Grew up outside the box. Never could get in the darn thing.
https://www.ibgib.com - I developed this for scalable, event-source-like open data, and it turned out that I independently reinvented the Merkle Tree (blockchain) data structure and then some (had never heard of Merkle, graph databases, etc.). Now people think about BitCoin and Ethereum smart contracts. ibGib's data structure enables a more elegant solution beyond the blockchain architecture. Think git at a semantic level, where diffs are applied not just to text but as event-source-like immutable events, with a unified identity infrastructure that combines Humans, AI, ML, and/or Microservice-generated data, as well as providing for expansion into a genetic evolution ecosystem. All with the security and provenance guarantees of blockchain, but scalable because of the tree-shakable data projection architecture. This also enables the analog of git push origin
to communicate the immutable ibGib data among nodes, and much more. Email me if you're interested in VC for this beyond-blockchain project.
