In chapter 12, the author introduces issues to address when integrating blockchain apps with legacy applications. Which of the differences between blockchain and legacy systems discussed in chapter 12 do you think would be the one that carries the most risk? How could this risk be realized? (Give at least 2 examples). Briefly describe how you would address this risk in your blockchain app design.

• Create a new thread (by the FIRST DUE DATE)
  • Identify a difference between blockchain apps and legacy applications discusses in chapter 12 that you think carries the greatest risk.
  • Explain how the chosen difference from the previous point would result in a risk and how that risk could be realized. (Provide at least 2 examples.)
  • Briefly describe how you would address this risk in your blockchain app design.

I’m interested to read what YOU learned from this week’s reading (and any further research). Do NOT submit a research paper. Tell me what you think.

• Think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread.
  • The questions must be taken from material you read in Chapter 12, and each question should start a discussion topic.
  • You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.
• Finally, go to three other students’ threads and post comments, answering at least one of their questions.
  • For EACH comment you post, use the 3CQ approach (described above.)
  • When someone asks you a question, answer it!

ALL threads and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

The discussions in this class exist to simulate face-to-face discussions. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation.

Here is a description of the 3CQ model:

1. Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post. For example:

• Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked …

2. Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree. For example:

• I agree with you about …
• I respect your opinion, but I think …

3. Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details. For example:

• I can connect with you about …
• I once read a story about …
• I had the same thing happen to me…

4. Question – Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!

Remember that ALL discussions must use the 3CQ approach to interaction.
