Title: IPStock blockchain
Post by: Not Today on September 21, 2018, 09:16

Hey all,

Just came across this website today called IPStock (https://ipstock.com/). It's blockchain based and apparently has the capacity to automatically distribute your media to all agencies you work with.

Has anyone heard of it or tried it? Is it worth considering?

Thanks!

what does it mean "blockchain based"? (in the context of sending one file to multiple sites)

I don't think sending files to multiple sites is related to blockchain, well not just yet anyway, maybe in a few years. I'm guessing that's just another service they provide.
 
Also found this link with more info, I don't think they have launched: https://ico.ipstock.com/

Well, these dodgy blockchain sites don't have a good reputation on here. Why would this one be any better?

I'll wait until 2020 when the plan has gone through phases. Also by then maybe the whole blockchain disruption fad will have passed? If this solution to a created problem, should work, all the better?

If I read right this one will be tied to the value of Eth based on .00125 : 1

Anyone interested should read the white paper from start to finish including the founders of this blockchain and the creative agency associated with that.
