Thanks for your comment, it will help refine the copy on the site so the ideas of the project are more clear.

-For the MVP, we chose Twitter as the content ID layer to illustrate the process of associating a fingerprint with a digital identity. After the fingerprint is broadcast to the blockchain, the service queries twitter for the earliest tweet with the file hash and it is stored in Mine. This puts a lot of trust in Twitter, a centralized service, but it was the best example of associating a digital identity with a fingerprint for our MVP. You can audit twitter for presence of the hash in association to a handle yourself, the same way you can look up your file's fingerprint in the blockchain from our JSON proof. In the future, we envision a fingerprint wallet similar to a bitcoin wallet, where you have as many digital pseudonyms (and private keys) as you like, that will watch a certain folder on your hard drive and broadcast fingerprints to the blockchain automatically as files are added or modified. A hash of the fingerprint combined with your public key will be extra metadata that is embedded.

-For a proof of concept of recalling ownership information, we will be releasing a Mine browser extension that will hash images that you consume as you browse the web and ping the Mine api to see if there is a match. If there is, it will augment the images with information about the creator, as shown in the illustrations on the website. Content platforms will also be able to embed the Mine javascript library into their page so content that is shared on their page will automatically be augmented with creator information (the end user won't need to install anything in this case). The idea of externally identifying content and creators without relying on centralized distribution platforms will be very empowering for a direct creator/audience interaction. You can imagine tipping someone a little BTC with the click of a button right on a website you see their image or hear their song, independent of the platform.

Hi I wanted to share a new project to do with content ID in the blockchain.

Mine is a free service for creators to claim ownership of a digital file.

Mine creates a fingerprint of your file, broadcasts it to the Bitcoin blockchain, and allows you to associate a digital identity by publishing the fingerprint. In the future, we hope to make the origin of digital media and the identity of it's creator discoverable anywhere the content is consumed, without a social media account or any other intermediary.

You can fingerprint your files for free and without needing to own any BTC and read more here: http://minefile.info
