Title: Blockchain securing Nuclear Power Plants! Post by: Blawpaw on January 06, 2016, 04:03:32 PM I recently found an article on Coinfox saying that there is a company that is commited to introduce the blockchain technology as a new way of securing Nuclear Power Plants.

All blockchains are private. And since this would be sensitive information, you would not want the data to be available to anyone. Besides, people should not use BTC's blockchain for things it wasn't designed for. There's been one guy who registered the birth of his kid on the blockchain, another one who used it for his marriage... Hey come on, this has to stop! If everyone starts using the blockchain to store his personal info, BTC is doomed. Title: Re: Blockchain securing Nuclear Power Plants!

Now, what the article mentions is a company that is working on distributed networks and developing their own blockchain to be used for security, data integrity and management. even though it is a distributed application similar in principle to the blockchain, This is a private blockchain we are talking about. Besides there's a clear distinction between guardtime proposed blockchain and the regular blockchain! Title: Re: Blockchain securing Nuclear Power Plants!

I see it more as a private company, which is publicly traded with anyone able to buy shares, in that case, get the proper equipment and become a miner. The world mobile phone network isn't public either, even though everybody can buy a phone and make calls. Title: Re: Blockchain securing Nuclear Power Plants!
