guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips

someone who isnt me uses it to buy illegal crime drugs like marijuanas

It's ironic that the design of blockchain is to be impossible to edit as security against fraud. Because crypto is famous for all the fraud, And the block-chain's nature makes the fraud permanent and fixed.

At least one of the currencies had to fork because fraudulent transactions couldn't be undone.

They're silicone so I don't know. They're "considered safe for food use" right now.

using blockchains to track the movement of goods, like from ports or for cheese, is probably their only non-BS use case other than volatile currencies

We already do this with barcodes and QR codes, which you can just make with a printer.

it’s not news it’s shit post sry

You're not going to eat this microchip unless you are a fan of eating Parmesan rind, the part where they add a label made from casein.

I mean... I don't eat it, but I do freeze it to add to bolognese sauces when they're cooking for a long time.

Because some manager thought "Blockchain" made the whole thing sound more high tech.

I don’t get why people think putting manifests on a blockchain is a good idea.

Because you can still separate many fools from their money by adding "blockchain" to whatever you are doing.

I see here no-one has a clue and expects Italian farmers to behave like american businesses, so I'll have to explain. The ideology of Italian farmers (and pretty much all euro farmers) is pretty ugly, but also different from your typical murican grift.

In the specific case, Parmigiano-Reggiano producers are obsessed with the idea that they are losing billions to "Italian sounding" products like american Parmesan. Which they believe are sold interchangeably.

The thing that guarantees the absence of fraudolent data is that only "legal" Parmigiano producers from the Modena-Reggio-Parma area would be allowed to enter data in the system, and your american counterfeit Parmesan would be barred. Of course such a system is blind to the fact that they themselves are likely lying about the origin of their milk, but that's a feature, not a bug.

Unfortunately this is not even peak farmer craziness around here, but that's a different story (the farmer parties e.g. the dutch one are really ugly).

And this is all beside the obvious fact that Parmigiano-Reggiano is indeed the finest cheese in the world, so far ahead of the Parmesan competition that no person could mistake one for the other in a blind test. And the French and Dutch can bite me.

Probably if you want to know you should ask the people that decided on this system I doubt this was their first option

Dang ol' Wallace over here. 😂
