A real world example for LINK
-
So I was taking a shower and the realization for how useful LINK really is hit me like a ton of bricks. Dangerous when it happened too since I was in the shower, but isn’t that how the flux capacitor was invented? Okay okay all joking aside.
LINK, what can be placed there i thought. It’s the most amazing innovation since crypto currency itself. Well you store information in there right? Here’s a list of examples of the kind of information that can be stored:
Parts lists (everything from automobiles to Zamboni’s)
Computer specs and driver downloads
Repair manuals
Recipe books
newspaper and magazine archival
old world texts (scanned and cleaned)
genealogy
… the list goes on and on.I just finished repairing a computer for my local auto garage. Their hard drive was going into failure so I cloned it. They had all kinds of the obvious software, parts lists and whatnot. Put this info in the block chain, all of it.
Just a thought.

Very close. It happened when he slipped and hit his head on the sink while standing on a toilet, hanging a clock.

I was thinking about this at work (a large scale bakery foods goods retailer with over 1600 shops)
Essentially what we talk about needing is distributed data amongst all the shops containing products to sell prices and any promotions etc. And also we need all sales recorded and stored and essentially accessed from the centre for reporting etc.
I think using an internal private blockchain with link could be the answer. Every sale is a transaction in a block and we can decide what info each shop saves as not every shop would need every transaction but would likely need products and prices etc. So data distribution and collection is sorted as is backup and fail over. Its fricking genious this link stuff.

Very funny guys. :D
But all joking aside, there needs to be a real world app to take advantage of this tech.

[/quote]Yeah something like that.

I still have no idea why using the blockchain to store things other than the ledger is a good thing.

Well with a standard database synchronising hundreds of instances is a pain in the bum usually requiring a message queue or something. I’m don’t think this should be used on our block chain as its too much data but the power is undisputable.
