@bpcrd what's the advantage of using a block-chain to store video fingerprints, to determine provenance, over say a highly performance-optimized immutable centralized or federated system?

There are advantages to both, as well as using existing blockchains (Ie. Bitcoin) to record small amounts of information via Merkle Trees.

Fun fact: The oldest blockchain pre-dates bitcoin....and started in the 1990's in the New York Times classified via a daily recorded hash value!
