I can't be the only one who is both disgusted and concerned how in this day and age of rampant interconnectivity and unprecedented opportunity for creativity, many of the voices who dare approach

A colleague of mine shared a story which happened recently with his young daughter (around 6yo) in a car: - Daddy, daddy, play the "aweem-ba-we aweem-ba-we" song! - I can't right dear, I'm tying your

No matter what the future of private blockchains might be, their best current use case is in the standardization of communication between various, likely disparate organisations. The whole "blockchain

I was talking with a colleague today about practical applications of blockchains outside cryptocurrencies, and he defended the opinion that blockchain is nowadays used more than ever, but the vast majority

Just a thought, and excuse me if it has already been done: memory sizes on ASICs are growing (as well as on FPGAs and GPUs) and logic transistors are extremely cheap. The next hard thing seems to be bandwidth.

As a pet project, I've been working on putting Wikipedia on my blockchain implementation named "Daisy." Since Daisy is a Proof-of-Authority blockchain whose blocks are SQLite blocks, it's very suitable

There's this pet project I have, the Daisy blockchain, which uses SQLite databases as blocks. Literally, each block is a completely normal SQLite database and can be accessed (read-only) as such. It progresses

Opinions are like arseholes: everybody has one. -- Anonymous Some time ago I sat down to write an article about what, to my personal and subjective understanding, money is. It was hastily written and in

tl;dr: We can create a system where account state (e.g. all data associated with an address, including balance, tokens, etc.) regularly migrates between blockchains. The point of using blockchains is not

Daisy, my PoA blockchain where blocks are SQLite databases, is a bit over a year old by now, and it's gaining features mostly on as-needed basis. Patches and contributors are always welcome, of course.

I did a lecture early this year to students of the local technical college, with the topic of futurism in the context of the blockchain and aiming to inspire young minds to think in new directions. One

 tl;dr: If your project doesn't specifically benefit from a feature which is only offered by blockchains, save yourself the effort and the pain and use a regular database. This is the second part

tl;dr: If your project doesn't specifically benefit from a feature which is only offered by blockchains, save yourself the effort and the pain and use a regular database. As an introduction, I'll just

tl;dr: "free will". There's this picture floating around the net these days: It's presented in the positive light, like replacing social consensus with technical consensus is a worthy goal, something to

While working on something (a project named Equinox, in fact. Stay tuned.), I needed to re-think why a blockchain solution is needed at all, and to figure out how to actively use the strengths of a blockchain

As I've written before, everyone who had the interest and the opportunity to buy cryptocurrencies has done so. And since most people's first (& only) experience with cryptos was the last year's pump

It's fair to say the cryptocurrency community has an idea going which is present since the very beginnings (indeed in the Bitcoin's Genesis block), that the cryptocurrencies are here to, in some way, liberate

Basically, everyone who wanted to get Bitcoin (and / or other cryptocurrencies) has already bought it. The cat's out of the bag, everyone and their hairdresser have discussed Bitcoin and in the current

Where to learn about blockchain development Blockchains are a popular topic, hot both for developers and for businesses trying to integrate or adapt the technology to their specific needs. At the same

For some time now, I've been working on Daisy, a proof-of-authority where blocks are SQLite databases. I think this is a good approach for applications which would benefit from the blockchain structure
