So ur thinking web development. What part the splash page stuff or interactive data management?

actually im probably gonna do both

they usually separate it into front end and back end services

but the front end is like emphasis on languages and the back end is a little more emphasis on analytics and networking

my daughter has 2 degrees in computer science and informatics. She's liking it but wants to do more of the analytics too. I try to push her into security (blockchain)

we'll see😂

yes. the blockchain is taking markets by storm. many people are deciding to use a blockchain for accounting rather than rely on a bank.

right, lots of opportunities that people are not looking at for blockchain as an enabling technology

the blockchain is also a very strong tool for just data management. large companies like IBM are using it to secure their intellectual property.

that is what I mean....it enables many more things than people have thought of yet. still very much emerging.

Still don’t fully trust or understand blockchain

blockchain is just an encryption system

its literally a chain of "blocks" or transactions

just means you have to maintain the whole record "chain" in order to update it

bitcoin uses a hashing algorithm which is just a really large math problem that forces computers to solve it before you can update the next block.

other "blockchains" can be made with other rules but its just a general idea

it prevents people from counterfitting electronic money by forcing everyone to keep the same record instead of double spending money or making a transaction and backing out etc

Hi @Kitty

Hi @Groot I love your name.

tks @Kitty

So did u understand @ZiggenVox explaination @Kitty?

@Kitty do u want to trust blockchain?

I still wonder what good that (blockchain) will do in the event of an (H)EMP

well the blockchain itself is just a piece of software that every computer running it has a copy of

so you would have to EMP every bitcoin user on the planet at the same time

Right...

its basically indistructable

and we already have many emp shielded devices that would not lose their data

EMP affects hardware.. overloads. So hardware can be repaired .. the blockchain can still be resident on the computer it just can't go anyhere.

Okay, one would still need access to electricity and internet, still seems problematic when shtf situation is in play

until hardware is repaired

well a persons individual access to a network that has the data might be hindered

but as soon as you gain access all you need is your 12 keywords and you can recover all the data

there are already sat networks being put up for bitcoin

it would take an unreasonable amount of effort to take it down

right. the ditributed network is the key to continued operations outside of emp. like cloud or vpn computing. you want to know what computers can mirror the blockchain to revive it.

I joined a blockchain a fee years ago, I can’t get anything out of it. It was One Coin, a person I once looked up to for his business sense had gotten me into it. Now it appears to be locked down as a scam.

well something like 90% of the blockchains are literally just a copy of the exact software used for bitcoin

was it an alt coin or bitcoin?

because bitcoin is totally open source

many people copy it and try to change the rules to get rich
