   What is this Creary platform?
   Does anybody has any experience?

   I only briefly read to some stuff and it seems to be based on blockchain.. so is it a nono?

     @brandkopf Just started reading their about stuff, and a red flag already:

     "Certify your creations safely

     Creary offers public and transparent alternative of intellectual property registration making intelligent use of the revolutionary distributed blockchain technology"

     That is a marketing-level lie -- there's no way they can offer what they say here, from a legal *or* technical standpont.

     Also, even comparatively, this is sketchy at best: the CREA currency does not seem to be listed on CoinMarketCap, for instance, which makes it even *more* suspect to me than other such "currencies" -- there is absolutely no guarantee (as for any such "currency") that the whole thing won't disappear overnight.

     I would advise strongly against getting into this.

     Slightly late disclaimer: I am biased against blockchains, cryptocurrencies and NFTs, be it in the field of art or anywhere else.

     This is not a gut bias, though: I am familiar with cryptography, and I have a more than average understanding of this "ecosystem".

     *With* that understanding, I find it a useless and toxic waste of resources and a minefield of grifts.
