Shutterstock like service on Nem/Nemのサービスのようなシャッターストック

Technical Discussion
#1

Hi, everyone.

My name is Dorian Stinghe, some of you already know me from the forum. As you know for sure I’m not a developer and no technical magnificence. Nevertheless I am thrilled with Nem and his possibilities. But I am also a passionate hobby photographer and filmmaker.

I’ve been thinking for a long time about how Nem associates my passion with photography and how it can add value to Nem and his ecosystem.

I therefore have the following idea:

I would like to create a platform similar to Shutterstock on a Nem basis. For this I have created a small graphic. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, I lack the technical know-how to implement it.

I would be happy if I could find fellow campaigners for this project. I think it could help Nem and also generate transactionen. if anyone is interested plz report.

Many thanks in advance

Dorian

Project name is NemArt

こんにちは。

私の名前はDorian Stingheです。皆さんの一部はすでにフォーラムから私を知っています。 あなたが確かに知っているように、私は開発者ではなく、技術的な壮大さはありません。 それにもかかわらず、私はネムと彼の可能性に興奮しています。 しかし、私はとても熱心な趣味の写真家と映画監督です。

ネムと彼の生態系。ネムと彼の生態系。

私は次の考えを持っています：

私はNemベースでShutterstockに似たプラットフォームを作りたいと思っています。 このため私は小さなグラフィックを作成しました。 残念ながら、上記のように、私はそれを実装するための技術的なノウハウを描きます。

このプロジェクトのために仲間を見つけることができれば幸いです。 私はそれがNemを助け、取引を生み出すことができると思う。 もし誰かが咬合報告に興味があれば。

事前に多くの感謝

ドリアン

I am all for this idea. In fact, I created a simple mockup:

Very rough though. Any proposed changes will be welcome.

Good idea. Your main issue will be attracting developers. Think about it, anyone who can do it probably already has their own project. You should start networking in your area and try to raise basic funding and build a team. Join meetups, reach out to schools etc. the great thing about NEM is that you don’t need to be a specialist programmer to implement. Even whizzkids from your local high school should be able to do it. Make sure you get them to sign NDA! Also you should look into other projects that have a similar concept such a publica and po.et, I can remember if they are opensource or not but you may link from those projects to others that are opensource. You will also need support from photographers, possibly a local photography group may be willing to give you your first 5-10k to build your concept in return for free licensing for life. Check out angellist and upwork to find engineers but you will need someone you trust on the team already to ensure the quality of their work.

here are some thoughts to help you get this project moving:

  1. please explore Magento ecom platform. you might consider buy multiple vendor extension which enable to you get your vender (photographers) load their virtual project sell online.

  2. get some developer have PHP and API to build linkage between Mangeto with NEM.

  3. For NEM, you what you need a basic Mosaic transfer service between two wallet. For every transaction from eCOM platform, let the platform call NEM do a mosaic transfer and include reference data in the message.

That’s one way to approach it, not a bad way either. I think there is already a PHP library that @gevs wrote.

This is actually not too complex of a project. The Devslopes token sale backend is a great start for something like this and can easily be adapted. The difference for our backend, however, is implementing authentication so users can login, signup etc. Most of this info will be stored in a database (I think) except the photo codes and of course payment.

I would like to grasp all the possibilities for technical implementation with the help of the community. Maybe even a qr-code solution can be found or with mosaics. This is also a nice use case scenario for presentations.

I think this could be done by procedures such as luxtag and simplified in conjunction with CopyrightBank.

One way is to speak the system integrators in the network or our NEM technical team.

Hi Stinghe
Is (Stinghe your first name? sorry I do not know).
Say for example someone wants to make a few dollars from their photography and at the same time get their name out there or at least network within the community (If there is one), then how is it done at present?
I for one can say that there is very little good photography offered online, most probably due to the size of high res images and indeed the fact that people will copy and resell such images for their own use without paying the creator a cent.

Cheers

Thank you @jason.lee we will contact TechTeam. please tell me, is there any way in this matter to work with CopyrightBank? I think the project could also benefit a little from it, at least as a model for the future.

Hi Dan.
So first my first name is Dorian, Stinghe is the surname.
secondly, there are some ways for a photographer to publish his work, just not yet on the blockchain. At least I do not know anything but I can be wrong too.

Here are some examples:


https://pixabay.com/de/photos/veröffentlichung/
https://deathtothestockphoto.com/

and many more.

Correctly, high-resolution images consume a lot of space, so a direct storage on the chain is not really smart. That’s why we want to connect a classic database to the blockchain.

Hi Dorian,

It’s my first reply on the forum!! With your post, it triggered a chain of thoughts being a block chain developer.

  1. A basic web platform can easily be built wired to NEM as a gateway.
  2. However, the main purpose should be copyright and protection. So here are my technical insights:

If we could distribute the image’s components across various nodes, as we render the image, each pixel could be constructed by collating data from all nodes. Similarly during download, there could be an approval process to allow the download. Also during sell and resell, the digital art/ photo could be attached over a smart contract as an asset tracing the owner history and copyrights.

  1. Found some companies on similar lines:

https://binded.com/
https://allpublicart.io/
https://www.verisart.com/

  1. The possibilities are infinite!! With the right people, thought and mind, surely could be a reality!!

Cheers,
Shilpa Karkeraa

I am asking my Tech colleagues to look into this and reply accordingly. Thanks @Stinghe_Dorian for bringing our attention to this forum thread.

This is a great idea. It is definitely doable - and should be done. There are probably a few different approaches, but at the end of this day this project wouldn’t be terribly complex.

  1. Create the front-end component for uploading files somewhere. This code would also talk to the NEM blockchain.
  2. Using a few methods you could take a digital fingerprint of the photo - take pixel data (rgb values) and create a hash, or embed unique meta data in the photo details and create a hash. You could use SHA3 256 which NEM Library supports already. You might want multiple hashes for high or low resolution versions of your image as well as something more loose in case people on the Internet alter the photo slightly.
  3. Then store that hash on the NEM blockchain
  4. You can issue licenses (mosaics) that store a copy of those hashes and are also tied to a person
  5. To question validity of a photo you would build another tool in your front end where you can drop the link of a photo and it can do the same hashing algorithm against pixels,etc, and if a match you can check if it has been licensed properly

I can see in my mind a few good ways to code this without many roadblocks.

I’m happy to talk more about it.

Great response, I think this is the most viable ways to do this.

When referring to mosaics, you are talking about issuing one per photo? Wouldn’t that be expensive?

Also, I think the apostille feature in the Nanowallet does this quite well so we can take pointers from there.

Thanks for the links, very interesting.

Hello there!

We can work something together if you are interested, Luxtag team is willing to help as we are already doing few similar projects as this one and have the right expertise.

If interested please pm here or catch me on telegram at @bafatah

Up!

I’m still looking for technically gifted helpers to get this project on its feet. Mainly a NEM developer and optionally a web designer. If you are interested please contact me.
