Came across the app ProofMode in the Guardian Project repository for F-Droid. Cool photo app that automatically creates a hash of pictures or videos you take and can share that with others.

I have no need for it personally, that I can think of now, but it's nice to know it exists.

ProofMode Provides Verifiable Camera App for 2024 US Election https://proofmode.org/blog/proofmode-us-election-2024 #election2024 #proofmode #c2pa

Last year, we supported recovery and documentation efforts in post-Hurricane Otis Mexico, through our ProofMode.org project.

Our team member Fabiola reported this: "Documenting the damage to buildings using ProofMode for insurance claims provides additional digital fingerprints and cryptographic signatures for verification of the evidence gathered."

I believe you are familiar with #blockchains that are based on #ProofOfWork, so it should be sufficient to say that the energy required by #bitcoin is already an estimated 120 Twh annually, surpassing several countries.

While single users may try to calm their conscience by only using a fraction of this (and #ProofMode by pointing to its aggregation mechanism), it's the sheer scaling effect that matters. Merely by using the bitcoin blockchain with others, you'd also be contributing to stabilizing bitcoin, fostering an even wider usage of it, and faster burning of our planet. As an idiom in my language goes: no raindrop wants to be guilty of the flood. But they are.

With respect to the myth that mining takes place in remote regions, fueled by "clean" electricity from Iceland, you might wish to read this, to see what these compounds are doing to their environment:

In short: proof of work is a crime against humanity.

"hot air balloon flight over lush, verdant wine country landscape, with slightly, hazy blue skies, filmed on an iPhone".... OpenAI Sora perhaps?

No, if you can believe it, this is actual, raw, verifiable reality as documented and contributed by Roland Albertson to our Proofmode Baseline (https://proofmode.org/baseline) cryptographically notarized, signed, and immutable archive.

If you know a photo was captured with ProofMode, and can verify it with our ProofCheck process or tools, then you can be assured it wasn’t hallucinated by an AI. #rightscon #proofmode @witnessorg
