Hi HN, I built Btfy, an experimental blockchain that uses weather observations as a source of unpredictability for consensus The motivation is simple. Proof of Work generates uncertainty by performing computations. I wanted to explore whether we could obtain some of that uncertainty from the real world instead. Btfy combines weather observation data with a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF): Weather Observation Data -> VDF -> Block -> Hash Chain In the current implementation, observation data is collected from multiple locations, a VDF is computed, and the result is used to generate a block.…
