That's made me think.

Why the hell don't software developers have their own chain of trust?

(Well, professionals in general, but you'd think that we'd have gotten this shit working for ourselves first.)

It would kinda fix this shit - at least to the extent that it was actually used.

So then all you need to do is have "Company X" adopt the policy that all of their people must be connected to the trust chain.

From then on "A" of "Company X" fame can no longer be impersonated (except via theft of keys).

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No, it’s BLOCKCHAIN!

This actually sounds like a possibility legit application for distributed ledger.


I'd rather use a distributed DAG than a distributed linked-list.

But yeah, that's a decent use for the ledger.
