@adamdavidlong @JDMirkovic @NelsonMRosario You're more or less just summarizing what I pointed out a couple of months ago. And I didn't say "property records are a waste of time". I said [almost all] title records are out of scope for blockchain deployment.

Since we've been discussion Malthus, Ricardo, and land title registries, here's a few problems with moving such a registry on a blockchain. @trialsanderrors/blockchains-as-title-registries-632218b2e64d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@trialsanderro…

This week's #blockchainlawclass starts off with @JDMirkovic talking about the importance of land records to our economy 1/
English
@oliverbeige @adamdavidlong @NelsonMRosario Well, the Straw Man you created in this debate does not accurately reflect anything anyone said today. Also, not sure why you have to make this about national origin.
English
@adamdavidlong @JDMirkovic @NelsonMRosario When I defined edge cases I usually do that for the benefit of Americans who have this problem with things that aren't by nature dichotomous. Why? I blame multiple choice testing.
English
@oliverbeige @NelsonMRosario I've never called any of this a means to a single truth, ever. I've simply called it a better way to keep govt records. I've taken a lot of flak for this idea. Again, I've never claimed a parcel of land can be administered w/o humans + govt authority
English
@JDMirkovic @NelsonMRosario The "single truth without a single source" scenario simply doesn't exist for land. And that even ignores all the other problems properties with fuzzy boundaries pose.
English
@oliverbeige @JDMirkovic @NelsonMRosario 1/ Also, none of these are binary, and the question is, would a DLT be better than the status quo. Whether you can “trust” teh authority is not a yes or no question. Maybe they are pretty corrupt but will tend to be less corrupt if there is a DLT showing who is supposed to own
English
@oliverbeige @BrianG416 @NelsonMRosario I think we can agree that DLT is better than paper/client-server, not better than a 40 foot wall and a small militia
English
@BrianG416 @NelsonMRosario @JDMirkovic If you have to resort to a trusted external party, you just defeated the reason to deploy a blockchain. A blockchain isn't just a shared event log, it is a shared event log that hinges on all parties converging to an externally valid state in real time, sans hierarchy.
English
@oliverbeige @BrianG416 @NelsonMRosario There aren't many ways to own property outside the authority of govt. Bitcoin is (maybe) one, but they can turn off the internet. Tech Myths sometimes crash hard against reality
English
@oliverbeige @NelsonMRosario There is not much computer code more powerful than an army. Land ownership will probably never supersede the authority of the government that controls the territory. If that doesn't make sense then I misunderstood your question,
English
@JDMirkovic @NelsonMRosario That's interesting but not really an answer.
English
@oliverbeige @NelsonMRosario If one lives in a country where land is seized regardless of ownership, that is a political problem. However, land records were used to defeat Shining Path. Social Technology works in unpredictable ways
English
@NelsonMRosario @JDMirkovic Question I got in Nairobi on land records on a blockchain: What is the benefit of blockchain if the guarantor of property rights is itself not to be trusted?
English
@michaelfairley @davidcrespo Thanks gentleman, appreciate the lesson and you letting me know
English
@davidcrespo @JDMirkovic Yep, ditto to everything @davidcrespo said. (I've deleted my tweet that contained your SSN's hash as well.)
Very cool service + writeup by the way!

this is actually kinda neat. my favorite part is the author including the SHA256 of his SSN to prove he believes in cryptography

Biologists Richard Dawkins / Bret Weinstein are meeting for the 1st time in Chicago. This match-up has been decades overdue.
If you're lucky enough to be there for this, I hope you've the chance to see something historic, and will consider live-tweeting for the rest of us.
Thx!

@allieevolpe @Medium I think the number of times the word "I" appears in the first two paragraphs (11) is probably a better clue as to why you are always late. Interesting perspective, however
