- What does blockchain have to do with HPC? What advantages does this give me versus current solutions?

- If I was concerned of the privacy of my data, why would I put it on an unproven, public, immutable ledger? We all know what can happen when even minor bugs rear their heads in these types of applications.

- Where does machine learning come into the equation?

- Why would I want to use this rather than AWS/GCE/etc.?

I guess really what I'm asking is, what problem is this solving? Just curious :)

Mind to provide a pointer? Generally new to Dawn's work, and I think many readers here have a similar background.

That took maybe 3 seconds to search. The amount of skepticism here is absurd.

If you list pub list, then I have no idea how to find proof of the fact.

Edit: Below are a bit ranty comments on research style. Please ignore it and provide pointers that show the person created a new research area.

And frankly, the changing of the research areas (security -> deep learning -> blockchain) are a typical symbol of smart people who are good at catching trendy research topics, but never achieved the true top-tier research results. To be specific, such people are absolutely smart and intelligent, but they have a pattern to always latch on so-called cutting-edge topics, and quickly gain high reputation. In the end, their fame and what they do usually does not well match each other.

Btw, I didn't mean to discredit but merely to get the data.
