- sanderjd 9y agoHonest question: what are the deficiencies of current clock-in / clock-out systems that blockchain technology might help solve?
- mschuster91 9y agoNot GP, but current systems usually are not manipulation proof. Using a blockchain makes post-clock-out modifications visible immediately.
- sanderjd 9y agoSure, but what I'm curious about is: is that a real problem in practice that organizations have been fighting, or is it just a problem in theory? If I told an organization, "I've built a blockchain based time tracking system that is 100% impossible to be tampered with", would they say, "oh thank goodness this is a huge problem for us!", or would they say, "oh that's sort of neat but our tampering related loss is already within acceptable bounds"? My sense is that it would be the latter.
- ashnyc 9y agoIt is not only about being impossible being tampered with. It is about trusting the system. Since we trust the blockchain with 100 + billion dollars. trusting it for a time sheet system should not be that hard
- sanderjd 9y agoSure, but I think you're missing my point. Is this a problem that really needs a solution or is it a solution in search of a problem? Are time tracking systems not trustworthy enough already? Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but I've never heard of this issue, and it just sounds like the sort of thing that sounds like a problem to techies, but isn't really a problem in practice.
- mschuster91 9y agoTimesheet cheatery is an extreme problem - often enough timesheets are... adjusted afterwards to hide violations of labor law or simply to dock pay.
- sanderjd 9y agoInteresting! Thanks for the info.
