I'd look a bit deeper if you feel this way.nzjrs wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 18:56This barely makes any sense. If you want to have the entire software chain 'block-chained' then go ahead and write on-chain verifiable equivalents of every software package used by F1 teams in the sequence of steps in creating a part for the weekend.Zynerji wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 18:35My point was to blockchain the entire software chain, with each team and the FIA running Full nodes. That guarantees all design models, sim data, correlation data, etc is is captured and encrypted to the ledger. Then, any component that a team wants to run on a weekend gets moved to a Media Access portal. The Media then pays a yearly licensing fee to access this data to generate revenue by writing articles and driving traffic and interest to F1.
This fixes lots and lots of F1 issues if you think deeply how this would self-govern rhe Sport and lower costs in F1 by an enormous amount. Crowdsourcing computational capacity from fans running lite nodes on their PC's as well as having a market for merchandise.
To everyone else casually browsing the blockchain, it looks no different than a current web page. I think the only pushback only comes.from those that have a preconceived bias against blockchain Tokens, as they completely ignore the fact that it really is just a distributed computer.
In lieu of that then all you have is a distributed file store because the value add is computed is off-chain and the assets then stored on chain. Yay wow its a distributed computer but compute is offchain. Well cool I guess, but you have now made a modern encrypted ftp server with history and a cumbersome access model.
I understand what you want to be able to do, but it fits neither into the existing BC models of digital provenance because the compute steps between the provenance is the value, its not NFT like, its not even really shared state if you cant verify it (see compute off chain). Maybe you could shoehorn it into a zero-knowledge kind of design in order to accomodate off-chain compute and have people peer verify, but its again a mismatch because everyone needs to share the sofware.
Sorry, but it's a bunch of buzzwords as you have described it. The competitive nature means the off-chain compute between all teams will diverge in the persuit of victory, and if you strip away the compute and just have the state then you just have a cumbersome dropbox.
There is a company in the US that is currently doing this (on my recommendation) from design/R&D to production, shipping, inventory management and sales. Their retail locations run nodes on their POS terminals that are an open state machine as well as their main office in Chicago. With the difficulty setting reasonably low (they run authoratitative nodes), they can make blocks every 2ish seconds.
They used the Cosmos chain tech (Ethereum offshoot).
So I get what you are saying, but it really could be done. Bitcoin only has 50K-ish nodes. F1 could legitimately hit 50M with fan incentives.
