    is there any way to enclose/hide a hash or value in an NFT that only the owner can see?

    • i suppose this goes for all ETH transactions. Can you have a transaction that contains a proof only checkable by the owner?Nairn
    • I mean, one that doesn't give away the fundamental value of whatever ETH was thrown at it.
      A value inside the proof.

    • 'cos if so, they could use that value to be the seed of whatever individualised reproduction process was on offer - printing, etc.Nairn
    • The owner could print [etc] off variants that had a thumbprint overlay proofing within the context that could be then checkable against the hash.Nairn
    • Wait. obvs.
      They could still be copies.
      This only works for printed stuffs.

    • How the fuck do you have a hashable one-time consumption digital article? You can't. not within current tech, anyway.Nairn

      That's *shareable*, I mean.

    • I can physically restrict people from accessing the original Mona Lisa, but I can expect fuck-all control over anything digital, therefore I can't possess.Nairn
    • Therefore any signature I or anyone else may choose to recognise, is utterly of no consequence.Nairn
    • Don't mind me, I'm just doing my thing here, uselessly.Nairn
    • I really am trying to see the value in NFTs, at least somehow.Nairn
    • Hahaha, that was fun! I agree, though, I am still trying to find 'real' value in any NFT. The contract thing, maybe, but still cartoons for $100k, BUBBLE!!formed
    • Nairn, some platforms allow 'unlockable content' which is only available to the buyer. So this could be a link to a Google Drive....microkorg
    • ...where the 'actual' high res image is stored for download. And the 'thumbnail' shown on the platform had a watermark.microkorg
    • To me too this would be the sensible way to have 'done nfts'. You couldn't introduce it now cos no one would be clicking a thumbnail with a watermark to buy it.microkorg
