That is so cool.

One of the things that Bitcoin (and public key cryptography) does is to
tackle the problem of authenticity. Rather than certificates you have
cryptographic signatures. Crypto signing instances of net art is a way
of asserting their authenticity. Crypto signing them with an edition
number is a way of asserting their limited edition status.

This is all old 90s Cypherpunk stuff, but it's that time again. :-)
