tell you jack shit about the actual painting

Good Lord I can't believe I even have to have this argument right now when there's like ten Twitter accounts you can tag to instantly mint a token for someone else's art by replying to their post

It's literally the joke from The Little Prince where the guy is making a list of every star and planet and celestial object he sees in the sky so he can write in his ledger that he owns them and if you want him to change the entry in the ledger so you own them you have to pay him

and of course, there's nothing stopping you from making your own ledger with exactly the same information and selling the "distinct" ownership that your ledger records

Having your own ledger does not come with proof from the creator's address that it was minted on that new ledger. Surely you understand this.

The knowledge that the person who minted the initial token actually is the same as the person who drew the artwork is a reputation problem that cannot be solved inside the "trustless" chain of provenance itself

Actually it can. There are what are called zk-rollups and new identity mechanisms which enable you to store such verifications while maintaining anonymity. The creator themselves can confirm their work in many various ways.

Lol you can store the "verification" but you can't store the actual knowledge that the person doing the verifying wasn't also lying There is no purely online way you can prove facts about the offline world Come on dude this is basic shit

This is the old joke about how someone owns a clearly fake collectible yelling "But it can't be fake! It came with a signed certificate of authenticity!"

Only this is even more absurd, like "It can't be a fake painting, it came in secure tamper proof packaging, and interfering with the mail is a federal crime! When would someone have been able to sneak a fake in there?!"
