An Indian state is using blockchain to collect DNA data of 50M citizens
- smt88 9y agoLike a lot of big blockchain news, this seems like an application that derives no benefit from blockchain and likely adds some drawbacks. It also mentions that the data will be encrypted (and only accessible to its owner), but some organizations will be able to access aggregate data to do studies... That implies a central authority, which further suggests to me that blockchain doesn't add anything valuable to this application.
