Ask HN: What have you applied blockchain technology to?
Hey guys,
just read this article and thought about how the Blockchain-Technology could be used for other stuff than Cryptocurrencies. What examples do you know or have experimented with? Would love to hear your suggestions.
- SirLJ 9y agoWow, 9 hours since posting no applications submitted :-)
- borplk 9y agoI don't have a good answer for you. But I'd say think about when you need "distributed consensus/agreement" (no central authority).
- SirLJ 9y agoWe know the theory, but looks like no cigar in practice
- borplk 9y agoWell that was kind of my point. It's not all that often that you need distributed consensus. The popular and obvious case is payments. Another one could be proof of existence systems (prove file existed as of a specific time by publishing hashes of it in the blockchain) which already exist too.
- SirLJ 9y agoexactly so far I am yet to see something useful implemented on this technology...
