Hey Sunerok,

would  like to see your view&Verge community on this:

I just realized that loopback - dummy IPs -  on the user side, but public ledger  can be integrated so smoothly  in the IOT / connected vehicles/ smart city echo system.

they are  estimating billions of  things connected  by 2020 and blockchain will be used as  backbone instead of deploying  centralized nodes around the end users.

now the thing is that corporations are already starting to  build private blockchains to accommodate this. Basically  a virtual currency will be used to pay inside those chains. there are a lot examples on this if we search.

Do you find feasible to try to tackle the IOT market?

this could be huge.

indeed, public ledger needs to exist .

As  for security, if you cannot see within verge blockchain the real IP s of the users, maybe verge can be considered an alternative to the private chains.

I think that selling the dummy Ip s/public ledger idea for IOT is easier that those for person privacy.

Some people can consider that privacy is not that important and also that those that think too much of this  are going into the conspiracy theory zone.

Which is not true, why not keeping it invisible but legal (because of the public ledger) if it`s possible, but it is what it is and  this thinking might block easy adoption.

Thus this idea with IOT which  screams end user security/privacy.

PS: verge can go for combined "human" and "things privacy"  , not sure about the branding/ specialization aspect  in respect with the market info overflow.
this can be further on discussed.

cheers
