Rejected Ideas

Too bad. It looked promising

[Serg-Norseman]

Interesting! It was worth closing to get a review))))

The idea was very promising, only there is no one on the horizon who would be interested - at least in correspondence.

The idea is very simple in essence - to get a serverless network for the exchange of arbitrary information between program users: catalogs of reference information, lists of geo-locations, name directories, fragments of genealogical search data.

In fact: a genealogical private torrent, but not with files, but with pieces of information.

Only the project is not closed. It has been postponed because I don't know how to build "webs of trust". And this is important, especially in the current conditions. If it is not possible to make a reliable serverless system for ranking participants and accumulating a positive or negative rank with automatic distribution in the network, one pest that enters the system will destroy the entire system.

I planned to start small and simple - to create a distributed system of unified accumulation of geo-historical information (linking the administrative division of countries to dates). But in the current conditions, one invading troll who disagrees with another point of view will destroy everything around him. And to create a reliable countermeasure system, very specialized skills are needed.

Yes I understand

I don't know how to build "webs of trust"

I don't have any specific suggestions. I was just looking for a ready-made solution for my project - online database of cemetery records.

Yes, and such application is possible. I planned to do all such things as specialized minimalistic plugins that can wrap specific information in the blockchain and send it to the network. And there - who needs such information and the corresponding plugin is activated - the information is deployed from the blockchain to the local database.

Are you sure you wanted distributed serverless technology for your purposes?

It took me a lot of work to explain even to close friends what the benefits of such approaches are (the fundamental indestructibility of information while there is at least one participant with a copy of the data on the network).

I'm not sure, but I think that decentralization in genealogical research is something new and promising. Many people using offline software for building family trees. And it would be great to exchange this data in one click without uploading it to centralization services like myheritage, geni, etc. Sites with genealogical information (like my own) could be part of this decentralization network.
