yeah, I think this is where the thought appeal lies. maybe in the home, but more likely in industrial, smart cities, and other such applications: nodes wanting to reconfigure themselves to adapt to situations that matter - where power is sent to, how transportation units are routed, etc. It's a problem if this reconfiguration happens at the behest of bad actors, and "blockchain solves that" conceptually, by making it really difficult for such bad actors to gain the credibility to make those changes. But I'm not that convinced that the technologies of distributed consensus-making that are in play today are anything those in control of such "valuable" resources are ready to give up their control over. Call me a skeptic. _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
