We should put Hansard (transcript of parliamentary debates) on a block chain.
@JamieJBartlett er, no. Why would random peers on the internet want to store your records.

@anomalyuk Not my records, they're a public record. Storing it there means it's unalterable, digitised & available to everyone. Cheaply. -
@JamieJBartlett who told you blockchains were cheap? Bitcoin leger is abou 2 dvd's of data & cost of storage is threatening to tear it apart -
@anomalyuk I didn't say on the bitcoin blockchain? . -
@JamieJBartlett all others are smaller. -
@anomalyuk And? I'm thinking a specific block chain for Parliamentary records. -
@JamieJBartlett please, look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) … and also http://github.com technical people already store everything this way -
@anomalyuk Yes I know this obviously. What's your point? -
@JamieJBartlett I'm trying to pin down what you mean by blockchain. BTC style blockchain with peer broadcasts is not cheap. - 4 more replies

@JamieJBartlett if you say "blockchain" to mean "records which contain hashes of previous related records" a better name would be "git". -
@JamieJBartlett and yes, all important records should be stored using git. - End of conversation
