Joking aside, some cool things have been made with blockchain, like Certificate Transparency. #devdiscuss

Is blockchain a technical domain that interests you? Why or why not? #devdiscuss

celo_fett Jun 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Absolutely. I want to apply it to the dairy industry! #devdiscuss

What are the gains of using blockchain technology instead a normal DB like MySQL? #DevDiscuss

impwalker77 Jun 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Yes, because I have literally no idea what it is. Have only seen it mentioned in passing. #devdiscuss

How so, can you expand on this? #DevDiscuss

Fallenstedt Jun 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Hell yeah! It's different approach to data mgmt, but I can't get behind it being "immutable". ie. #ethereum and Ethereum Classic #DevDiscuss

Blockchain is a topic covered well on @software_daily, like this episode https://t.co/SBBMCgUWHw #devdiscuss

Fallenstedt Jun 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I guess you can think of it as a distributed database instead of a central DB. #devdiscuss

pvomelveny Jun 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#DevDiscuss oh so weird, I just printed off some blockchain white papers to finally read

garysieling Jun 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I'm interested in the distributed database side of whatever blockchain is #devdiscuss

arthursmith Jun 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#devdiscuss doesn't blockchain depend on huge CPU cost to work? I don't see how it helps practical work.

j_larrieux Jun 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#devdiscuss very much interested not only for the new frontier cryptographically secure transactions (value, trust)..

In reply to @ThePracticalDev

bendhalpern Jun 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Pure finance/monetary/trading/etc. is less interesting to me. So convos around bitcoin can put me to sleep sometimes. 😴😴😴 #devdiscuss

j_larrieux Jun 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#DevDiscuss but also the ability to provide a financial gains to the middle class and the unbanked

In reply to @ThePracticalDev

bendhalpern Jun 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Other applications (which are infinite) around validation/verification/version control, are much more interesting to me #DevDiscuss

garysieling Jun 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

People have been requesting I find good talks on Bitcoin / cryptocurrency for FindLectures (https://t.co/rC9jpGOC97) #devdiscuss

@leashless please take a look at #devdiscuss for tonight, the topic is #blockchain, lots of developers noob to this space

sjohnson540 Jun 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

The tech is interesting for specific use cases. Hype of it being the end all be all of public immutable datastore is overblown #devdiscuss

dangolant Jun 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

At core I think what's interesting about blockchain (and why it attracts so many libertarians) is it dissolves power structures #devdiscuss

In reply to @bendhalpern

bendhalpern Jun 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Is it though? Seems like just one (very important) application of the tech. #DevDiscuss

In reply to @dangolant

neozinho Jun 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I forgot to mention that I was thinking in a private blockchain (like one if one bank would do). #DevDiscuss

In reply to @Fallenstedt, @ThePracticalDev

AntonFrattaroli Jun 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Interesting in theory. Takes a certain kind of person to bring the implementation to the table for a certain business space #devdiscuss

Then again I am also very surface-level on the space so I may be totally wrong #DevDiscuss sorry keep forgetting the tag

#devdiscuss right now (or very soon) there are android and ios ethereum light client. See @ethstatus project

Would you say you know how blockchain technology works? #devdiscuss

Fallenstedt Jun 13 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Oh snap forgot my #DevDiscuss

Jaxidian Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I was just doing some research on this today. I thought I understood the basics but I'm doubting that stance now. Cool shit! #DevDiscuss

celo_fett Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I have a realllllly high level understanding of how it generally works. Gritty details are way over my head 😔 #devdiscuss

In reply to @ThePracticalDev

pvomelveny Jun 13 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Not on a useful level at this point. Getting difficult to judge all the claims people are making w/out a better understanding #devdiscuss

In reply to @ThePracticalDev

j_larrieux Jun 13 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#devdiscuss on a "popular science" kind of way, I can explain the concept since I've been following since 2014

#devdiscuss light client is only half the problem - you still need servers doing heavy computations - or (1/2)

#devdiscuss For everyone who's answering no to this question: I recommend starting with this great primer https://t.co/Ijg7BzBJUH

Take this for example, implementation requires deep knowledge of insurance claims as well as blockchain: https://t.co/JphX3TGEX8 #devdiscuss

#devdiscuss else your chain can be attacked by somebody with more CPU power, no? (2/2)

#devdiscuss yeah block chain is super cool. Everyone go buy ethereum. Trust me I'm an expert 🤣🤣🤣

In the last ten minutes of #DevDiscuss, anybody want to give a shoutout to anything they're working on or tell us about anything at all?

Blockchain technology rules. I was able to pay off the remaining balance on my student loans with a small investment. #devdiscuss
