what, that I do not think that?
what are you trying to argue?
Your response read as "No, they wouldn't need funding" lmao
oh no.
You asked me "Do you think they won’t need funding on the blockchain?" No, I don't think that.
I do think they need funding.
How is the blockchain gonna solve that then? If anything it will make it more difficult since even more people don't know how blockchains work than people who don't know how regular web works.
I do not think blockchain would solve any funding issues. Its more so about the information and it's validity in a decentralized network. I realize blockchain is almost exclusively associated with cryptocoins, but it seems like there should be other use cases for the technology. It would be cool to have a centralized ledger of CVEs where the information is agreed upon by partners; be it various vendors, governments, and institutions.
I am definitely not a blockchain expert, or even a novice. I'm probably closer to the people that don't know how the regular web works. With the rise of de-centralized/federated social media an communications, I'd think people would be interested in a similar framework for something like the CVE database. I'm not say blockchain is the answer for this issue either, it was just an idea. An idea that people are not big fans of apparently, and that's fine. I think a different commenter mentioned using git, so there's another idea.
Regardless of the method, I see de-centralization as a benefit and hopefully other do as well.
