I wouldn't read too much into this. The authors don't want to release neither the report or even which the 43 use cases are: http://merltech.org/blockchain-for-international-development-using-a-learning-agenda-to-address-knowledge-gaps/#comment-155 http://merltech.org/blockchain-for-international-development... > The purpose of this blog was NOT to address the use of blockchain, or any DLT, for digital crypto-currency or even financial applications, nor was it to disparage, debunk, or dispel ANYTHING. We were, and remain, technology neutral. If anything, we would say that more testing is warranted, but would advocate that the results of those tests be publicly and fully available. > There is no report. The only product that resulted from our research process is this blog, as Linda Raftree correctly pointed out. > A “use-case” is very different from a “case-study”, the former being more conceptual and the latter requiring significant data for research purposes. > Regarding sharing the list of the 43 use cases, Linda was also correct that the purpose of the this blog was not to “name and shame” and doing so risks distracting from the work we felt has achieved its goal, to motivate conversation around these issues. Two projects are linked from the blog post: https://exonum.com/napr https://exonum.com/napr http://www.amply.tech/ http://www.amply.tech/ I have not heard of either before. This tells us nothing. Basically they have randomly picked 43 out of thousands of projects and won't even publicize which these projects are, or the methodology they used.
