Currently, the IBM Blockchain Design Team is designing anything from supply chain flows to documentation, from open source developer tools to blockchain as a service. It’s the nature of the industry now: a mad dash to explore all possible applications of a technology with the potential to vastly reduce cost and inefficiency in areas like finance, healthcare, and government.

Despite designing in so many different directions, there are common themes in our users’ needs that have informed our design principles as a team. This is the IBM Blockchain Design Team’s first iteration of these principles—what we focus on when critiquing work and prioritizing design decisions.

“Just because blockchain technology is built to eliminate the reliance on trust doesn’t mean users will trust the machine or network.”
— Jonny Howle, UX/UI Designer

This is very important topic for every user and especially developers in the community.

What will be the next solutions you can see as developer to make usage for a regular user more comfortable and more "humane"?

What solutions can't be done because of engineering restrictions today?

It would be interesting to discuss with professionals as well as just blockchain's enthusiasts because together we can have better understanding what we all want to do in the future.

The community is divided and anyone not singing from the bit-coin song sheets about a mash up of a
linked list and SHA256 taken from Bit-Torrent is treated like a bit of a freak here and chased away.

More important than the block-chain data structure is the block ledger "(c) me" not that it's such a big deal
but key to moving forwards is making the block-chain work using DNA and not just having replication like
the fudge up we have just now.
