RE: OpenOrchard Update on Koinos + ODESI

in OpenOrchard4 years ago (edited)

Most of the blockchains developed in the past were rushed into existence. As with anything that is rushed, you tend to have foresight after the fact (all of the stuff you forgot about). You realize that you were missing features that you didn't know you needed. This isnt just a blockchain issue, its a fact of life for engineers in general.

We now know that a blockchain is just one part of a decentralized network and in order to further a decentralized network, you'll need tools. It seems like ODESI can be described as a set of tools. @andarchy said it best in this case. The first set of prebuilt tools that ODESI will create is "authentication" and "encrypted messaging".

This means that when ODESI goes live, the first thing you'll be able to do is log in and chat. And anyone who wants to leverage ODESI will be able to use those same tools to create an app that you can log into and chat. Expect it will be able to seamlessly connect to a blockchain.

I could imagine creating an app where its a simple chat program that uses ODESI "auth" to allow users to log in, and "encrypmsg" to create a secure method of chating and have all the text posted to a blockchain and the only way to access it is to have a superuser key. You know its secure and you know that the contents will be forever secured no matter if you lose your device or not. Well lets mutate this a few time and let the dices roll to see where we can go from there.

Developers gonna develop.

Thank you for the clarification but the market is saturated with new blockchains. Maybe I am wrong but I don't see the potential and value on this solution.

There are a lot of blockchains but that doesnt quite mattter. A blockchain is only as good as the environment it runs in. Ethereum is a good example. The blockchain that ETH uses is nothing special by todays standards. But the whole of the ethereum network is quite massive.

There were many smartphones before the iPhone. People didn't see the need for the iPhone either when it was first released.

I don't judge your vision, it is just I don't see the value in the current stage. I wish you big success in your company to bring this baby to something the market will use.

Thanks, appreciate the positive wish.

I mean it would be good for hive if hive could be a layer ontop

It is something to follow and see the evolution of this project. Hive is young and will improve with new tools and projects that will pop in the ecosystem.

Couldn't have put it better myself

A great way to describe it ( a foresighted project ). It is just a side chain I would say for the main blockchain. But still building another blockchain to store all my encrypted messages sounds ridiculous. It's permanent and open for all kind of cyber attacks.. You don't really need blockchain just to store your chat. Or perhaps you guys can leave an option to permanently remove a particular data from blockchain?
