what A hashed linkedlist, each node ("block") corresponding to a subsequent timeframe and containing a hash tree with transactions which have occurred in that timeframe. In general, the hash for each block is of a certain "difficulty" - that is to say, containing a nonce in their data such that the hash has a certain number of leading zeros. The computational complexity of computing these hashes in conjunction with the fact that everything can be cryptographically verified means the "ledger" blockchains represent are in theory resistant to tampering, granted the amount of legitimate computing power exceeds the amount of illegitimate computing power. In public networks - which is what they were engineered for - this also secures the chains against fraudulent forks containing transactions which may contradict the state conveyed by the main / legitimate chain. In "proof-of-work" cryptocurrencies, most notably Bitcoin, "miners" (users that compute these hashes) are awarded "coin" for computing these hashes, and for confirming transactions in the network, which they may then transfer to others and use as fees for others to confirm transactions, depending on whoever "mined" the last block. This system is rather convoluted for any sort of enterprise application, and it's genuinely a waste of time for businesses and other closed organizations. For business-to-business and other sorts of transactions between parties that do not trust each other completely, perhaps it's applicable. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's hard to understand what 'success' means here, never mind boiling down to a percentage. There doesn't seem to be a "study" in the OP.

Its almost like it was an elaborate scheme to get the early investors rich. Got a bunch of new unknown worthless shit? Tell people its valuable and theyll start buying it Tell that to migrants fleeing corrupt and wartorn countries with their life savings intact. Everything is intrinsically worthless without demand and practical utility. The intent was to create a reliable medium of exchange that couldn't be controlled or otherwise manipulated by a central entity, and with respect to that it's doing a decent job. Most every technology and trend tends to reward early adopters that assume risk - in this case, in the form of time and effort spent developing and proliferating the technology, and money spent on infrastructure to support it. In that regard, it has probably been the lowest risk highest reward investment in history. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That it's at the intersection of game theory, economics, cryptography, and systems engineering is what makes it most interesting. From a pure cryptographic standpoint, it doesn't seem to bring much that is new to the table. Then again, the ins and outs of cryptography aren't my strong point. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

For business-to-business and other sorts of transactions between parties that do not trust each other completely, perhaps it's applicable. That is an understatement. A trustless environment to do business, smart contract where people have to abide to their word to get what they want, who wouldn't want this? Imagine if the government spending was on a blockchain, where the budget is set up in a smart contract. The people could verify every action the government takes. It'll take a level of transparency to a whole new level since all transactions are posted in the ledger. If government is misusing their funds, then they will no longer have access to the funding. I know my local government desperately needs this system. Blockchain technology opens up a whole new world of possibilities especially via smart contracts. I hear what's preventing smart contracts from reaching their full potential is the oracle problem, since oracles provide smart contracts with the information that the conditions have been met to execute the smart contract, but we need a way for oracles to be trustless... --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif ...
