BCR is not a replacement for TCP. This is a whitepaper proposal for secure inter connectivity of embedded code devices such as door locks, thermostats, and refrigerators. The blockchains in this paper are for the secure identification of the devices on the network, not the data being transferred over the network. They're proposing using blockchained data to prevent unauthorized devices using spoofed IDs to infiltrate a home's networked security devices.

A blockchain is a data storage methodology, It doesn't make sense in the context of transmission.

Transmission Control Protocol just establishes a connection, divides data into numbered packets, and validates full packet receipt. It already has validation of previous packets.

If what you're looking for is encryption of the transmitted packets, we already have that. It's called VPN.

*Well, you posted again and clarified that what you meant was just hash validation of prior packets. That has nothing to do with blockchain. Hashing is its own concept that has existed outside of blockchain for a long time.

Hashing packets wouldn't make much difference other than slowing down transmission, though. Partial packets are practically useless anyway. There's not a lot of reason to worry about someone intercepting a packet, changing it somehow, and reinserting it into the transmission.

That was my argument in 2016, but I think it's a bit deeper than that. President Trump recognized that a third-party could never win because the two major parties could always be counted on to work together to ice out any competition.

So President Trump showed us that the way to win was to take over the Republican party from the ground up with a grass roots movement to storm the primaries. That's the plan that we need to keep well into the future.

Get involved at the lowest levels. President Trump got a lot of normally non-voting people involved in the highest level of politics, but we need to get everyone engaged at the lowest level. We need a MAGA candidate in every primary, and a challenger for every Dem in every city council position, alderman, dog catcher, you name it.

MAGA in the primaries, R in the general.

I've been saying for a while that a massive spike in home schooling will be one of very few good things to come out of this.

They don't give you any back anywhere I've heard about. Public school is a social welfare program. Property taxes aren't to send your kids to school. They're to send everyone else's kids to school whether you have any or not.

I know not everyone has the ability. It's especially difficult for single parents, but you might be able to find some homeschooling groups or coops in your area. You'd have to look around since that sort of thing is always very local, but most places have something available.

If not, it's not like none of us survived public school without falling for the program. They are constantly trying to make it harder than it used to be though. That's why they keep kids constantly wrapped up in extra-curriculars and time wasting busy-work homework. What few hours parents get to spend with their children shouldn't have to be spent trying to UN-teach them all the crap the schools are telling them.

No. Third parties are a complete waste of time. For generations the one thing you could always count on the two-party system to agree to was anything that helped them freeze out third parties.

President Trump showed us the way to win. Take over the Republican party from the ground up through the primary elections. Donate solely to individual candidate, not The Party.

MAGA in the primaries, and Straight R in the general. Sure that means some RINOs stick around, but if the alternative is just handing the keys straight over to the Stalinists that have taken the Democrats, then how is that better than just giving up?

Best plan is to pull your kids out of school. It's easier than you think. Any plan to fix the public school system will take too much time to really help the current crop of students that must wallow in the mire waiting for school board to be replaced, competent teachers to be trained and hired, textbooks to be purged of political agendas...

If you can afford a decent private or church school that you trust, that's great, but for most of us homeschooling is the best and most affordable way to ensure your children are actually getting a quality education.

If you take away the overt politics that get people targeted for suppression, there's actually quite a large growing movement.

Compare youtube to Hollywood controlled TV. NOT POLITICS, just entertainment and pop culture. Check out how many happily married families with large children there are. Check out how many hard-working capitalist small business owners there are. Check out how many youtubers just casually mention they're Christian. Not Christian focused channels that are openly proselytizing, but normal people that just give thanks to God for their blessings.

The lecherous Hollywood left has enjoyed a monopoly on popular culture for a long time and that gave generations of people a very skewed view of what our society was really like, but the INSTANT people were given a different avenue that was outside their control, people rejected Hollywood's nonsense en masse.

There is much cause for optimism about our future. The up and coming generation is better than their parents. They remember how much it hurt to grow up in a broken home and they have rejected it. They're having loads of kids. They're re-learning lost skills like gardening and canning. They're starting their own businesses and realizing that Big Academia ripped them off. Homeschooling is gaining in popularity by leaps and bounds.

This is far from the darkest times in our history. People only get that impression by paying undeserved attention to media outlets whose sole intention is to keep people miserable, scared, and glued to the screen.

