more on blockchain
Plutchak, T Scott
Here’s another very interesting piece on the blockchain technology. Most eye-popping to me are the stats on the power consumption required. There’s also more info than in the NYT Magazine article about ways the technology is being used now and the amount of venture capital being invested in various applications.
