Has anoyone here been following the "crypto art" stuff? The idea is to store ownership in a blockchain and prevenance stenogrpahically, as far as i can determine, in digital art. There have been protests because of the "high encironmental impact of anything using blockchain", and ArtStation withdrew its anouncement to support crypto art. I'm not at all sure the scheme needs to have an especially high encironmental impact - it's not mining for bitcoins after all - so maybe it's an example of the need for careful messaging?
