why the fuck is boeing involved in crypto bullshit
what the fuck it’s not even decentralized why the hell do these guys need a blockchain

@ariadne prolly works just as well as the logistic blockchain at maersk¹

@ariadne they're really into things that crash
@ariadne telling that they literally started selling the solution before half-discussing the problems to be solved.
@ariadne I suspect this is most likely an "enterprise blockchain", which are just cryptographic distributed ledgers. Under this definition git, PGP signed email conversations, and SSL certs are "blockchains". And I have heard of enterprise blockchain devs unironically saying git is a blockchain.

Link in this case, it seems to just be some certificates, signed images, and a purchase history. There were some attempts decades ago by the cryptopunks of the era to make corporations do this.

Which leads into *why* this is being called "blockchain": the hype buzzword makes it possible for engineers to get their bosses to pay for the implementation of actually good ideas like cryptographically signed certificates of authenticity.
