Knowcoin

Inspiration

Research papers as well as textbooks costing a great deal too much

What it does

We use blockchain technologies treating the ledger as a compilation of true statements e.g. 'The sum of all the natural numbers is -1/12' And the transactions are proposals e.g. 'Yev' proposes 'a=b implies b=a' The proof-of-concept is the proving, which, for the sake of this mock-up, is manual But, in the future, the poc would be a machine learning algorithm which logically evaluates the proof

How we built it

A python flask application hosted on Microsoft Azure

Challenges we ran into

Lack of time and caffeine

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing a simple mock-up

What we learned

To bring caffeine and that quickly getting the writing the server is essential in time constraints

What's next for Knowcoin

Advancement as well the start of the free-knowledge movement
