Disagree. Most servers and bartenders are in favor of tipping culture and want it to stay this way with zero wages and societally enforced tips.
Yes, the corporations are the enemy, but these other struggling people are on the side of the actual enemy.
It's not. Wait till you find out how they made movies before CGI!
A MAC is symmetric and can thus only be verified by you or somebody who you trust to not misuse or leak the key.
You sign them against a known public key, so anybody can verify them.
Regular digital signatures is what's needed here You can still use such a signing circuit but treat it as an attestation by the camera's owner, not as independent proof of authenticity.
If it's just the cameras owner attesting, then just have them sign it. No need for expensive complicated circuits and regulations forcing these into existence.
I think you are misunderstanding things or don't know shit about cryptography. Why the fuck are y even talking about publicly unlockable encryption, this is a use case for verification like a MAC signature, not any kind of encryption.
And no, your process is wild. The actual answer is just replace the sensor input to the same encryption circuits. That is trivial if you own and have control over your own device. For your scheme to work, personal ownership rights would have to be severely hampered.
All of this could be done without blockchain. Once they sign a signature with their private key they can't unsign it later. Once you attest something you cannot un-attest it.
Just make the public key known and sign things. Please stop shoehorning blockchain where it doesn't belong, especially when you aren't even giving any examples of things that blockchain is doing for you with 100000x the cost and complexity, that normal crypto from the 80s/90s cant do better.
Just because you're writing this on the fediverse doesn't mean it's the answer to everything. It's certainly not the answer to this.
If you've been saying this for a long time please stop. This will solve nothing. It will be trivial to bypass for malicious actors and just hampers normal consumers.
Blockchain is the opposite of what you want for this problem, I'm not sure why people bring this up now. People need to take an introductory cryptography course before saying to use blockchain everywhere.
Weechat is the only other irc client I recommend
First blame the thief. But then in the same breath blame the manufacturers that refuse to sell cars with meaningfully working locks. If you understand the tech many car companies keep selling cars that have locks that are about as secure as a zip tie.
The US has not had uncontrolled gun distribution and nobody is asking for that. You can't legally buy a gun without a background check and more, and it has been this way for decades.
Who cares? We shouldn't have the choices on the ballot being both choices that the majority of Americans don't want
