You just finished eating with a group and the server brings the bill. This is the worst part of the meal and it happens everytime. "How are we splitting it?" There's always that person that tries to ignore, hoping they slip by without paying. Someone trying to convince everyone to split it because they got the most expensive meal. And finally, the person that pays for the bill and spend the next few days chasing people around to pay for their share. This is a problem of trust, and Blockchain and smart contracts can help. Prior to the meal, a ledger of orders for each participant is created. Couples can choose to combine their ledgers, or people going solo have their own. Upon the end of the meal, a user can confirm to close their ledger and it charges them according to what they order. If the party chooses, they can combine their ledgers and equally distribute the bill -- which will be automatically charged to their account associated. This creates an openness in case someone needs to leave early, and prevents people from dining and dashing. The smart contract will take care of charging people the correct amount and prevent anyone from shirking the bill.

Within healthcare it is difficult to choose a good provider. This is due to many reasons including lack of a central portal for viewing physician reviews. Currently people just rely on google reviews or some websites but the data is sparse and unverifiable. A decentralized network would allow patients to post candid reviews, including how they interacted, how their symptoms were treated, and other notes about their provider. These comments would be untraceable to the poster and others who had similar experiences could boost those reviews.

Your problem is clearly stated and I've come across the problem before too.

I could see how decentralization would be relevant here because the blockchain can verify that the reviews come from real people that have interacted with the provider.

This could great valuable network effects! great work.

The only thing I'm thinking about is that some providers don't have many patients. Their reviews can still be traced back, especially if the review the date, symptoms, care plan, written within them.

Use Case: Regulation Problem: Regulation is made by institutions or politicians, who are in the most of the time, corrupted and don't serve the interest of the common good. Solution: Take away the corrupted 3rd party and let the network of the people set the regulations based on a specific protocol. As an example: - When a rule is tested, verified and validated. Then, it should be set. - The contributors to the rule will receive coins for their work, the participants can all criticize the rule and present counter-arguments. Participants shall be awarded for finding wholes in the rules. - A rule is valid as long as no counter-argument is found. As soon as a specific case is not addressed by the rule, then the rule must be changed or replaced. Implementation: The whole idea comes from building a decentralized system, where we all agree on and live in peace and love. This system shall have the following basic properties - Transparency - Open for critics from everyone - Modifiable - Science-based (as much as possible) Sounds like the principles from cryptocurrencies, doesn't it? For the start, a game can be developed where participants are citizen of Planet X, who have the same constraints of life as humans. Citizen of the Planet X should find a set of regulation to govern the life in Planet X. This regulation will be implemented later as code, e.g. for penalties against unlawful acts. The main goal is to develop a set of rules that will govern this planet so that people live organized and in peace. All citizens can participate in developing new rules, and they are also rewarded for find wholes in the rules. Why Blockchain? The software running this game is not centralized, but run on a decentralized network. This means no one controls where this life simulation will go except for its participants. Can humans achieve building a functioning system without governments and politicians? How would it look like? How Blockchain will work in practice? Blockchain will work as a transparent storage data of all the rules that have been set and their evaluations. It can support the currency of the game. It can store information about participants, etc.

Regulation is a relevant problem in Blockchain, thank you for explaining your idea clearly. Your writing was passionate toward decentralization and how blockchain would be relevant.

I will note that this scenario may be too idealized. "A rule is followed as long as no counter-argument is found."

There isn't always a clear "right or wrong" and it really depends on the context. Everyone can have a counter-argument for everything, based on their own life-experiences.

I would also venture to say it's not so much about agreeing to live in peace,love,unity etc, it's about incentivizing it.
