Description

1. Can a blockchain be made to support the many new regulations that require the “Right of Erasure”?
2. If so, how can it then remain an immutable source of truth?
3. Does a solution require a specialized blockchain or can it be applied to existing blockchains?
4. What are the issues that arise from incorporating the solution?

Homework

• Supporting the Right To Erasure on Blockchains

• US Patent: Systems and Methods for Extending the Utility of Blockchains Through Use of Related Child Blockchains

Takeaways

• New Rule: Episode starts no later then 3 min after the hour, even if the guest doesn't show!

But is the inability to remove data from a blockchain preventing adoption of blockchain anywhere? Praveen and Mike couldn't think of any use cases where this approach would justify the extra complexity of versioning the blockchaim.

Here's a picture from the patent that sort of gives you an idea:
