At least the author isn’t saying “implement your own ~scam~ cryptocurrency!” I mean, there is potentially a legitimate use for a blockchain besides funny money or being a poor imitation to pre-existing technologies.
Exactly. The book description doesn’t even mention cryptocurrencies, so it seems to be about blockchains in more general terms. About uses of blockchains, think of a Git repository, which uses hashes over previous contents to record the commit history. (Though I don’t know if there are specific criteria for the term “blockchain” that would prevent a Git revision history from qualifying as a blockchain.)
You’d rather it uses less efficient libs with a larger carbon footprint? :yum: :yum::yum:
