Hey PH’ers! My name is Nathan Lands. I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Blockai, a copyright platform. Excited to be sharing with you all what we've built and to get your feedback! We started Blockai to help artists and photographers claim and protect their copyrights. You put your photos on Blockai to claim your copyright. Then we create a permanent record in the bitcoin blockchain and give you proof. We search the internet to show you all the places your photos are being used. Soon we'll give you ways to deal with infringements as well as make money with your copyrights. Today we launched "Blockai for Twitter", the first integration of many we're building. You just link your twitter account to your Blockai account. Then when you tweet a photo just add the hashtag #blockai to claim your copyright. We'll tweet a link to your copyright claim record. Here's a landing page we created to explain how the integration works: https://blockai.com/twitter TechCrunch & Fstoppers recently wrote about us: https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/1... https://fstoppers.com/business/n... Also, I wrote a blog post with more details about why we're building this: https://medium.com/@NathanLands/... Hope you'll try out Blockai for Twitter! My co-founder Oli Lalonde and me are both here to respond to questions. Looking forward to your feedback. 😘 -Nathan

@nathan_lands @nathanlands - any plans to assist with US registration, so your users can threaten people with statutory damages?

this feature for auto-uploading and new user on-boarding is ingenious!

@global_licious thanks! We're working on lots of other cool integrations. This is just the first of many. :)

Great tool! I believe in open source but until we reach that stage responsibly this is really useful.
Oli Lalonde
@ideasrex thanks. We are not fully open source but some pieces of our infrastructure are (https://github.com/blockai).

This is officially my favorite Product Hunt submission in months. Solves a complicated regulatory problem with tech. Removes friction. Makes people's lives easier. I hope it takes off.

@shortformernie thank you Ernie, that means a lot to us. We're just getting started.. lot more to come. :)

I just used Blockai for Twitter to automagically copyright my photo. Easy, seamless integration.

Congrats on the launch! Awesome product!!!
Nathan Lands
@silverdel thanks!

Clever integration idea! How do you deal with doublets or concurrent claiming?
Oli Lalonde
@llabball Thanks! Right now, we only prevent identical files but we use our matching engine, along with other signals to flag claims that look suspicious. Each claim is assigned a level of trustworthiness internally which is not currently publicly visible. This process will become increasingly automated but is still very much a work in progress.

This reminds be of that facebook prank a while back. It also feels overwhelmingly lame and awful. Seems like someone's looking to be kingpin of abusive IP litigation. GROSS. "@sawyerfeels — Attorney, Conde Nast @nathan_lands @nathanlands - any plans to assist with US registration, so your users can threaten people with statutory damages? Nathan Lands — Blockai @sawyerfeels yes."
Nathan Lands
We want to help creators protect their creations and earn a living. Not become a "kingpin for abusive IP litigation". If you want to understand more about why we're building Blockai please read my medium post. posthttps://medium.com/@NathanLands/....

I just get a Twitter error when trying to use the login via Twitter option.
Nathan Lands
@mattnavarra hey Matt, thanks for letting us know! Having a hard time reproducing the bug. Can you send a screenshot to info@blockai.com?

@mattnavarra @blockai thank you! Looking into it. First time we've seen that error.
