#2This MS Paint stuff needs to become a thing to explain complex concepts like this
Re: Blockchain, with Santa Claus, in shameless MS Paint
#3I guess the purpose is satirical, but it's an awfully complicated explanation. I guess it can be understood only by people who already know how a blockchain works.

I agree.

Isn't it already? You posted your comment on a post that links to a page that uses 'This MS Paint stuff' to explain concepts like 'this', where the first 'This' refers to this specific incarnation of 'MS Paint stuff' and the second 'this' refers to blockchains.
This is all very meta.

#8For anyone that's curious, the first set of runes is Futhark, and transliterate to:
>"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die"
The second and third are Enochian and transliterate to:
>"There is no sanity clause" and "Madness is the emergency exit"
respectively.

#9We build a web application for companies to keep track of their CO2 Emissions and some other key performance indicators and assessments. Yesterday our boss called one of my colleagues and said:
"A customer of ours suggested that we use blockchains to improve the security of our application. What do you guys think?"
It is probably the equivalent of saying you use scrum and are oh so very agile. "We use blockchains for added security". What this would look like is then left up to the imagination of the person confronted with this phrase.

#10Sorry but this comic is neither simple nor accurate.
Firstly, recording the account of sahti is the only function of the ledger, which supposedly is a subset of a record of everyone's deeds' including the elves. Secondly then, fee analysis has shown that blockchains are a poor store of data and should not be used as a database since other mechanisms are far more efficient and cheaper.
