http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iir5J6Z3Z1Q - Bitcoin Fireside Chat with Marc Andreessen and Balaji Srinivasa - Inspiration for what the requirements of different types of public ledgers could be and what apps would use them...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUNddAqAI7U Bitcoin VC panel - investment opportunities in the Bitcoin space - 16:30 Red Hat mentioned as a needed equivalent for crypto second time (also somewhere in the first video). I can imagine a company that helps companies to set up their own public ledgers.

I don't find these panels very enlightening in general. But they give you good inspiration and make us aware of narratives outside this forum which is important. I will ad more here which I find interesting.

Great post... could we identify how to describe the 'Red Hat' of crypto?

Thanks,

Here is what I believe will happen in the next years: Big companies and start ups will want to make use of blockchain technology but do not want to buy in with the security issues, the dependence on the bitcoin foundation, the partly questionable reputation (drug trafficing, immense perceived unfair distribution; can be a surface for attack for competitors whether justified or not) of bitcoin. Different companies will have very different needs: Some companies need maximum trustlessness, some will need more efficiency (possibly millisecond transaction times, barely no costs for security). And example for the payment application would be: One "currency" for big transaction (buying a car) where it doesnt matter that much how long  the tx processing takes and what the fee is and one for micro transactions/tipping/buying a beer where a double spend attack on the payment for the beer wouldn't hurt that much. Also some will need more consulting on implementation and maintenance (security) of their blockchains, some will just need some advice on what blockchain type fits their purpose best and maybe some adjustment of that open source (POS) blockchain software.

I appreciate the trustee suggestion by bytemaster, not because I particularly like it (have to take a closer look still; it's all a trade of and in the end it will depend on the application the 'proof of x' is used for and on implementation details and on how it is sold/perceived), but because it shows that III could not only crowdfund various blockchain based services ('coins') but could also help companies enhance their transpareny and accountability and offer 'a store of different types of blockchains' which can be individualized if needed.

As I understand it they were looking for a go-to company that employs a large number of Bitcoin (but that might of course shift in the future) developers,  where you could buy support and at the same time sponsor the further development of bitcoin.

In that regard Invictus/Bitshares does indeed have a lot of similarities with Red Hat.
Maybe a similar setup could be conceived with a corporation focused branch of the office where corporate-support can be bought on a yearly basis and a experimental/testing Fedora-style part where new ideas are being worked out, tested and fostered by the community, before making them accessible for "Big business".

Yes, this is exactly what BitShares Foundation does. This analogy needs to be all over the place.

But I would not promote it actively. That would come across as 'unhealthily self entitled'  (dont know a better expression).... Community members should through that hint in ounce in a while on different platforms or suggest it to some news company...

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.
