The salary is for one month or one year?

Lol. That really cuts to the heart of it.

For swimming in piles of crypto cash and being on the bleeding edge, these cats sure are skinny on the market rate for something super hard with a high expertise requirement coming from a limited pool.

What a joke.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Most Blockchain projects heading for actual production aren’t decentralized though. Maersk may be heading toward running container ownership claims on Blockchain tech, but they will be in full control of the network and the deciding nodes.

Honest question for someone more knowledgeable about the subject than myself: if you are not decentralized (in the authority sense), why would you pick a blockchain-based solution instead of a more traditional distributed database? Sometimes it looks like people throw blockchain in a project not on technical merits but because they think the buzzword is a VC magnet.

Well it has a few advantages like allowing trusted partners easier secure access, Maersk might not be the only party with deciding nodes, they just won’t trust you or me to run one. It also offers an easy way of offering global access through public nodes.

So.. you mean developing and using a really shitty, slow and expensive database cluster?

Efficiency isn’t the purpose, safety and anti corruption is.

You’d need to hack the majority of the nodes to alter the data which isn’t going to happen unless a government wants to steal a container.

It doesn’t matter that it’s expensive either. It currently costs more to transfer the claims papers than it costs to ship the actual container, so the cost-benefit is easily obtainable.
