It helps how exactly? Why nothing else, like distributed hash table or gossip protocol, would work?
I think that you are feeling good when you scoff something new. It's not productive communication.
Oh, I understand blockchain quite well. Well enough to see when it's forced into the role of DHT or some other protocol/structure that by itself was cheap and efficient.
> Can you explain how can I make trusted mmo lifecycle database if the system requires anyone can participate the node? I think you can't solve. If you can, explain it.
With the vaguene requirements you have used here, just put a digital signature on the data and you're done.
As I said, you haven't described why you need blockchain in particular. You try to defend it by saying that you don't see any other way to implement a distributed data store for your game, but it means nothing, especially with the numbers of people blinded by blockchain hype. If you used just about any other distributed protocol, I wouldn't even bat an eye, but with blockchain you don't get the benefit of the doubt.
> I think that you are feeling good when you scoff something new.
No, just when I scoff somebody who uses the wrong thing in the wrong way for the wrong reasons.
Signatures ensure the integrity of the data, but more consensus is needed to ensure that the data is not deleted and is well maintained on the network. Your answer isn't enough to solve my problem. Although blockchain is not the only correct answer, blockchain is one of the solutions.
I don't say that blockchain is only and the best solution I think. If you think the better solution, let me know. scoffing isn't productive.
DHT (with data duplication, obviously), I said already. Or gossip protocol. You don't need consensus, and blockchain doesn't give you one either.
> Your answer isn't enough to solve my problem.
As you have stated the problem? Yes, it is enough.
Maybe there are some requirements that make a timestamping protocol necessary, but you haven't provided any. As I said previously, if you use blockchain, you have to defend your choice, because most of the people who build on top of it don't understand it, use it in stupid ways, and just want something trendy for the sake of being trendy. You need to prove that you aren't one of them and that you are competent with it.
> Although blockchain is not the only correct answer, blockchain is one of the solutions.
Very expensive solution, applied because you don't understand what it is and why and when would you need one (if you did, you'd explain the necessity for blockchain long time ago).
Dude, learn some terminology first. Random is very much the opposite of deterministic. Otherwise you're just spouting garbage.
