Congratz, let's see if the "real world" shows an interest in the campaign
What if someone hacked the website database and changed data? This is my #1 problem with all current websites. I will still support your project while its built with the traditional full-stack model. I hope you switch one day in like 2 or 3 years once blockchain tech is more advanced.
All websites are at risk of being hacked in one way or another, even the btc blockchain is not immune it's just unlikely but we take every precaution we can, hashed addresses etc.Our database will be distributed across our servers but we probably wont ever store data in the blockchain.
We could register scans on the btc blockchain right now and just log the transaction numbers but then we would end up maintaining a database again, only now we are forcing btc node maintainers to store extra data unnecessarily and adding to a blockchain already over 30GB in size.
Being able to keep track of this information without burdening the blockchain is a feature of CPOP.
Nice idea. I'm not into websites anymore though. I only trust decentralized blockchains. I'm excited for the day when blockchains can be searched instantly. I hope you move this project to a blockchain one day in the future.
Since only the extended public key is submitted there is no trust involved because no private components are contained within the public key What if someone hacked the website database and changed data?

This concept goes good with NFC tags for quick authentication...
