sheogorath: Huh, #DNS over #blockchain (or more general DNS that is based on cryptography)… It's an interesting idea especially for the root DNS servers, but there is a fundamental problem:Key management.The article I read used youtube.com as an example. What if an attacker obtains the private key for this domain? He can now control it or even transfer it.Right now, you can get a court rule that undoes that. But with DoB this would mean everyone has to learn a new domain. Good luck with that…

aral: Blockchain: decentralisation centralised on my coin.Hint: the core of decentralisation isn’t about having a billion copies of the same database. It’s about a billion people each having their own, unique database.PS. In a truly decentralised system, no one makes a billion dollars. *watches all the right libertarians make for the door*PPS. A venture capitalist would never invest in a truly decentralised system. Why? See PS, above.#blockchain #VentureCapital #bullshit

aral: Blockchain study finds 0.00% success rate and vendors don't call back when asked for evidence“Though Blockchain has been touted as the answer to everything, a study of 43 solutions advanced in the international development sector has found exactly no evidence of success.”https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/30/blockchain_study_finds_0_per_cent_success_rate/Man, it seems so bad you’d almost think I’d have a slide warning people about blockchain oil salesmen (they’re almost entirely men) in my talks or something…#blockchain #bullshit

mhall119: I have absolutely no interest in #bitcoin or #cryptocurrency as a value store or tulip replacement. Tell me something cool you're doing, or have seen someone doing, with #blockchain that isn't just buying and selling real currencies.

mike: @deadsuperhero @0x1C3B00DA #BLOCKCHAIN!!! Do it! Do it!!I'm kidding. I am glad that it's being worked on because I do feel that this is a one of the more frustrating things about #ActivityPub integration. It's like having multiple accounts that SHOULD work together, and kind of do, but kind of don't. Even tying accounts together in some way would be preferable. If I post on my #PixelFed account, it automatically posts that content to my Mastodon account? That would work, but the inverse?

The RChain Cooperative is leveraging that model through correct-by-construction software development to produce a concurrent, compositional, and massively scalable blockchain.”https://github.com/rchain/reference/blob/master/faq.md

h: Beyond:- A distributed consensus system has been discovered. Its name is #blockchain. Not very good as a distributed database in its original implementation, and but it's possible that the distributed consensus part will be necessary to implement more sophisticated privacy control.The difficult question here is more social and philosophical than technical.How can peers agree to a fact, without knowing the nature of the fact that you must accept or reject to build consensus?
