Hello
Christian, I
am look to blockchain concept (of Bitcoin). "Thus,
while they enable a whole new set of possibilities,
blockchain-based
applications also present legal, technical, and social challenges
similar to those
raised by other P2P applications that came before them, such as
BitTorrent,
Tor, or Freenet. But some of these challenges haven’t been seen
before in
the context of traditional P2P networks." "As
such, the
bitcoin platform (or blockchain) allows for the deployment of
decentralized
applications that combine the benefits of cloud computing — in
terms of
ubiquity and elasticity — with the benefits of P2P technologies
in terms of privacy
and anonymity. Even though the blockchain is inherently
transparent (as every
transaction is recorded on a public ledger), users can have
multiple
identities that don’t necessarily relate to their real persona." Blockchain-based
applications
can therefore address user’s privacy through anonymity. Is
there
integration of blockchain (concept) and gnunet possible/useful? Greetings Jan Marco |
