[Cryptography] Internet independent Blockchain

[Joshua Marpet]

Hey, so long as you understand that you're just as crazy as the rest of us.

All right, no gold. webmoney.ru? ;)

Honestly, the only thing I could think of to use this for is for barter
records in something resembling a significantly third world country. When I
envision this network of yours, it's a slow motion mesh, with individual
nodes dropping data packets into the mesh, and those packets tumbling one
transaction at a time across the entire board.

So what moves in slow motion? What would not need constant updates, and in
fact, would benefit from restricted communication ability.

SBOM's. Software Bill of Materials or similar. Some very restrictive
hardware, which updates the database (blockchain) on a regular, but
infrequent basis. Every update is when that node connects and downloads the
update/transaction/packet. If you have downloaded it, and installed the
associated data, you have the latest version. Your node is updated, and
sends the record of that update on its way. Immutable record of you
updating, which is useful for cyberinsurance, aggregate data of how many
system sare updated to latest version, or not. It's a little disjointed
yes, but hey, I'm trying here.
