@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 generic so one way of looking at the question is if there are non-TW use cases that where blockchain is advantagous or even critical, and only *then* ask if TW could be incorporated and bring value in that context.
Interestingly, you question the value of blockchain tech per se and identify a single use case (NFT's for collectable toys). I didn't intend for this thread to go there but I guess it's run its course so: I can see many use cases where blockchains make sense: One general area is "traceability". For example a *car blockchain* that tracks ownership of cars, their mileage, repairs etc. Or a housing registry. Makes a lot of sense to me. I can also see how central banks / nations would want full control over their money flows. Here's <https://www.winnesota.com/blockchain>a use general case for "logistics" and explanation for why blockchain tech supposedly is perfect for it. If nothing else, the article should make it clear (at least to me) that it can be difficult to see the use of blockchain if one doesn't actually know of the needs for the particular business. Other than traceability, blockchains also bring the smart contract aspect that cuts out middle men for transactions. A pretty big deal and potentially an enormous money saver. And, if nothing else, at least the potential for decentralized control of things should resonate with TW folks. Disclaimer: I know very little about blockchain tech but it is becoming a mature technology and there's billions USD poured into it... so there has to be *something *to it, I figure... <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
