RE: How Authentic Is The History We Are Taught In School?

in #history7 years ago

To your question;

Do you think Blockchain could help with this?

It depends. If all the people involved in a historic event could, and would, take the time to document on the blockchain their understanding of what happened, it may facilitate the closest thing to a true written history. A decentralized, immutable blockchain with equal access to all people would at least be resistant to censorship and allow all perspectives of the event be recorded.

Sort:  

It would be interesting to have more levels of historical keeping on the blockchain.

Maybe some sort of proof of participation, to be able to record an event.

Or maybe a "proof of non-stake" (i just came up with that), where a story is more credible if submitted by someone that has nothing to gain from that context

Or a consensus level. The possibilities seem to be unlimited :).

Do you think such a blockchain can be possible, regardless of the architecture?

It's a very interesting idea. A proof-of-witness (POW) to an event. It would have to be a level playing field for all participants and have a simple way to compile the data into a consensus that gave a clear picture of events from all perspectives.

Yep, this would be fantastic :)

Does anyone have an idea if this technology is developed by a team somewhere?
