PR Coup? Russia Wields Blockchain for Good
September 7, 2018
We think is the most interesting use of blockchain yet. Crypto-currency news site BitNovosti reports, “Siberian Federal University Suggests Using Blockchain for Making Fair Waiting Lists for Kindergartens.” The article tells us:
“The existing technologies used for creating waiting lists for kindergartens do not provide full protection against data distortion when it comes to listing order, time of registration, etc. But blockchain guarantees the immutability of sequence of names in waiting lists. The blockchain technology precludes the possibility of adding false data blocks or removing any blocks already in the chain, as these procedures would be easily traceable within the system. Neither one can add any unjustified data elements to the structure, nor remove any data elements which it already incorporates. All sorts of unauthorized interference with the system are completely ruled out, as all the wrongdoings aimed at bringing in changes to the database are preventable by means of comparing them with other copies of the same blockchain stored by other participants in the system. The technology does not presuppose any central server, as databases are distributed between all the system’s users. Thus, a blockchain-based system is absolutely transparent, whereas the insertion of new information into it is impossible without the users’ consensus.”
This is one in a series of projects in Russia that have embraced the use of blockchain technology to benefit society. Other uses include managing social-services payments and plans for patient control over medical records. More applications are being planned in areas like education, charity, and adoption.
