What's the Byzantine Generals solution he's talking about? I thought most BC implementations can't recover from worst case BG problems?
That said, I know a lot of people using the tech and they're making money with it, solving real technical problems. I suspect maybe Bray doesn't know about it because it's easier to assume that it isn't than to verify it so.
There are specific industries where block chain limitations don't matter, and its guarantees do.
- AstralStorm 10y agoApparently those "real technical problems" have already been solved in another way that is commonly implemented or are unimportant.
- KirinDave 9y agoI mean, a great example is medical records. I know because the concept if using hash blocks for history predates Bitcoin. Personally I think both the hype and the anti-hype exist because we finally gave this family of data structures a snappy name. Also, I found the BG solution he was referring to and it's rather soft.
