Re: Blockchain instead of a server
You've reminded me of the running joke in Interesting Times, where in the China-analog of the novel, all records are kept by scribes highly-trained in poetic calligraphy. This leads to issues such as, for example, the minute-taking for a meeting actually taking hours ("..How far have you got?" he asked. The eunuch coughed politely. "How softly the bloom of the apric..." he began. "Yes, yes, yes" said Lord Hong. "Could we on this occasion dispense with the poetic framework please...")
Perhaps this blockchain initiative is the CCP hankering for a high-tech equivalent to exquisitely rendered calligraphic record-keeping?
