git is effectively a blockchain. Trying to use a blockchain for this has many of the same problems as described in GP's comment.

- 3np 4y agoA blockchain could be useful for proving a commit was not done significantly before or after the claimed timestamp, and (depending on how you do it) non-repudiation. IMO I don't see how this is desirable enough to be worth it. Wider adoption of GPG signatures would be much more impactful. It could make sense to use a blockchain for key distribution/key discovery/revocation, effectively as a replacement of PKI, though.
