Liquid Non-Fungible Token
(LNFT) by FLOW
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are making daily headlines with record-breaking transactions such as a Crypto-Kitty, Beeple's digital artwork or the first tweet by Twitter CEO Dorsey selling for millions. NFTs are the hottest new thing coming out of the Silicon Valley disruption kitchen.
An NFT links a digital asset with a unique identifier in an unalterable way as recorded in a blockchain. My company FLOW, where I am a co-founder, is entering the NFT blockchain business – from a unique innovative vantage point – to facilitate all complex and secure transactions by simply using email or phone number: introducing LNFT or Liquid NFT.
The focus use case is issuing smart event tickets, integrated at the source with FLOW technology, in order to allow artists & event producers to participate in ticket resale or even ticket scalping revenues in a commensurate and inescapable way.
However, concerned as we all are about the return to normal from the present COVID times, FLOW has pivoted and can be used (very) securely, (very) privately, and (very) simply, in order to verify user vaccination in any circumstance, anywhere: no app, no software download, no nothing required except email or phone access.
The FLOW NFT Vaccination Pass technology exceeds the specifications the EU Commission has published for their Covid-19 "Digital Green Certificate".
​
Our LNFT solution supports both data capture and provision of certificates, for vaccination, COVID-19 test, and patient recovery use-cases.
​
Our solution offers more than is being asked for:
-
pin code user certification upon each verification/use, ust like with a credit card
-
countries can join the system, beyond EU use only, and thus achieve true multi-lateral opening of economies and freedom of movement
FLOW LNFTs are based on blockchain technology and cannot be faked or hacked. Flow never knows anyone's identity. Processing at the government back-end can be set up flexibly so that even the government will not know the actual identities being checked, if it wished to do so.
However ingenious and innovative, all of this is straightforward and fast to realize.

OTT Television
Over the top content (OTT) refers to audiovisual content delivery over the Internet. My company delivers a package of 20 US live television channels to US expatriate subscribers in Europe.
Consumers can access OTT content through any Internet-connected device such as tablets, smartphones, gaming platforms, and smart TVs.
My key interest besides work is philosophy. My extensive library covers many currents of thought.
Lately, I have been fascinated by Speculative and New Realists, as well as Object Oriented Ontology (OOO) – Quentin Meillassoux, Tristan Garcia and Markus Gabriel ("Why the World Does Not Exist").
Utterly provocative – as in: thought provoking – they make the examined life fun to explore: Think of a unicorn in police uniform hiding behind the moon. In OOO, against Kant, this thought is a valid and entirely knowable object as real as the Empire State Building or me typing here :)
​
And then there is the quantum cosmology of Thomas Görnitz, which echoes remarkably Gilbert Simondon's philosophy of relations, the two bodies of work of major interest to me right now.
