But none of that requires a Blorkchain to do.
Just because Blorkchains can solve a given problem, doesn't mean it's the best, or only solution. One could design a notetaking app using remote controlled combine-harvesters that mow the notes into prepared fields of wheat serving as storage media, and camera drones to read the information back. Doesn't mean it makes sense to do so.
- can16358p 5y agoI agree with overengineering part where people try to blockchain-ize everything for the sake of doing it (and raising money). On the other hand, I still believe my example about freedom is still a perfect use case of it and I don't know other ways of doing it.
- usrbinbash 5y ago> I still believe my example about freedom is still a perfect use case of it How exactly does the blorkchain or "web3" achive that? There still needs to be a host for the webapps through which it's accessed. There still need to be DNS entries. The people acessing it are still doing so via ISPs. All these are gatekeepers, which an authoritarian regime has control over. Gatekeepers don't go away just because the service decides to use a distributed ledger.
- can16358p 5y agoWhile in theory authorities could control everything obviously, if there are more real world apps that majority of the world starts using on those platforms, and more layers of protection something comparable to Tor, it will be inconvenient for state actors to block it all and they'll need to give up at some point or otherwise if they try to control they either lag behind by blocking it all or need to consume enormous resources to track people. Oh BTW if you want people to take your comments more seriously you can stop deliberately misspelling names of technologies.
