Anti-Corruption tech. If everyone's scores are just stored in a SQL databse, people can pay off officials to change their grade, Ferris Bueller-style. Blockchain prevents any province or official from having superuser power over the data.
- frostwarrior 4y agoThat would make sense if: - There weren't other methods to prevent tampering - Governments didn't want anti-corruption methods without having admin powers to exclude themselves.
- kareemsabri 4y agoThis doesn't really make sense. We have SQL databases with permissions to prevent tampering, and audit logs, and myriad other solutions. In addition, I don't see what prevents an "official" from writing a social credit transaction (disclaimer that I have no idea how China's "social credit" system works or even what it is) to the blockchain. Nodes validate to solve disagreements where one node says a transaction happened that did not. This does not appear to be the same type of dishonesty being referred to here.
- threeseed 4y agoYou can achieve this in a SQL database with proper processes, auditing and controls. The world has functioned up until the magical dawning of the blockchain.
