He's the reason I asked :)

I've found a few articles and some discussion about this on social media from 2021, but not much since then.

Any idea whether that project in Ethiopia is still alive?

It sounds like "private blockchain" means very few copies of the blockchain, or even just one?

If it does, why was it decided to use a blockchain rather than a traditional database?

How?

Thanks for the links to examples.

These voting and real estate securitisation projects look to be quite small-scale, but they also seem to be real-world and not prototypes, so they are what I asked for :)

I can see that IPFS is decentralised/P2P, but I don't see how a blockchain is part of it.

Am I missing something?

I hadn't heard of LBRY before.

A quick look at it has me thinking that it's a content distribution platform, and the blockchain element is that it has its own token that can be used to pay content creators. Does that sound right?

I've always used Google Camera on GOS for this reason.

It's the one Google app I use. I believe I have it sandboxed effectively, although I'll admit that I'm not knowledgeable enough to really confirm that.

Installing Google Camera to be able to have a good camera was a compromise I was prepared to make, and three years later I'm still happy with that compromise, although it might or might not be one that others would accept on their own devices.

@sneak, was there anything other than the camera about GOS that you considered a shortcoming?

Good call. I've been using GrapheneOS for the last three years, and I recommend it highly.

Okay, NFTs, fair enough :)

They often run off the Ethereum ledger, am I right?

HN seems like the ideal place for this question to me.

Your assumption that I'm not hoping for good-faith answers is incorrect and unfair.

I have, but looking at their website doesn't get me closer to an answer to my question.

They describe themselves as "Enabling developers, enterprises, and organizations to collaboratively build, share, and enhance blockchain frameworks and tools."

So Hyperledger sounds like a framework/platform for building blockchains?

So I'm wondering what blockchains have been built with it, and made it past the prototype stage to be in use in the real world?

Even though I use it every day, I'd never thought of a Git repo as a blockchain before.

But each commit chains to the one before it though, so I suppose it is.

Thanks for this new perspective!
