while masturbating furiously in the shower to the imageries of HTs this great idea came to me before i came.
since all audio and video can easily be faked now it occured to me that the only way to create a tamper-proof audio and video recording is to somehow record them in retrieval format by using blockchain technology.
and all camera with critical applications such as CCTVs and body cams can use such technology to provide a temper-proof video evidences in courts or elsewhere.
the problem is that i dont know how to code, so im copyrighting this idea and if anyones interested .....
this could be big.
very big.

that would be a massive fucking blockchain

Good luck encoding data at the pace of my ass.

Why couldn't you just send hashes of videos to an off-site server right as they're recorded?

Essentially, you want everyone else to store all your video on their servers, many many times over. You want them to store millions of terabytes of useless CCTV footage forever, on a blockchain... Lol.

Every file already gets a checksum. It's to ensure the integrity of the data when copying. Checksum changes if the data changes. I suppose every recording could get it's checksum stored on a blockchain but you can't extrapolate the data from the checksum alone. You could compare the original video's checksum to the one you have on the blockchain ledger to verify it's authenticity though. But if you're storing only checksums you might as well use a regular old database.

We shouldn't just write off OP idea. Maybe it could work somehow...

Storing the actual media data would, as aldra pointed, be ridiculously impractical.
But storing just the checksum of each video, as Sophie suggests, would actually be a way to implement this idea.
As long as the whole point is just to ensure the integrity of the multimedia (and thus be able to detect if someone tampered with it in any way whatsoever), and not necessarily guarantying the persistence of the original data, then storing the checksums on a blockchain would actually straight up accomplish exactly this.
The benefit to using a blockchain over a regular old database is that the chain of checksums would be like a higher-order "checksum of checksums", which would in turn provide assurance of integrity of each checksum.
So, yeah, vinny, this ain't such a bad idea.

Come to think of, though, you don't really need to ensure integrity of each checksum I guess, because you can't really fake a checksum.
But by using a blockchain instead of a database to store all the checksums, you do get the benefit of data persistence, since the checksums will be stored on potentially millions of hard drives around the world.
And also, that means anyone can check and validate the integrity of any given video with a much higher degree of confidence.

You can't fucking edit video in real time, dumbass.
