From a centralized source?
So sure. Voting. Wouldn't it be great to have an auditable trail?
But why would you then go and put all of that in one spot?
Wouldn't a better approach be reconfiguring the tech to work in a faster fashion?
- ajkjk 8y agoWhy wouldn't you put it all in one spot? The technical requirement of needing an audit table is ubiquitous and I bet almost every SQL database in history eventually ends up having a history table of some sort. This technical requirement is unrelated to any regulatory requirements about (not) storing data in the cloud, and certainly shouldn't be coupled to it.
- EGreg 8y agoI also don’t get it. Auditable trail? Use a Merkle DAG. Or something like this Permissionless Timestamping Network: https://intercoin.pdf/whitepaper.pdf https://intercoin.pdf/whitepaper.pdf I mean how hard is it? What are the real challenges?
- DanielBMarkham 8y agoGlad it's not just me. Elsewhere they say something like "But it works like a database! You do queries and everything!" Ok. So sign a database. It's like they're expecting developers to not know a damned thing about blockchain, but know they want a secure database and something with cool buzzwords in the name and AWS has one for them as long as they have a credit card. AWS needs to provide clear and compelling places where AWS is not the answer to everything. I am not hearing that, and it indicates to me a lack of appropriate executive direction. Yeah, sure, build a cult. But build a cult with guardrails. I'm not sure that this is the "Make stuff people want" that I would be comfortable pumping to others. I don't know. I must be missing it.
