Didn't get on the Bitcoin gold rush? Fret not, Kodak comes to the rescue:

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Kodak and WENN Digital, in a licensing partnership, announced the launch of the KODAKOne image rights management platform and KODAKCoin, a photo-centric cryptocurrency to empower photographers and agencies to take greater control in image rights management.

Anyone interested in a slightly used bridge? Seriously...

I think that is is going to be exciting for those who sell photos.
I've read the whole block-chain tech is going to be used for many other things outside of crypto-currency, but I can't even imagine how it will affect my life.

While I applaud the concept, the devil will be in the details.

News of porn industry switching to film and reintroduction of Kodachrome would probably move the stock a cent or two. Funny world we live in...

Of which there are none. I can't even find any information on Kodak's "licensing partner" WENN Digital. It's privately held and doesn't have a web presence.

Kind of silly. But you know what might be a great use blockchain technology? Copyright ID for photos. Anyone working on that?

I guess I'll be buying all the Tri-X and Double-X I plan to use for the rest of my life in the next few months, because I think this deal will put Kodak out of business for good.
