where is the blockchain for my grandma?

Blockchain technology has been gaining traction. So much that now the main
question is "where is this not applicable". There is a lot of confusion
about the applicability of this technology; or, is it that this is a magic
solution for every problem under the sun?

There is research using this tech and there is also a lot of research
improving this tech. We want to hear about it. Please consider submitting
to our special issue:

https://datasciencehub.net/content/special-issue-distributed-ledgers-making-data-science-more-open-transparent-and-accountable

We welcome mature and ongoing work on algorithms, systems, experiments,
benchmarks, and analyses, as well as position statements and visions of
technology addressing, but not limited to, the following issues:

   - Architectures and implementations
   - Consensus algorithms for distributed ledgers
   - Smart contract languages and execution algorithms
   - Smart contract resilience and formal verification
   - Proof-of-work, proof-of-stake and other proof mechanisms
   - Scalability of distributed ledgers
   - Interoperability of DL platforms, and between DLs and other data
   management systems
   - Public and private ledgers
   - Algorithms and approaches to analyse DL data and transactions
   - Digital rights management on the blockchain
   - Distributed payment systems
   - Applications of DLs to facilitate reproducibility, scientific data
   reuse, and self-publishing.
   - Applications of DLs in other domains.
