You've just invented a new kind of "futures trading" and the mother of all kinds of innovative financial scams. Awesome! Someone should definitely start a business trading in "souls" and NFTs seem to be of the same ilk, so you guys are onto something.



Couldn't the Bockchain be used to make sure souls can be optioned away only once? We would have finally found a use for the Blockchain after all!


This already exists - that's how Heaven and Hell keep track of souls.

You know why it's so hot in Hell? Because that's where the exhaust ports of the AC units cooling the soulchain mining servers are.


Fantastic! Surely someone will torture you for your key, no? This needs to be an episode of Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell.


Even with the key the transaction cannot be deleted. The eternity of the soul is a perfect fit for an append-only ledger.


Starting a timer to see how long it takes for a soulchain to be offered.


Well, if you're powerful enough you can always fork to create Horcruxes


That technology is too advanced to be revealed to humans, didn’t you get the memo?
