RE: Summer Vacations
I'm glad that you pointed that out about not being able to alter history once it's on a blockchain. If you read Homo Deus and agree with its conclusions about AIs, this is even more encouraging, because my guess is that an AI would trust things on a blockchain more than on a stand-alone Website.
And that's a really interesting tidbit about your great-grandfather. That's a story that maybe you should document :-).
I've had a similar thought before about AI. With a centralized website it's harder to verify when information was actually published, so an AI would either place more value on blockchain information or timestamp information with its own blockchain as it comes out. I haven't read Homo Deus but it sounds like I should.
Unfortunately, that's the only information I have about that particular event, and my father and grandfather have both passed away. The only person I know who might know more is one of my cousins who has done a lot of research on our family history. Interesting fact he found out, we are actually related to Solomon Northup, the free man who was captured and enslaved as chronicled in the movie 12 Years A Slave.
Anyway, I think blockchain + AI will have the potential to build a very interesting picture of human history that would be hard to accomplish with only human researchers.
Have you heard of Tau Chain? Very interesting next level AI Blockchain fusion project.

... so I just checked out Tau Chain, and now it looks like I've been sidetracked from writing and more today because Tau Chain appears so interesting that I've got to learn more ... thanks for the tip, I think :-)
Oops. Well, I hope it doesn't have you sidetracked for too long.