It's not the data storage that matters. It's the data entry and retrieval points that matter. You might as well put a busted screen door on a nuclear hardened bank vault if you don't acknowledge the fact that the people in charge of implementing ballot security ARE the ones that are corrupt.

We can't get them to ask for an ID, but even if we did, what difference would it make if the workers at the polls refuse to check them? Blockchain data storage is just one very small piece of a complex system, and it's relative strengths and weaknesses are irrelevant to the most important issues with ballot security.

Regardless, I hope your stock in it does well. I'm not saying it's a worthless methodology. I'm just saying it doesn't fix the issues we have with ballot security, and there is no such thing as perfectly secure data so long as it relies on human beings at any level to accurately, competently, and honestly input or retrieve the data.

Most "hacking" in the world is just somebody leaving a password lying around.

Kerry, Cheney... Probably has a place for JEB too. His fantasy cabinet is stacking up to be the oldest, whitest, richest, most corporatist in history.

It's almost as if he's the exact literal opposite of what all the Dem ground troops claimed they wanted.

Amazing that they had enough party enthusiasm to elect him by more votes than any candidate ever.

To bad they waited till after the polls had closed to become enthusiastic.

There they go again pushing the hurtful, racist stereotype of the angry black man. You'd think that since they're oh so convinced that President Trump is racist and hates black people they wouldn't want to silence the only black voice on the Supreme Court.

Believe it or not, no one actually has to concede. Whomever is the actual winner of the established Constitutional process becomes President.

If anyone tries to stop that, they learn what "support and defend" actually means.

Just the first thing to pop up when I searched "blockchain hackable". Do it for yourself instead of just believing what the salesmen tell you.

Yeah, that's pretty much what the sales staff has claimed for every other data storage methodology that's come out over the years I've been dealing with computers. "Stores forever" was one of the big ones used to sell CDs.

You're right, it's not one file on a computer, it's broken up into several files across several computers. Whose computers? Googles? Amazon's? The NSI? Also, if it were "immutable" it would be worthless. You have to be able to change what data is in a database. All blockchain means is that only the people given access can change it, and right now the people with the official access are the problem.

It doesn't even matter if it's public, because the public doesn't know how to read it. They have to use whatever app or website is given to them by the people that control the system, and trust that that company isn't exactly as corrupt as the company that gave us Dominion.

They patented it for a reason. They want to sell it. They don't want anyone else to implement a competing system based on similar methodologies. They want to be the exclusive company in control of any blockchain based vote information data storage.

They ran out of time. Because Trump voters mostly voted on the day, they didn't realize how many pre-filled ballots they were going to need and their software shift is percentage based. As the night wore on, they realized they were going to need more physical ballots for the inevitable recount demands. That's when they claimed they were stopping the count, kicked out all the poll watchers, and got to work.

Biden was supposed to win by a small but respectable amount that would trigger recounts and court cases so they could pull out the legitimate real ballots and sho President Trump as a whiney sore loser.

The red wave happened, and it wrecked their plans by forcing them to oversell the steal. It's like the movie Office Space. They were only supposed to cheat a little so most people wouldn't suspect.

They weren't supposed to show Biden winning by more than any presidential candidate in history.

There is nothing to tie a ballot to a voter on purpose for voter anonymity. Blockchain is just a way to store data. You might as well say floppy disks will secure the vote. How you store the data is just one tiny part of a large system.

No method of data security matters when the people entering the data are the ones who are corrupt. You "vote by phone" and the software records the exact opposite in the blockchain.

What evidence does that leave you? There's nothing to track. There's nothing to recount. every individual can log in to some system and get told THEIR vote was recorded accurately, so it must be that everyone else actually wanted the other guy, right?

"duplicate by hand"

By whose hand, and did we get to keep the originals?

1
aparition42 1 point ago +1 / -0

Blockchain tracking is a myth. It's no different than the assurance that computer tabulation machines would secure the vote decades ago. That's exactly what got us to the point that a software "glitch" can choose the winners and losers.

The problem has always been that the foxes are in charge of the hen house, and they're not going to get voted out because their side WANTS the cheat.

President Trump doesn't give away the plan to the enemy. Sometimes that means we don't get to know the plan either. That is how it should be.

Also, we're supposed to be freaking out, crying, and asking each other, "What happens now?" like frightened little children.

We're not supposed to be carrying on, having fun, and acting like we've won.
