<div dir="ltr">Hi John, <div>Just a clarification. A distributed Ledger is a set of nodes distributed geographically and operating independently using an agreed protocol. The protocol is designed to verify certain data and ensure that it is synchronized. Blockchain is one form of a distributed Ledger that utilizes either proof of work or Proof of stake. Bitcoin for instance utilizes the proof of work protocol and nodes compete to solve a complex puzzle by hashing the previous block in the current transaction. Proof of stake means you have more voting power based on how much you have and it is believed that you cannot compromise the network because you have a stake in it. </div><div>Please note also that Cryptocurrency is the product of some Distributed Ledger systems as an incentive for the independent members to run the nodes. It is possible to run a distributed system without Cryptocurrency in a controlled environment or with certain contracts. There are protocols like hyperledger and Hashgraph which examples of distributed ledger protocols outside of the crypto world. They can be used in the supply chain world to link regulators and manufacturers. </div><div>The opportunity in DLT is so huge. It is limitless. </div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 3:42 PM, mauxdatabase via kictanet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ali,</div><div><br></div>The problem is definitions have gotten muddled up by the wave(s) of blockchain hype.<div><br></div><div>The original definition of Blockchain contains these key components are married to each other.</div><div><ul><li>Protocol; Consensus rules for how Blockchains/Crypto-currencies work.

The truth however that it is still a fairly nascent technology and we have just began to explore it's possibilities. From a policy perspective, there will need to be a purposeful interrogation of the the interplay between the tokens/cryptos the blockchain platforms that come with it especially in public service use cases.
