Beyond curiosity, what practical purpose would such a tool serve vs other methods of verifying assets?

by signing with a keypair you could prove to anyone online you owned something. to list a house or get a loan or mortgage you could use this.

a really neat case for this would be lost items. if each cellphone had its IMEI and your keypair associated you could prove you owned something lost. or if found someone could look you up to return it. you could buy a game or software once and never have to worry about a serial key.

You can do this now, by having centralized state based repository with API. Estonia might have something like this already.

I haven't worried about serial keys in years. Didn't need blockchain for that.

So how many copies of this enormous blockchain would there be in the world?
