Very cool idea. Perhaps you could even push the logs into a real block chain...I think a few alt coins could facilitate that.

- forgotmyhnacc 9y agoThe website says that: Not only LogSentinel uses an approach and data structures similar to those of the blockchain, but we are also working on storing data in the Ethereum blockchain
- DougN7 9y agoHow does that realistically work? Imagine hundreds of thousands of servers publishing their logs to a block chain, which has to be synced around the world and stored on the many thousands of participating computers. Sounds like the very definition of a DDOS, or a new category of virus.
- bozho 9y agoIt only pushes the top of the chain every X hours, just creating "safe points". Not all data is pushed to the blockchain of course, it will be too expensive to begin with
- DougN7 9y agoI guess I don't understand. I thought the idea of a distributed ledger was everyone could confirm everything. Maybe my mistake is thinking distributed ledger and blockchain are the same thing?
- bozho 9y agoIt is practically the same thing, yes. But the use-case here is different - you don't need everyone to be able to confirm everything. You need to be sure that your data was not tampered with.
- impostervt 9y agoSeems like something that Siacoin might be better at.

- 2close4comfort 9y agoThis quite possibly the best use for blockchain that I have heard to date!
- bozho 9y agoit is just a part of the blockchain, namely the "chain" :) But thanks
