[Fiware-lab-help] Blockchain generic enabler

[Thomas Kemmere | Greenlight Consultancy]

Dear Madam Sir,

I joined Fi-lab in order to find out whether there is an enabler, that 
facilitates the basic process of the "Blockchain".

As your technicians probably are aware of, the Blockchain is the 
underlying technology that can contain _distributed public registers_. 
It has the great advantage that every person can trust the 
blockchain-system, while no person has to trust any other person.

For example, Bitcoin is running on a blockchain. The register functions 
as a public peer-to-peer distributed ledger of who holds howmany 
bitcoins (In fact it holds all transfers ever made, so it can be deduced 
who holds how many). Hundreds of other crypto currencies run on hundreds 
of other blockchains.

Now, crypto currencies are nice, but the blockchain can be used for many 
other purposes. Since it is a distributed piece of software that holds a 
reliable public record of something, you can imagine that it could also 
be used for elections; for passports; chamber of commerce registers; 
birth certificates; house- and plot registers etc etc.

I have a plan that I wish to apply with, to one of the Fiware 
accelerators (Probably INCENSe), and I would need there to be a 
blokchain-GE. Do you have plans to develop one? Is this subject further 
discussable? Or would you suggest to not count it, in the light of the 
fact that INCENSe will only grant funding to applications that have a 
launchdate within 6 months?

Thanks very much in advance for your response.

Kird regards,
Thomas Kemmere
