wot1 VS tendermint

Yes, it's interesting.

This has been known and ocassionally touted for AGES. I've attempted to start a couple of such projects and have been following the progress of other projects with similar ideas.

There has been near ZERO interest for them, because there's no currently viable business case for such projects, except "let the government pay for it." Data mining isn't THAT useful if there's no data in there - who would force entities like companies, universities or the SEC to push the data into the blockchain?

I'd be very happy if could find funding for https://github.com/WOTvision/wot1 and I can see a business case for it as a potential platform for legal, paid distribution of news between creators/reporters and distributors like news portals. But even so, no takers.

Sigh. Some day I hope I can get this project funded: https://github.com/WOTvision/wot1

"This is a repository containing an implementation of a blockchain which supports an unique feature set: asserting trust of information organised in JSON documents.

The goal is to have a global public notary service, for people and corporations to issue signed statements which are globally recognized and verifyable, which are identified by a QR code, which the media and news channels can reproduce and which can be verified by the consumers of information (i.e. ordinary people). The vision is to combat fake news by using a thing blockchains are very good at: distributing reliable data, and by providing a low-tech user-centric interface to it, which everyone can use to verify random junk they hear on the media."

Tendermint Core / CometBFT — a state machine replication engine (written in Go);

There are good use-cases, but to much focus on cryptocurrencies. Frameworks are not well designed to be used in other use-cases. Best that I have found that doesn't forces you to a specific architecture is Tendermint, but is not even close to state-of-the-art performance and scalability. Everything else is designed around cryptocurrency and smart contracts.

BFT is an algorithm that ensures that the whole network works well even if a few members are acting fraudulently. As long as these fraudulent members are less than 33% of those who have voting power, the network will work fine. Those with voting power are those with something at stake. Cosmos uses a type of BFT consensus engine known as Tendermint. Cosmos uses Tendermint because it provides the best support for building POS blockchains.

Relevant Github ticket showing chains are now scrambling to decide which fork to use: https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/9972

BlockX is based on Tendermint Core, which relies on a set of validators that are responsible for committing new blocks in the blockchain. These validators participate in the consensus protocol by broadcasting votes which contain cryptographic signatures signed by each validator's private key.

Built with Cosmos and Tendermint.

Haqq is a scalable, high-throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain that is fully compatible and interoperable with Ethereum. It's built using the Cosmos SDK which runs on top of Tendermint Core consensus engine.Haqq allows for running vanilla Ethereum as a Cosmos application-specific blockchain. This allows developers to have all the desired features of Ethereum, while at the same time, benefit from Tendermint’s PoS implementation. Also, because it is built on top of the Cosmos SDK, it will be able to exchange value with the rest of the Cosmos Ecosystem through the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC)Features
