That "About" page was frustrating to read. It talks about "common uses" without talking about actual use cases. Like, no realistic scenarios where this thing would come in handy. What industries would it be particularly useful in? Legal? Real estate? Logistics?
The press releases at the bottom talk about it having potential to be used as a notary service, but even those are lacking detail.
edit: getting downvoted by bitcoin fanboys. should have seen that coming!
- niij 11y agoThe only obvious use I could think of is proof of invention of some idea. Like the old "Mail a letter to your self and don't open it proof".
- bobwaycott 11y agoExactly the same as my first thought.
- detaro 11y agoFunny, for me the page actually mentions two applications. (But without any evidence that it would actually hold up in court, which tends to be the thing that matters in such cases)
- teawrecks 11y agoWell, it's mathematically provable, so...Just need a judge who permits logic in court. Good luck with that.
- bobwaycott 11y agoDid you really have no ideas of your own of realistic scenarios after reading that page? I find that not entirely surprising, I guess, but your tone certainly is.
- alasano 11y agoI'm building a fun little service based on storing the hash of a document created by user input. I think it can be very useful and even fun if presented the right way.
