Blockstack
The final post in this lecture series is about Blockstack. Blockstack is a network for building decentralized applications based on blockchain. I find the idea of decentralized applications appealing because of its promise to give users more ownership and control of their data.
Blockstack is also interesting as it's a non-cryptocurrency use of blockchain, which I covered in the previous post. I'll start this post with an overview of how a decentralized application might work, before describing Blockstack's approach.
