Someone really needs to create a version of the cloud to butt extension that replaces "blockchain" with "database".

What you're describing is a useful application for a _database_. Mixing "blockchain" into it would only hurt the viability of the database, not bring any obvious benefit.

Your comment makes so much more sense with the word database:

"A federally supported database used as a public notary and other official functions, as you mentioned, seems like it may have a place in the future."

Indeed.



Normally I’d agree with you, but given this is all about verification it might make sense to distribute both trust as well as usage.
