BigchainDB – A scalable blockchain database

Hi Tent, thanks for your answer. Can you elaborate on #2? Is your suggestion to run a private BigChainDB network of nodes you control?

Also, are suggesting that no sensitive data should ever be stored in a BigChainDB, or I misinterpret #3?

Re (2): this would be a group of people or organizations running nodes together. (If it was just nodes you controlled it misses the point of being decentralized.) You could store sensitive data in this setup, if each person/org had the proper data protection setup. This is not easy, however.

Actually option (2) shows a way to store PII on BigchainDB. But it's not easy. My recommendation is to do (1). And, like my comment before, please please don't do (3) ;)
