This is great, I've been watching ascribe.io with great interest, but it really only is useful for digital art. This verisart will be for anything, like a certificate of authenticity, but better (you can fake a certificate)

I collect art and antiques a bit and with eBay the market is huge, but I constantly worry about fakes. It keeps me from making new acquisitions quite often. Verisart is a welcome innovation.

I have a lot of artist friends, I will share this article. Thanks.
