One of the biggest advantages of a blockchain is it's ability to trust the entries written on a distributed ledger and actions that are automatcally executed when certain criteria is met regarding those entries(This statement ignores the fact that it's still possible to take over a blockchain if you control enough of it) There are a lot of industry specific business cases where the elimination of a 3rd party trust authority would save a lot of money. Remember that not only physical goods can be stored on a blockchain. Consider a contract where multiple participants are required to execute actions in a pre defined order. In theory there are a gazillion use cases for a data structure with that kind of behaviour. In reality it most of the time comes down to the scaling ability of transactions executed/s, which is horrible at the moment.

Would be an intetesting article if network traffic would`ve been tracked. The difference between accessing the contact list in a 30sec intervall vs additonally sending the gathered information to their servers is a huge difference. Be it power consumption or traffic wise. Maybe its a mechanism to prevent stand by mode? I made the experience that, if i turn on power save mode i only recieve messages if i actively open whatsapp.

Maybe if they claimed to cure one thing it would be a fraction of a bit more believable

i have to say, i failed miserably the first few times due to always looking up what i needed to write:D Maybe it was because of the random stuff you need to write instead of segments you can interpret,

theres a strong need for a revolution of ads in my opinion, who doesnt have adblocker or sth similar nowadays. Guess the ones that can do that will be the next google/facebook revenue-exploding wise:)
