(I'm neither for or against NFTs, interesting concept around ownership but way over-hyped currently)<p>Someone on HN might ask: "Uuh, but how do we know that this is really \"The first iTerm2 Commit\"?"<p>The steps to verify would be like this:<p>- Open the page with the NFT, see the author name/address<p>- In this case "GeorgeNachman" so we search for that on Google<p>- Now two main results from two different sides show up, Twitter and GitHub<p>- Visiting the GitHub user we can verify that it actually is the iTerm2 author<p>- Visiting the Twitter timeline we can confirm the same username has published a tweet about the NFT itself (<a href="https://twitter.com/gnachman/status/1376267539894870020" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/gnachman/status/1376267539894870020</a>)<p>Now, why is this the interesting? Not sure. I find it weird that it's just a screenshot of git output, instead of the actual git data structure, would have been more interesting. But still, would I ever buy it? No, and not sure who the target audience is either.<p>Edit: Right, or you could just look at the HN submitter which also seems to be the author. Verify the other profiles via keybase which is linked. Hi!
