Abstract: A system provides an immutable record of human creative output as one or more secure disclosure threads. The immutable record may be stored on a blockchain. Addresses to the data corresponding to the one or more secure disclosure threads may be encrypted and stored on a blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on the same blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on different blockchains.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a global identity (ID) is generated by receiving a plurality of documents which, in total, only a particular person has ready access, and assigning a global ID to actual name of the particular person. Registration on the blockchain gives others a way to verify that a transaction was signed by the person and sent from the person's personal electronic device by transmitting a challenge message to the person as a digital challenge, and verifying that the person possesses a corresponding private key by responding with an encrypted message that can be decrypted to display the original message.

Abstract: According to embodiments, possession of a private key is replaced with possession of a registered personal electronic device, such as a smartphone, as proof of identity. Registration on a blockchain includes publishing a person's public key and registering the person's IMEI (Hardware ID) Hash, according to an embodiment.

Abstract: The systems and methods may be used to recommend an item to a consumer. The methods may comprise determining, based on a collaborative filtering algorithm, a consumer relevance value associated with an item, and transmitting, based on the consumer relevance value, information associated with the item to a consumer. The method may further comprise generating a ranked list of items based upon a plurality of consumer relevance values, transmitting a ranked list of items to a consumer, and/or re-ranking a ranked list of items based upon a merchant goal.
