In 1991, over 3 decades ago, Scott Stornetta and Stuart Haber published the paper “How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document”. This paper can be described as the invention of blockchain. In 1992 this paper won the Discover Award for Computer Software; it’s considered to be one of the most important papers in the development of blockchain and cryptocurrencies as we know them today!
WordProof founder Sebastiaan van der Lans had the pleasure to interview W. Scott Stornetta, the co-inventor of the early blockchain. It will be published as an episode of the Trusted Web Podcast soon, but you can already watch the video below.
