Timely article - Polygon is what we've used for our blockchain verified resume https://www.rezi.ai/rezi-blockchain-verified-resume

What does this protect against? Nothing too bad has happened to me so far with my non-blockchain PDFs. From the site copy it seems to say I can just verify that it was uploaded at a certain time. Why does that matter?

Timely article - Polygon is what we've used for our blockchain verified resume https://www.rezi.ai/rezi-blockchain-verified-resume

I would like to understand more about your product. Does it ensure the accuracy of your resume? I.e that you really did work for Google since 2020? Or is it more to simply ensure that the content has not changed. But if so, who cares if your resume has changed?

> What is a Blockchain Verified Resume?

> When the owner of a resume decides to create a blockchain resume, Rezi makes an encrypted record of: issuer, recipient, resume, date of creation. These pieces of data are encrypted right onto the blockchain. This means that every blockchain resume is incredibly secure.

Secure from what?

This is the first step we've taken towards the bigger goal of ensuring truthfulness of the experiences on the resume.

But for now, it does two things - ensures the resume has not been altered since created (think recruiter's incentives to do so) and serves as a promise from the job seeker that the resume is truthful.

We're just launching, so let's see how it evolves over time

I don't really get why we have a thousand coins trying to solve the same problem that Bitcoin Cash solved in 2017. (Or, in 2009, if you accept that BCH is the same formula as original Bitcoin, and that it is Bitcoin Core that changed its design. They share the same history.) If you want cheap transactions, for actual cash-like usage rather than a "settlement layer", you need big blocks. It is not rocket science.

Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash's scripting capabilities aren't comparable to Ethereum's smart contracts. Making Ethereum transactions cheaper is a different and more complex problem.

I'm not referring to Ethereum, I'm talking about the "layer 2" coins described in the article or, more specifically, what they are used for.

Why use L2 when one can have a better experience with much lower fees (Solana, Avalance, Flow & Near). The new generation Blockchains like Solana and Avalance are far better than Ethereum. They are going throgh some growing pains, other wise, they beat Ethereum to dust in terms of speed, latency and performance. Solana takes a second to confirm a transaction, with 0.00025$ fees and can support more than 100,000 tx/s. While Ethereum take a minute to confirm a transaction and cost about 100$ and can only process about 15 tx/s. Also, Ethereum is about 1000 times more energy hungry than Solana.

How often do recruiters actually modify your PDF resume after you submit it? Why would they do that when the company can just verify its contents on LinkedIn? Do you actually have any kind of data on this?

And if you're actually worried about rogue recruiters modifying your resume after you make it, why would you not sign your PDF?

>serves as a promise from the job seeker that the resume is truthful.

Because it's on the blockchain it's not bullshit?

This is quite honestly one of the dumber product pitches I have heard in a while. It sounds like you just pulled a word out of the hat to figure out what to blockchainify next.

Doesn't this just make on-boarding users even more convoluted? You'll have to probably get a large amount of Ether and then 'commit' it to another L2 to receive whatever their backed token equivalent is. Then you'll use this token to pay for things which will have no network effect, apps, or merchants in the beginning. Basically all adoption goes back to square one while providing a confusing and worse user-experience for everyone. How are wallets supposed to explain this shit to users?
