Blockchain Transactions. Neither a Mainframe nor a Cloud Service are good enough. Something Entirely New is Required.

Mainframes were and still are good for business transaction scale

Cloud services for web transaction scale (HTTP)

Blockchain is a new paradigm for transactions.

Neither if these past two historic iterations of transaction processing systems are adequate for blockchain services.

Because they were designed to perform optimally for their own time and place using that technology.

Blockchain requires a node service to process transactions which eventually are sent to nodes (miners) to order into time stamped blocks.

These transactions could use HTTP still. And indeed the best scaling form of this older standard so far is something called Teranode.

But is there a more optimal solution?

Of course there is. It's just not been engineered for yet.

This new transaction paradigm would be innovation by virtue of it shifting to a completely new model of processing transactions.

What will this look like? Firstly it would need to be able process transactions at a higher scale than mainframes which would not be hard. Beyond that it needs more scale than even a cloud services front end using load balancing, ingress devices etc.

The innovations would driven by the new ideas which deliver this scaling with ease. Cloud services has always been a bit of a budget up. Mashing together low quality transactions services into a scaled out solution with say kubernetes and so on. Less than ideal. Sure, it works. But it was never really innovative because it merely stacks up low quality services at a high scale.

What will Blockchain tech need to invent to make the new transaction scaling paradigm truly innovative?

I'm all ears.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
