@@dysonfilmstw4764 Exactly, the decentralized nature of chains like Cardano, to use an example would eliminate the need for escrow companies for example in a real estate deal. The chain holds the transaction in a escrow account until the contract is fulfilled, then could deposit the money into the previous property owners wallet.

immutable ID for refugees ...can't think of another way of guaranteeing that ...especially at scale (and offering permanent, near global access to that ID for when they return home, post war/crisis) urban gardens: incorporating an immutable, trustless, highly secure and verifiable and individually tailored agreement between renter & owner would be absolutely essential in order to persuade owners to sign up their gardens . as well as to formalise the terms of access and to reassure home owners that leasing out a part of their property (garden) is safe and that they can terminate etc without dispute. would you let stranger/s access your garden 2 or 3 times a week without a background check and a binding contract to help protect you and your home? probably the cheapest, clearest , fairest tailored contractual agreements on earth.

A good intro to smart contracts, though the examples do not make the need for smart contracts over existing technologies clear. Why is the decentralization and anonymity offered by smart contracts necessary in these examples?

[@vinay32724]

Olga delivered an awesome talk. I sometimes still question myself is smart contracts/blockchain the only way to solve this problem ? Are we solving a problem in a blockchain way rather than solving it in a much simpler way. Census, renting urban land in developed countries , matching kidneys etc are typically doesn’t sound like blockchain based problems for me. For me blockchain based problem basically should root from lack of trust on the service provider. One example is real estate in developing countries like India. In india , real estate registrations are done by the govt organisation. There are a ton of instances where people working in that organisations manipulate land records and register them to unwanted people in exchange of a bribe. Typically there is no transparency log available to verify the authenticity of chain of transactions and no way to validate double registrations. Insurance is another sector I believe the people are at mercy of the insurance (service) provider to get the claim processed rather than defined agreement. Probably solving these kind of problems are more impactful

I’ve been trying to understand the hype and wisdom behind smart contracts. This video same as all the many others iv’e watched doesn’t really explain anything innovative or revolutionary. They all mention the vending machine example. Great so a digital vending machine this is the upcoming revolution? Any IF stipulation in Visual Basic, or C+ does the same for years. Storing data anonymously? Any ordinary survey is capable of such. Executing contracts automatically to rent office spaces? Isn’t that a commercial Air B&B? There are many comments of excited people who seem to understand the profoundness and invocation of smart contracts and I simply ask what is it that makes it so great and promising? I am not trying to be cynical and I am a huge fan and investor of crypto. Just really trying to get a good understanding of what seem to be the future and none of these you tube videos explain anything significant. Would appreciate an answer from anyone who has this knowledge.

[@omoOluwa]

Let me take a good guess, are you trying to understand what smart contract is and it relationship to cryptocurrencies?

[@omoOluwa]

Smart contract can be immensely valuable in Nigeria, where I'm from by the exact attribute that is a public ledger which is immutable. Here, I see a wide range of vital applications - land ownership and history can be properly documented and verified and all sort of properties ranging from intellectual, tangibles and non-tangibles. Issues around the history of culture, language, art, education, families, villages and the entirety of the races can be resolved, inclusive and again Immutable. More interesting, this all happens at lighting speed and without the administrative complexities. However, I have my fears too, as human prejudice can alter the purity of data that will inadvertently be taken as immutable.

[@reemlewit743]

@@omoOluwa I appreciate you taking the time to answer however you response is again exactly reflects what I expressed in my comment above. Everyone is using high words and bombarding statements like - vital applications, endless uses etc I still unable to understand what smart contracts adding to today’s existing technology. Storing land ownership data? come on this can be stored on any computer using simple softwares. If you can just give 2-3 real life examples of smart contracts in places that are vital and cannot be addressed with endless other existing softwares and/or technologies.

[@尼安德鲁-n6j]

[@enthamwonoose3116]

Well, as a lawyer trying to learn this tech let me give you an example. Hope you know about NFTs. NFTs are collectibles in digital format and it can be digital art, virtual world, or a customised gun in any game. When you buy that stuff, you will get the ownership, and say in PubG, the gun you bought can't be sold away. But by smart contracts, you will get the ownership of the gun so that there will be more room for creativity and these customized stuff we buy can be resold as the transactions can be recorded in the online ledger. No one can copy that particular stuff as a rule based copyright infringement system works unlike an AI systems in KZbin how it works now. Similarly land records can't be changed as transactions are immutable.

[@argusfest]

Blockchain and SMART Contracts are going to micro-manage and control our lives beyond anything we can imagine. SMART is an acronym for: Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. This is about surveillance and control, not liberation. Life will increasingly become a series of conditional privileges you must earn based on criteria created by banks, corporations and governments. Think of enforcable automated terms and conditions on steroids. Of course a lawyer would be in support of this.

[@TheStubertos]

smart contract is basically an IF ... THEN function. IF x THEN do y, that is the gist of it. this is a foundation rules in software programming OR they way we do business. IF 'you give me $100', THEN ' I will give you 15 min massage'. IF 'you give me $200.000', THEN 'I will give you my house'. You get the point. Our world is run by this 'smart contract' or 'IF ... THEN ...' rules. That's basically it. This is why smart contract blockchain is going to rule the world, because our world is already run by smart contract BUT not in the blockchain. Blockchain just so that NOT ONE ENTITY controlling it. Right now, we have to 'TRUST' a person, an entity, a company, a government .... In blockchain world we don't have to 'TRUST' anyone, so it is more Neutral.

If they had used a smart contract their would be politicians behind bars and the taxpayers could've seen how the deal was executed and why it cost 2 billion.

I appreciated that. She is so nice.

So...how does it actually work? All I got out of this is that it's a vending machine for contracts. Who decides when the contract is fulfilled? How is it fullfilled? What is to prevent someone from simply not paying? This isn't discussed at all!

[@shansen008]

TO oversimplify it: Your id is on the blockchain, you decide you will buy property from another party. A smart contract is produced. Perhaps it creates an "escrow" wallet where funds for the purchase of property can be deposited. Once the purchase price is fully deposited to that wallet, the digital NFT representing the deed or ownership of that property is transferred to the new owners wallet and the crypto in the "escrow" wallet is transferred to the previous property owner. No banks involved. Oracles like chainlink and others will probably start to harvest data off the blockchain and form a sort of credit reporting service so you can tell a persons rate of default on these types of contracts. With a little imagination, the possibilities are endless.

I find it so baffling that smart contracts and related technologies haven’t received more attention! It might just be a key part of yet another technological leap forward. Here’s to 2030, when dodgy websites can’t steal your money because a smart contract has bound them to the deal!

[@Jimo225]

I'm new and trying to understand. Question. Can smart contracts eliminate fraud, such as identity fraud, mortgage fraud, etc?

[@dl662]

It can’t, but it can make the money stolen by fraudster irreversible.
