@therealwolf - I am consulting on a project that would traditionally be implemented in a large database for data mining, but I believe could be a great candidate for a DLT for various reasons such as consensus and independent contributors that will have access to the data. My question is: can the data be protected (at least portions of it) because of privacy concerns? The data can easily be stored in a JSON or XML file format and specific fields can be encrypted. A DApp would work will as the UI, and a server app could do the heavy lifting of statistical analysis and data correlation. But the data privacy and intellectual property considerations may be too difficult to overcome on a public network. Any insights you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
