OUR TECH MEETS NFTS

Our mantra is to enrich art pieces with an added level of innovation. We start
with cryptography and image proof-of-work; we will expand beyond in the future

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What is Scratch Tech ?

Scratch tech is a technology that applies proof-of-work to digital art, i.e.
creates multiple variations of an original art piece until the hash of a
variation reaches a pre-specified target hash. We call this ‘scratching’

What is a hash?

A hash is a sequence of digits that uniquely represents a document. A hash can
be viewed as a cryptographic fingerprint of a document. You can hash any digital
document (picture, word, video, etc)

What is the cryptographic hash function used by Scratch Tech ?

Made by Bitcoin lovers, Scratch Tech leverages SHA-256. Scratching consists in
iterating a process of creating variations of the original art piece and hashing
the variations through SHA-256

Does Scratch Tech apply proof-of-work the way Bitcoin does?

No. Even though we were inspired by Bitcoin and the principle is to “bruteforce”
SHA-256, the process of scratching is meant to reach a target hash specified by
the artist, not a hash starting with a sequence of zeros. Besides, proof-of-work
is applied to a .gif file, not a Merkle tree of Bitcoin transactions

Can you pool resources to hash through a community ?

Not yet, but this is clearly in the roadmap. It is possible to create Scratching
pools, just like there are Bitcoin mining pools. It will need us to repurpose
Bitcoin mining pool software

What does Scratch Tech actually do when “scratching” a .gif file ?

In .gif palette scratching, Scratch Tech iteratively creates variations through
changes in the palette colors until one variation meets the target hash. In .gif
pixel scratching, Scratch Tech iteratively creates variations through changes a
few pixels of the image until one variation meets the target hash. At first, we
focused on variations with changes unnoticeable to the human eye.

What else will Scratch Tech provide in the future ?

Scratch tech is currently working on massive scratch. Massive scratch is the
opposite of current scratching techniques that are meant to be unnoticeable by a
human. Unlike current scratch, massive scratch is about changing big parts of
the art piece and through large color changes.
Dot scratch is also under creation, this is about adding an element to a
well-known art piece so that the combination of the art piece and the added
element yield a target hash

What is the value of Scratch Tech?

By applying proof-of-work to art pieces, artists can demonstrate that a high
quantity of computing time was dedicated to create the piece of art, i.e. a
literal proof of work. It either adds up to the time spent by the artist or
replaces it in the case that the piece of art was computationally created. The
more computing power applied to create an art piece, the higher its value.

How can artists leverage Scratch Tech ?

Artists can use Scratch Tech to input data that will not tamper with the art
itself (insert name, serial number, birth date, first owner data…). Artists can
also play with it to hide secrets or subversive messages, or enrich past art
with additional elements that will lead to the creation of a meaningful target
hash.

Is Scratch Tech like minting an NFT to make your art unique?

No. Scratch Tech enables artists to create a custom version of an art piece
before the art piece is minted. NFT minting is the process through which the
artist can certify through a blockchain the antecedence and uniqueness of their
art. NFT minting takes place after art scratching

Is Scratch Tech a tech or an art company ?

A little bit of both today : Scratch Tech is initially a technology but we like
to showcase this technology through artistic projects we love. In the long-term,
Scratch Tech will become a tech company only… but a tech company for artists.

Is Scratch Tech selling art?

Yes. We created a few digital art pieces that you can watch on OpenSea :
https://opensea.io/Scratch__Tech or in our Art section

Can I follow or contribute to Scratch Tech?

Yes, we welcome all keen energies. So far, we opened a Twitter account to share
information. Follow us at https://twitter.com/Scratch__Tech We also have a
Discord community to share ideas and discuss the way forward :
https://discord.gg/DkMpgCEz

As an artist, how can I use Scratch Tech ?

Today, we sell our technology through our website. You need to log in, set your
target hash and upload your art. Once your art is scratched with your target
hash, we will alert you that it is ready for you. As it follows the principle of
proof-of-work, the more digits you want in your hash, the more time it will take
and the more expensive it will be

Do you consider partnerships with artists ?

Yes. Instead of paying upfront for scratching through our website, artists can
send us partnership proposals. The two benefits of partnerships for artists are
that 1. there is no upfront payment for scratching (pieces are sold through our
OpenSea account instead) and 2. artists can leverage the community of Scratch
Tech

Can I set a target hash with all numbers and letters ?

No. the first version of Scratch Tech is through SHA-256, therefore the only
available digits are 0-9 and a-f. The only cheat you can make is through the
replacement of letters by similar numbers (e.g. S replaced by 5 or small L
replaced by 1). Full alphabet will be available in the future

How many digits can I set in my target hash?

In the SaaS version, you can set between 1 and 8 digits in your target hash.
This is due to the fact that hashing for more digits becomes either too long or
too expensive for artists. If you do want more digits in your target hash and
are ok to wait, please send us a direct request and we will make a custom quote
for you

Is there a maximum size ?

In the SaaS version, you can scratch .gif files up to 10 MB. If you need to
scratch a bigger .gif file, this is possible. Please send us a direct request
and we will make a custom quote for you.

Which format should my file be ?

Currently, Scratch Tech only applies image proof-of-work to .gif files.
