So, I have been working on a very stupid idea for some time now, that actually started as a social fart sharing app, record your farts, etc.

Then, I needed a way to make sure people were actually sharing farts, and not other noises (like burps or dog barks).

So, ML to the rescue. Train on a corpus of real fart audio and other sounds.

But then, I needed to make sure the farts were not copies or derivative works.

So, audio fingerprinting.

Then, I figured why not throw in blockchain (does not need to be distributed to be able to use the buzzword), to ensure the verified, original farts could not be tampered with.

Now, I believe I have a way for anybody to create unique content that can be ‘converted’ into an NFT.

Investors?

Possibly you!

That proved the market exists. The US alone could create trillions of dollars of NFT value in hours.
You a Letterkenny fan?

There are some aspects of their implementation I had not considered, but being desktop only, it is a different product, in my opinion.

Product adjacent. Nice effort from the degen devs, though.
I had a very similar idea for blockchain-based, social sharing network, except instead of farts, it's poops. I would call them shitcoins, obviously.

This could be a network for farters and poopers.

...do you take personal checks?
Sure!
