What do blockchain technology and Frightened Rabbit's
front-man Scott Hutchison have to do with one another?
The simple answer is that the author of this post is a massive
fan of both. But there is another, more tenuous link between the
two that you obviously missed: the photo
which I took (above) of Scott Hutchison playing Old, Old
Fashioned in Maboneng, Johannesburg last year has been
encrypted onto the bitcoin blockchain by Binded.com
("Binded"). Binded have also been so kind to provide me
with a copyright certificate to prove my ownership.
How does this work? Well Binded have what they call a vault, and
in their vault they store your digital files. For every image that
you upload to the Binded vault, Binded create a digital fingerprint
of your photograph and write a permanent record to the bitcoin
blockchain.
