People here on HN are such NPCs when it comes to blockchain. Yaah sure cite another times that VISA has more tx volume or whatever.
I've been working more than seven years in this tech and don't let yourself be deceived - wide scale PKI and immutability of storage is very useful for lots of things.
Sure, 99% of all projects are shitcoins. But it changes nothing about the core tech.
E.g. there are people building quietly the new software supply chain package managers with fully content-addressable and re-producible builds where all hashes are stored onchain to be immutable. But yeah, it's not a VC funded milliondollar project so people can't be happy/angry about it
I want to be happy/angry about it, it sounds actually exciting. Tell me more. Reminds me of how Phoenix BIOS was reversed engineered from the IBM BIOS, and the documentation between documentation team and programmer was entirely written and attested, for legal purposes.
Happy that you're interested. Sadly though, as this community has decided to not have a neutral stance towards new technology, I doubt these efforts will ever be talked about. Instead, the algorithm will serve up a few more NPC-compatible "blockchain is bad" posts. Bon appetite
