NFT numbers (uint256) will match the MtGox account number, and a hardcoded limit will prevent any NFT from being created outside the range of MtGox accounts.
With each token will also be stored two “weight” values corresponding to the latest balances of the corresponding MtGox account, one for the BTC balance in satoshi, and one for all fiat converted to 1/100th of JPY at the rates published by MUFG as of April 23rd 2014 (archive). When applying for the NFT, users can decide to opt out of having their final balance stored as weight in the NFT
Owning a MtGox NFT proves you’re OG. You were there in the early days of Bitcoin, and now you can prove it on the blockchain.
A deadline will be set for filing claims, after which it will not be possible to file new claims for accounts. The address used to sign claim certificates will only be stored on a hardware security module which will be destroyed after the deadline has passed and all claim investigations have completed.
Additionally, the system will leverage Stripe’s identity verification process (or any trustworthy identity verification process) in order to submit a verified identity which can be matched against any source of real names, such as the original bankruptcy approved claim names, support emails, etc.
So this is how they hope to get identity info from a bunch of early bitcoiners who declined (or refused) to file a claim?

I only had 5 BTC, in there, and MtGox is refusing that I had had 5 BTC. So I don't really care about my identity being farmed.
