Jerry, I'm interested, so please share, off list or on. Richard, think Delta Airlines outage. Blockchains don't just give you distributed storage, they give you distributed trust. Being cheap, I turned dropbox, and google spreadsheets, and Box, and a couple of other services into online data repositories, i.e. crude DBMS's, because I can do it on the cheap. But what if one or all of those go down? What if my pipe goes down? If I have my mobiles on the same network, and a blockchain, maybe I don't even need a central server. If I have a blockchain, maybe a cell phone that is on my network can be communicating with the outside world when the wifi or wired-only devices can't.
