Graphinate is a python library that aims to simplify the generation of Graph Data Structures from Data Sources.

It can help create an efficient retrieval pipeline from a given data source, while also enabling the developer to easily map data payloads and hierarchies to a Graph.

In addition, there are several modes of output to enable examination of the Graph, and it's content.


This is nonsense. What he describes is not a oroblem with the Blockchain but a problem with the security of the "wallet" of keys. That is a basic issue with any system that has security. If someone gets the "keys" (password, access etc. ) he can whatever he want.

The solution make the "locking mechanism" more complex. Add additional / multiple keys.

Methodolgies to secure system are all ready used. Wgat blockchain adds is a datastore that is more tamper proof (while adtionaly adding decentralization and fault tolerance using consensus mecahniam).

Any system can have vulnerabilities. Blockchain-like technologies may have the potential abilty to reduce and/or eliminate some of them.


No. The security issues is an arbitrary example. The actual problem is that when a disagreement between the legal system and the database, whether or not its blockchain.

Courts are the source of truth concerning ownership. The legal system needs the ability to overrule or edit the db, otherwise the blockchain is inaccurate.

You can think of "security problem" as an armed robber forcing you to reveal your password. With Bitcoin, they now have the coins and there's no going back. It doesn't matter that a court doesn't consider the robber to be the owner. Bitcoin doesn't represent anything outside of the blockchain. With a painting, stock or deed, something outside of blockchain needs to honour your blockchain claim. If the blockchain is unreliable, they won't, and it no longer reflects true ownership.

If your blockchain isn't the fundamental source of truth, there's really no point. Instead of a centralised db, you have centralised control over a distributed DB.


The other problem he's circling around is how you remediate a worst-case scenario of theft, losing the keys, etc.

For the layperson there's not much they can do right now, but there is a lot of thought being put into the issue.
