區塊鏈+其他

區塊鏈的應用其實非常廣泛,凡是與互聯網有關的行業即可與之有所關聯,包括有一些人們意想不到的領域。

補充一些區塊鏈與之相融甚歡的特色領域,參考如下:

區塊鏈+社交網絡

Taringa!是拉美地區最大的內容平台,其發佈了一個收入共享項目Taringa! Creadores,用戶可以通過在其中發佈內容賺取比特幣。

區塊鏈社交平台Steemit發佈了測試版本,利用自己的區塊鏈和加密貨幣對發佈內容以及參與投票和討論的人發放獎勵。

Yours是另一個建立在比特幣區塊鏈上的分佈式社交網絡,預計在2016年年底發佈。[21]

區塊鏈+遊戲

Takara是一款基於地理位置的遊戲,玩家可以在該遊戲設定的地圖中尋找比特幣和其他有價值的東西,包括優惠券、入場券、忠誠度積分、公司股票等。為了獲取這些「寶藏」,玩家必須親自跟隨GPS到達指定地點。以上所有的獎勵都會被記錄在比特幣區塊鏈上。[22]

區塊鏈+火車票

當我們使用手機中的App(應用程序)購買車票時,信用卡公司會處理付費過程,並收取相應的手續費。但如果鐵路公司採用區塊鏈技術,便可以節省付給信用卡公司的費用,甚至還可以將整個購票系統搬到區塊鏈上,實現購票透明化。

區塊鏈+電子郵件

如果能利用區塊鏈發送電子郵件的話,郵件傳輸將更安全,甚至還可以解決垃圾郵件氾濫的問題,因為對於發送垃圾郵件的人而言,向這樣的安全體系寄出幾百萬封垃圾郵件,恐怕是一種極不划算的行為。因為在區塊鏈的體系中,用以交換的信息會經過驗證、編碼、執行,最後成為一筆記錄,儲存在一個不屬於任何人的分散式網絡中。另外,如果寄送郵件的成本極低,或許大家會願意為了更高的安全性、保密性和時效性而支付些許服務費用。

綜上,我們不難看出,區塊鏈技術幾乎可以滲透生活的每一個角落。也許20年、10年,甚至5年、1年後,區塊鏈會以光速融入人們的生活。也許你也不知道具體哪裡運用了區塊鏈技術,但它已無處不在,與你的生活融為一體。
