I 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.
