I am not interested in collectibles, I am talking about something much more interesting and practical. But to entirely dismiss the category because you are only privy to slow & exp…

The press release was the first one that came up in my search that explained things clearly enough for the uninitiated. There are many other articles elsewhere covering these thing…

- The instantaneous transfer of value between two parties, without an intermediary. - The ability to publicly and immediately prove ownership (chain of provenance) to a third party…

Just like the market for tablets before the iPad and the market for smartwatches before the Apple Watch?

The way Datomic handles facts, accumulating them and providing point-in-time queries, is very effective. Facts can contradict each other. Old facts are not lost. Querying requires …

No, today we have servers with some form of leader or centralised point of failure. With a properly decentralised network any node can be taken down without taking down the entire …
