As far as I'm aware blockchains do not store any secret data. It could store encrypted data certainly, but you don't need a fancy blockchain for that - just stick the encrypted file on a USB drive. The problem in both cases becomes somehow conditionally releasing the key, which isn't perfectly achievable, and to the degree that it is possible requires significant hardware support. -- Rich ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
