Ways to Hide or Remove QR Code Key

If you decide that you no longer want to view your record and you do not want the record to be associated with your object, you can remove, replace or alter the QR Code Key Using these Methods described below:

Buff Off Engraving
Cover Up Engraving
Replace the Plate

By removing or making the QR non-functional you destroy the link to the object.

Buff Off Engraving

Most metal items can be sanded and buffed to remove engraving. Jewelers remove engraving regularly. Some plated metal cannot be sanded because the plating will be removed in that area alone, a cover-up of your QR Key Code should be done in that case.

Cover Up Engraving

Engravers can apply additional engraving on top of the QR Code Key to make the Key unreadable. This works well for plated objects. The Key can be partially or completely hidden.

Key Codes can also be covered by a metal plate or paint.

Replace Plate

QR Code Keys that are on metal plates can be removed or replaced. Engraving shops can assist with removal and obtaining a new plate. A new QR Code Key could be applied to the plate and a new record added.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my Digital Album stored?

Digital Albums are stored on VeChain Thor's blockchain. It is a distributed ledger system with storage "nodes" throughout the world. Information on the blockchain is encrypted and your QR code will be your "key" to unlock your record.

Who can see my Digital Album?

Your Digital Album is encrypted and stored on the blockchain. You need your QR code to look at your record. Your QR code is your "Key" so keep it safe and don't share it publicly or on social media.

My videos won't upload?

The size of the files is most likely too large. Try compressing the file to between 2-4 MB. If your phone or tablet doesn't do this in the camera app, you can download a number of free apps that will do this. Some of the better ones are: Video Compressor, Video Dieter 2, Resize Video and Video Compress. If you have trouble creating your album, please Contact Us.

Why is blockchain the better choice?

Blockchain is better because Digital Albums are permanent and immutable and cannot be lost or hacked like cloud storage. Blockchain is also a distributed ledger so instead of a single storage point, like cloud storage, storage "nodes" are distributed throughout the world. Blockchain also protects your privacy with encryption. Photos and documents you store on blockchain are not available to Search Engines.

How long will my Digital Album be stored?

Your Digital Album is encrypted and permanently stored as part of the VeChain Thor blockchain. VeChain's storage nodes are distributed throughout the world. Once your Digital Album is part of the blockchain it is permanently stored with no additional storage fees.
