The Mega-Master Blockchain* List
Draft / Work-in-Progress / Not totally consistent in its categorization
This "Twitter-sourced" list (started March 11, 2014) is an open/rough attempt to brainstorm what asset registries, keys or related items theoretically could be implemented in a blockchain model. They may or may not be good ideas to do in a blockchain or might be good in certain circumstances or others, but that is not this exercise - this is a brainstorming exercise.
* Either the bitcoin blockchain or alternative blockchains
