Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ? in c/[email protected]

So I have two questions about this:

  • Why use blockchain for that? Both of these sound like they will be centralized databases and blockchains just add a bunch of overhead for no benefit.
  • How does a database prevent me from ... just lying to it? The blockchain won't magically detect if I paid off some guy to claim he inspected my house or weed and just hand out a certificate.

Thanks for hosting us, my question is directly related: What kind of hardware do you use for hosting the instance? Is it local or in some cloud? Where do you think lemmys biggest issues will be when it comes to scaling?
