    jarroddicker You mean something like cgccomics.com/grading/grading-scale/ but for digital objects? Like the idea that digital objects will always be in "mint" condition?

      jarroddicker Perhaps a reasonable analogue might be "hosting and access costs" since so many digital objects are hosted centrally, even if the records of those trades are not. Maintaining a digital value accrues cost that way, which can then be rolled into an understanding of its value.

        jarroddicker So running with CGC metaphor for digital objects, perhaps one might rate digital object "mint"-ness on ease of accessibility. If the owner has a seedbox hosting and seeding their own object and transaction record, along with an accessible server with high uptime that is "mint"...

          jarroddicker If owner also owns a server with a high uptime, but isn't seeding a decentralized torrent of their object, or that object doesn't have a lot of seeders, that's "near mint". Whereas an owner who relies on a central server run by a 3rd party might be rated lower, and so on.

            jarroddicker You could easily see this system applied to add hosting reliability to a rating. So if I'm hosting it somewhere sketch whose website could go down, it adds nothing to the score, but if my digital good is displayed using a high uptime zero cost public Github site, big bonus.
