Rustat Report on Blockchain published - 25 November 2016
The report from the September 2016 Rustat Conference on Blockchain - Beyond Bitcoin is now published on the Rustat website.
Blockchain is the technology that underpins bitcoin. It is a public ledger of all bitcoin
transactions, visible to all and distributed among thousands of computers over the world. It
is a computational proof of the chronological order of transactions, secure against attack as
long as honest nodes collectively control more computational power than any cooperating
group of attacker nodes.
Blockchain is also a new data structure, whose impact is expected to be far greater than that
of bitcoin alone. Its potential applications include programmatic loans, bonds and payments;
more efficient supply chains, and even identity management and verification. It is an
emerging way for businesses, industries and public organisations to make and verify
transactions and it is the cornerstone for enabling the next trillion devices to communicate
and transact.
Its impact is likely to be a more open, transparent and publicly verifiable system that will
fundamentally change the way we think about exchanging assets, enforcing contracts and
sharing data across industries.
