Still looking for a single valid use case for blockchain. Extra credit if you can’t do it using signed git commits. For me blockchain is the epitome of what @JerryWeinberg calls “solutioneerihg”.

Seems a bad use-case. Sometimes land ownership is transferred by the owner, sometimes by a court order, sometimes by probate.

I recently sold and bought a house. The number of steps and parties (buyer, seller, banks, tax authorities, government agencies) involved, and the reliance on a very expensive trusted intermediary (the notary) make this a perfect use case IMO

I would say it’s a perfect use case for massively simplifying the process! There was a lovely @PrivateEyeNews cartoon a few years ago with the title “In the days before estate agents”. Two people were talking: - “Would you like to buy my house?” - “Yes!”

Sounds like there are a lot of parties involved that could be trusted to set up a centralized database to solve the problem.

but if you're convicted of buying that house with money you stole from the local hospital, how does the State give the house to the hospital?
