The text read like total mumbo jumbo. I have heard about hyperledger multiple times, but I still don't get what's the value prop. Maybe it is just a trap for banks so they waste their time and resources on that, while the real blockchain stuff moves forward elsewhere?

http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.2/blockchain.html http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.2/bloc... You can easily build a dapp! Not entirely without solidtity but you can use different projects because they are managed by a specification!!! https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/sawtooth https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/sawtooth Is my favorite! It is written in python! It is sponsored by intel and you can easly get started with aws images or docker images or you could even setup everything with Ubuntu!!!!!!

  I can't tell whether the ludicrous ratio of exclamation marks to sentences (11:4 or 11:5 depending on how strictly you define sentences) is sarcasm or enthusiasm.

    He has two other comments in this thread, albeit with slightly more judicious use of exclamation marks, yet I’m still just as confused as you.

Yeah, I studied blockchains before for a job (some business person saying: "hey we should really look into blockchain, and AI, and Big Data, and IoT, because errr...") and I always felt stupid and like I didn't understand it. Simple things like, why is this such a big deal? What problem does it actually solve? Why is it so amazing compared to a database? It's so, so difficult to actually read what these projects actually "do" sometimes. They often don't define what they think a blockchain actually is, or their threat model, or what their solution concretely does compared to regular databases. Once they got me to look at some project similar to this, and I was so confused as to why anyone would care I literally posted it on Hacker News because maybe they would care? But it got shot down. Which was actually quite a good moment for me because I realized that yes, I am right, this stuff is actually nonsense. I eventually realized that, perhaps, they're just deliberately obtuse. Banks or other business people are obviously falling for it. Wait until these bankers learn what Git is.
