Renting gear: prove its condition
Bike, skis, kayak, tools: when you rent gear, a defect that was already there can be blamed on you when you bring it back. This 40-second video explains how to photograph the gear when it is handed to you, then anchor those photos on the Bitcoin blockchain, for free.
Key points
- Photograph the gear before using it, scratches and defects included.
- Anchor the photos in a minute: they get a provable date.
- If there is a disagreement on return, anyone can check that they already existed, without going through OSCAR.
Your photos stay on your device: only their digital fingerprint is timestamped.
