Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

If I may remind all, block chain is simply an algorithm, it can be used in many ways including in ways counter to its well known applications, such as cryptocurrencies. A Distributed Ledger can serve many functions and you can have open transactions that a fully traceable, in fact that is a

Thanks for the reply. It will ceratinly help me to think of these as distinct technologies, at least until I get a bit more "han(d)s-on" experience :-) On Monday, May 10, 2021 at 12:35:24 PM UTC-4 inmy...@gmail.com wrote: > A distributed ledger and a blockchain are distinct technologies.

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

A distributed ledger and a blockchain are distinct technologies. You can use a blockchain to build a verifiable distributed ledger (verifiable in the sense of being able to detect tampering after data has been entered, there aren't any checks on the validity of the source data), but it is far

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

I remain interested in Distributed Ledger Technology much more than I am interested in BitCoin and its other financial derivatives, that even Central Banks are considering as Cash replacements. ( And I am not at all interested in NFTs since the Name says it all ... "Non Fungible" ... ) One

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

or perhaps I am being too hard on the idea. Instead if you all want I can add blockchain to tiddlywiki and sell NFTs pointing to wikis that I made, like the original twederation wiki or the interaction fiction wiki. On Monday, May 10, 2021 at 10:54:03 AM UTC+2 Jed Carty wrote: > Yes, the

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

Yes, the central question is could blockchain be useful to tiddlywiki. And so far the only answer has been to use it as a proof of existence by storing what is in one blockchain (file hashes in git) in a different from in another block chain. Also, traceability in a blockchain is guaranteed

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

Mart, I applaud your raising blockchain as a possible integration to tiddlywiki. I spent some time researching the technology, but I could not build an instance, nor am I an expert, however some thoughts; I think it could be a good technology to make use of with tiddlywiki, especially since

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

One blockchain-related thing I do with my TiddlyWiki is stamp the Git repo containing the wiki with OpenTimestamps . It piggybacks on PGP signing, adding a timestamp on top of the signature. Whenever a commit is made, it calculates hashes for all the blobs in the

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

@inmysocks That's a very sober approach - but/and which I don't think anyone has contradicted. My question is; *could *blockchain somehow be of value for TW? I would not be surprised if it could, especially for aspects that we currently disregard or dismiss for TW. After all, TW is very

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

The first, and really only, question about all of this is, what would be improved by adding a blockchain or NFTs? And then, if somehow there is something to improve, is the improvement get us more than the cost in complexity and real-word resources required to build and maintain the chain?

Re: [tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

Indeed as some of you note, I just posted this as food for thought. BTW, here's some decent list I found with examles of uses of blockchain tech. Please note that this thread is not a discussion about the validity of Bitcoin or

[tw5] Is blockchain still not for TW?

Some years ago I posted the idea about TW on blockchain (i.e the tech upon which e.g Bitcoin is based). It was not met with any enthusiasm but I wonder if the sentiment is still the same. At least two things have changed:
