Talk:Hybrid blockchains

Promotional essay
I read this sort of essay a whole lot in my capacity as a blockchain journalist - strings of assertions, cited to other assertions, lots of promotional content, all furiously confusing "could" and "is". It's fundamentally a form of marketing for consultants, that pretty much never results in real-world production systems - the idea is to confuse the reader into thinking that things that don't exist, do.

I would have marked it for deletion, as the term "hybrid blockchain" is barely used in mainstream third-party Reliable Sources - the Martin Walker ref should be good, though (I'll check it in detail later).

I cut some of the absolute worst from this essay and tagged bits that might be recoverable with effort.

But this is a very bad article with very bad sourcing. How can we fix it up? What do we have on hybrid blockchains that is a Reliable Source - either mainstream third-party press coverage, or peer-reviewed academic coverage? - David Gerard (talk) 19:48, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Funny, I came to the talk page to ping you and ask your opinion as I too have never heard of such as a thing.  and  you guys as well. Is this something real or just a candidate for AfD? Jtbobwaysf (talk) 07:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The term seems to mean something, "hybrid blockchain" turns up a lot of academic hits - though I haven't looked how good they are, or if the term actually has a consistent meaning - David Gerard (talk) 13:09, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

No-one could be bothered either ... someone finally created a section in blockchain with the one solid third-party RS documenting that this is even a thing, so I've redirected this there - David Gerard (talk) 21:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
