Hashing It Out #15: Ryan John King & Kristoffer Josefsson - FOAM
from The Bitcoin Podcast · host Corey Petty, Demetrick Ferguson, Jessie Santiago
We discuss with Ryan and Kristoffer from FOAM about their protocol which verifies location in a blockchain. Their innovative protocol uses LoRa, blockchain consensus, and a triangulation mechanism called Proof of Location to verify an agents location at a certain point in time. Using their proposed Crypto Spatial Standard, entities can report their location to the blockchain which agent devices known as "anchors" verify for use in consensus applications. Truly amazing technology with massive implications!
