Is this some kind of serverless host for ruby?

I agree you need a single line that express what this is. "Zeit Now, but for ruby / rails!" or something like that

First, lack of trust doesn't imply bad actors in the system.

Second, a blockchain creates a decentralized public ledger. Patients can be owners of their records, and sign to share access. There is already a working implementation of this technique in Filecoin.

Third, PoW is the 'new technology', a blockchain is just a data structure. e.g., Binary trees are no good for the U.S. healthcare system.

I know there are politics involved, but we are not politicians, why not try to solve the problem with the tools at hand?

Sounds exactly like a proper use case for a blockchain.

Interesting read!

I find it funny how we approach this same problem every ~5 years. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/164831/how-to-rank-a-mil...)

I recently implemented a similar tool to help my team decide which brand and art references to use => http://refsort.com/

One big difference is that I focused on subjective topics, where there is no absolute 'correct' or 'better' option. In that case I think transitivity could actually decrease the quality of the result, so more 'brute force' is required.

I could probably implement this algorithm in a branch and see what happens :)
