1. A talking head digital identity immutable dual authentication method, comprising:
publishing a talking head and talking head show, comprising:
incorporating talking head files and talking head show files into specially formatted files, comprising:
hashing the talking head specially formatted files and the talking head show specially formatted files, using Merkle tree hashing,
uploading the hashed talking head specially formatted files and the hashed talking head show specially formatted files, each to a blockchain,
signing the talking head specially formatted files and the talking head show specially formatted files,
uploading the signed talking head specially formatted files and the signed talking head show specially formatted files, each to a server;
verifying the talking head and the talking head show, comprising:
verifying signatures of the signed talking head specially formatted files and the signed talking head show specially formatted files,
verifying that hashes of the signed talking head specially formatted files and the talking head show specially formatted files from the server match the hashes of the hashed talking head and the hashed talking head show specially formatted files from the blockchain, comprising:
downloading the signed talking head specially formatted files and the signed talking head show specially formatted files, each from the server;
recalculating hashes of the downloaded signed talking head specially formatted files and the downloaded signed talking head show specially formatted files, each from the server, using unique bitmap stacks of the talking head and the talking head show files,
the recalculated hash values comprising Merkle Tree hash values of the downloaded signed talking head specially formatted files and the downloaded signed talking head show specially formatted files;
downloading the hashed talking head specially formatted files and the hashed talking head show specially formatted files, each from the blockchain,
verifying that the recalculated hash values of the signed talking head specially formatted files and the hashes of the talking head show specially formatted files from the server match the hashes of the hashed talking head and the hashed talking head show specially formatted files from the blockchain;
incorporating a watermark and/or a logo into the talking head show;
playing back the talking head show, if the recalculated hash values of the signed talking head specially formatted files and the talking head show specially formatted files from the server match the hashes of the hashed talking head and the hashed talking head show specially formatted files from the blockchain.
