I do not think blockchain would solve any funding issues. Its more so about the information and it’s validity in a decentralized network. I realize blockchain is almost exclusively associated with cryptocoins, but it seems like there should be other use cases for the technology. It would be cool to have a centralized ledger of CVEs where the information is agreed upon by partners; be it various vendors, governments, and institutions.

I am definitely not a blockchain expert, or even a novice. I’m probably closer to the people that don’t know how the regular web works. With the rise of de-centralized/federated social media an communications, I’d think people would be interested in a similar framework for something like the CVE database. I’m not say blockchain is the answer for this issue either, it was just an idea. An idea that people are not big fans of apparently, and that’s fine. I think a different commenter mentioned using git, so there’s another idea.

Regardless of the method, I see de-centralization as a benefit and hopefully other do as well.

oh no.

You asked me “Do you think they won’t need funding on the blockchain?” No, I don’t think that.

I do think they need funding.

what, that I do not think that?

what are you trying to argue?

That works too, but who controls the servers, and how is the authority handled? Backing up the data is one thing, and that can be easily done I believe. But what about for future advisories? They are published via one of the authoritative servers and synced to the other authoritative servers? How is that information verified to ensure bad actors aren’t publishing bullshit information?

I don’t think blockchain is necessarily the answer. The whole thing can just be done with signing keys, yeah?

I know everyone hates on blockchain, but I think its kinda neat and would like to see some cool applications with it one day.

No

can they put cve on a blockchain? or some publicly auditable distributed database?

its worrisome that all it takes is a funding cut to shut it down.

that was always my beef with ads, they just didnt speak to me on an emotional level

if thats true, brb setting up a website and a bot farm
