blockchain is too slow and completely inappropriate.

this thread makes me want to build a platform

I tend to lean toward the raft protocol vs blockchain due to storage

raft is too non-deterministic. Something like paxos is probably more appropriate; the write-once property is exactly what you want here, and it is deterministic.

in case nobody told you, you’re not allowed to say blockchain on HN

Talking about blockchains is fine, pretending they are somewhat apt at solving a problem that isn't money laundering is what will get you frowned upon.
