@alexhern not decentralised, no. but there are examples of blockchain stuff interacting with the real world. the story about the chicken farming in Xiaowei Wang's Blockchain Chicken Farm comes to mind (it's good generally, and also generally not about blockchain. but that bit is)Permalink Look on archive.org
Mood +2 🙂

@alexhern it is basically end to end system for tracking metadata in the chickens as they're raised, slaughtered and sold. via little tags that relate to a database that also has some blockchain stuff on it. China has a problem with food safety & authenticity, so there's demand for it.Permalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern does the blockchain actually solve any problems within that system? not really. is it widespread as a system? also not really. but it is a physical good sold with a blockchain thing involved, and you could reasonably insure bits of it.Look on archive.org
