Could smart contracts (maybe in addition to a Trusted Execution Environment) be used to enforce these sorts of guarantees?

- mFixman 9y agoHow would you enforce a smart contract guaranteeing that data was deleted and not copied?
- TangoTrotFox 9y agoThis begins and ends with the fact that if you can see something, you can record it. The only way to prevent this is through on-site access only with a thorough physical search and no electrical devices allowed. You can do some clever things to figure out who it is that leaks stuff, but that's another issue.
- beefield 9y agoI'm slightly irritated that there seems not to be a single problem currently that someone would not be proposing cryptocurrency as a solution.
- izzygomez 9y agoTo be fair to the previous commenter, they did not explicitly propose cryptocurrency as a solution; they're just asking a question. Also, cryptocurrency != blockchain technology. That said, I do agree with your sentiment that the blockchain-as-a-solution space is getting a bit ridiculous. I can't imagine a way to translate this problem into a smart-contract-solvable form.
