RE: Will Technology Ever Trump Politics?
There's one problem that I've been trying to find solutions for, but I think it's just way out of my depth. So for example if I'd created farming kits with built-in sensors that measure everything from soil acidity, moisture, crop height sensor, etc for distributed research via blockchain data "rental". How do I even begin to be able to trust that I'm paying for real data? Someone could just fake any signals, unless there's a way to pair signals with hardware and time of transmission. Not even sure what word I'm looking for to describe this problem.
I see what you are saying - verification on the blockchain is hard. If I see this problem as you do, the solution I'd raise would revolve around a few concepts: Trusted parties and reputation systems. You want to have a system in place where reputable users are trusted but any proof of them faking their data would harm their reputation.
