Thanks for the thread and link OP as this is something I have becoming interested in the last few months.

You could also want to build some small centralized blockchain for your small project or even of some company, limitations are endless. Building blockchain is not strictly tied to building next altcoin as money is just one application that can be built on top of it.

I would like to explore the possibilities of this more. Have you any examples of an application using a small centralized blockchain? I am building an application on Python which I would like to incorporate with blockchain somehow. I don't have a clue how to do it at this stage but each day I get a clearer picture.

I am using this as basic tracking of certificates of completion for an education and training system i am working on.

I am basically just storing the cert hash on the blockchain. That certificate hash is made up of the users details then added to the chain.

The next step is auto integration where when a user completes the training in that very instance it is added to the chain instantly. Small steps but i find blockchain and DLTs fascinating, hence being here.

So would it be possible to use blockchain to record that someone has done a task like, say, listened to a piece of music, and then they are sent tokens for completing it? Obviously you wouldn't be able to tell if they went out and let it play but just confirm the fact that they have played it through.

Not many people like the command line aspect, some dont like the API aspect. My sentiment is dont let the unknown defeat you, attempt learn what you dont know now and ease into it. Its how most / every person learns new things.

I know we have an enormous experience base here on bitcointalk.org so i plead with more advanced users not to berate or flame newbies. I welcome them as thats how i started myself.

Good luck and remember if you are really determined you will accomplish most things, if not all things you are passionate about.

This is very good advice. I'm only learning coding languages to varying degrees the last 3 years. Recently I had to make a few tutorials on using command screen and lost the fear of the unknown aspect of it after going through the whole process myself. I learn best by doing and googling along the way. I've started learning Python and finding it a lot easier after learning other languages through seeing familiar phrases and structure. When I do start focusing on blockchain I'm not going to be as wary going into learn it now because I know it can be done with time and research.
