            Private blockchains Vs Hashgraph, Ripple, BigChainDb
            Asked 2020-Feb-10 at 23:21

            I have been investigating different blockchains for some use cases. In the end, I came to the conclusion that setting up a private blockchain is equivalent to having a distributed database with blockchain concepts like immutability, digital signatures on top of it. Eg: Bigchaindb. (Well, If we do need smart contract feature then distributed database might not work)

            Theoretically, hashgraph consensus algorithm doesn't look secure enough for a public chain. It looks like a close alternate version of Ripple.

            In summary,

            1. Hashgraph, Ripple suits for private chain.
            2. Private chain is equivalent to setting a Distributed database

            Here I am sharing my views, to know in what way private chain is better than a distributed database?

            Answered 2018-Feb-20 at 15:29

            Defining features of hash graph consensus are virtual voting, transaction ordering and the swiftness of gossip to gossip protocol. These are helping hash graph to achieve a state of eventual asynchronous BFT in a chronotopic architecture. If we add more cryptographic rigor and integrity to these properties, it will be a fast, secure and self organized public distributed graph ledger with unique properties.

            How to use Blockchain for storing data
            Asked 2019-Sep-02 at 08:09

            So basically I'm building a webapp, which I make requests to PHP to READ/WRITE a MySQL database, looking in Google I found a Quora blog post about Blockchain databases, I've seen one (it looks pretty good) it's BigchainDB the thing is I am on a shared hosting, and obviously I can't run Python and anything just simple and plain PHP scripts and else.

            My question is: Is there any way to host a database on Blockchain from a shared hosting (free) or use Blockchain in MySQL in any form?

            Is there any way to host a database on Blockchain from a shared hosting (free) or use Blockchain in MySQL in any form?

            It appears that you're asking two questions in one. Here's how I might divide up:

            1. Can I host a database on a blockchain?
            2. How would I use MySQL with blockchain?

            Let's look at these questions in order.

            1. Can I host a database on a blockchain?

            Yes, you can. A blockchain is basically a shared ledger that contains data entries. So when you host a blockchain, you are naturally hosting a database. For instance, the Bitcoin blockchain is a database of Bitcoin transactions.

            hosting (free)

            You may not find free hosting, especially since blockchain mining can computationally expensive depending on the consensus algorithm. However, you can always use your own computer to host simulate a network of blockchain nodes, setting up several instances of a Docker container that communicates with each other.

            2. Use Blockchain with MySQL

            Before I answer this, let me assume a situation. Perhaps, you want to host a MySQL DB that contains entries from the blockchain. You may be motivated to do this to get better query performance on your local environment.

            In this case, I think you would have two kinds of databases in your system

            1. Blockchain (Shared Ledger)
            2. MySQL DB

            You would address your problem by replicating the entries on the blockchain to MySQL. You would also replicate the difference periodically to make sure your MySQL DB is in sync with the contents of the blockchain. Once you sync, you can use your MySQL DB with your app by using an ORM (Object-relation manager) on PHP.

            Interestingly, bitcoind, the bitcoin-core daemon, builds its local database (powered by BerkeleyDB) to reference transactions on a full node.

            There are a couple of issues here.

            The first is that the index is on the field loc whereas your query is querying metadata.location.

            If you try creating a 2dsphere index on metadata.location you will see the 2nd error:

            The issue here is that you are using json.dumps() on request.body, which is already a string. So when you use json.loads() on this, your data doesn't get parsed into a dict.

            Answered 2018-Oct-14 at 10:08

            If the bdb.blocks.get(txid) call times out, then that might be a bug in the Python driver, unless the BigchainDB network was down when you made the call, in which case of course it timed out. Can you try again, i.e. post a new transaction and then do bdb.blocks.get(txid). If it times out again, then maybe try the same HTTP request with your web browser, i.e. put something like this in your address bar:

            http://your-hostname:port/api/v1/blocks?transaction_id=blahblahblah

            and press Enter and see if it works. If not, then something is wrong with the node. If it does work, then something is wrong with the Python driver.

            About Mining

            BigchainDB nodes don't do anything like the "mining" that some Bitcoin or Ethereum nodes do. The nodes in a BigchainDB network achieve Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus in a different way, using the Tendermint consensus mechanism. The theory and practice of BFT consensus go back to the late 1970s (although the BFT terminology only arose in the early 1980s), so it's not a new idea; Tendermint is just one of the newer BFT consensus algorithms/protocols.

            The current BigchainDB Testnet (at test.bigchaindb.com) doesn't allow external users to connect directly to the MongoDB instances in its nodes. Nor can you start up a local node and add it to the BigchainDB Testnet. It's a "permissioned network": existing network nodes must explicitly add your node to the network.
