Ascribe Timestamps Comics on theBitcoin Blockchain Matthew Warner September 28, 2015

Whilst Blockchain technology is most often associated with Bitcoin and other

cryptocurrencies, there is use of the technology for other services.

An article from AllCoinsNews in July highlighted Berlin-based company Ascribe, a

startup providing IP and copyright tracking and protection using Bitcoin’s Blockchain.

The company has continued to expand and they now count Titanium Comics as a user

of their blockchain-based ownership platform.

Being one of the first companies to sell their comics in bitcoins, Titanium Comics

continues to revolutionize the comic book industry – not only with their unique

storylines and characters, but also by offering digital limited editions of their work.

Titanium Comics has been eager to praise the services and possibilities offered by

Ascribe, highlighting the significant benefits of using it to protect and monitor their IP.

Creating a timestamped record on the blockchain not only allows the company to have

evidence of ownership which is as safe as Joshua Arcane (one of their characters –

pretty much invulnerable thanks to being protected by one of Lucifer’s daughters –

awesome!), but also reduces the amount of time and money spent on traditional forms

of IP and copyright protection. With such a quick and easy process available to them,

all their effort can go into producing future comics.

However, possibly even more useful is the opportunity this provides for Titanium

Comics, other publishers and companies to produce limited or special editions of

works. The ease of assessing the authenticity of assets by checking the Blockchain

means that fans and collectors can feel secure in purchasing genuine, exclusive copies.

By providing a safe channel for the sale, sharing or otherwise transferring of their IP,

companies can feel confident in utilizing technology and digital media to reduce their

outputs for physical assets: saving money on printing, shipping, binding and the like

only increases the efficiency of the business.

Using Ascribe’s services in this manner, Titanium Comics and other customers are

able to specify their own limitations on distribution and therefore they have been to

provide unique products for their customers. This has allowed them to keep their

focus on creating further comics, and anything that brings more superheroes into the

world gets two thumbs up from me!
