Thank you to all of you who packed the aisles at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference for our Blockchain Basics presentations. We had overwhelming feedback from you that we needed to make our presentation available to those who were not able to see it in Toronto. Please enjoy! And let us know if you have any feedback or questions.
Blockchain is a secure, shared, distributed ledger that can be public, private, or consortium
Secure – Uses cryptography to create transactions that are impervious to fraud and establishes a shared truth.
Shared – Blockchain value is directly linked to the number of organizations or companies that participate in them. There is huge value for even the fiercest of competitors to participate with each other in these shared database implementations.
Distributed – There are many replicas of the blockchain database. In fact, the more replicas there are the more authentic it becomes.
Ledger – The database is append only so it is an immutable record of every transaction that occurs.
Microsoft is implementing a three part strategy
