government land ownership records
this is being tried already in parts of the world
here: the ledger is public, the government is a body made of many independent small entities with not necessarily aligned incentives
would help to avoid corruption and maintain a legitimate source of truth
- louwrentius 7y agoWe could do that with git.
- pleasereadthis 7y agoHmm. Interesting food for thought. If we also added the following conditions: - All agents of the government sign their commits - Whenever a commit is made to a copy of the repository (perhaps all government agents make a commit to a single repository hosted by the government) then there are several independent parties that make copies of this commit, and in addition there exists a mechanism to establish consensus between these copies of the repository when a conflict arises THEN we might have something that could replace a blockchain. Conversely, if the government agents all committed to a single repository and nobody bothered with making immediate copies and consensus, then the agent could double spend / rewrite the repository.
