Was reading the article below and thought it would be nice to apply such an architecture to NuLaw. The blockchain layer with the grant and motions which are tied in a irrefutable way to the database layer which holds the motions and grants itself. Anyone up to it?

Excerpt article enterprise blockchain design by Fran Stanjer:
For ease of explanation let’s take a (limited) look at a real business case we are currently exploring with some banks;
Bank-Feeds on the Blockchain:
In this design, the application layer is where the Bank, Intuit & 3rd Party sit up top and would be the interface to connect these parties and their systems into the layers below.
The diagram above further illustrates how network participants interact with the data at each layer:
- Bank writes an encrypted data record for Customer[c] to the Private Data Store.
- Bank broadcasts a transaction under Customer[c]’s address to the Blockchain with a pointer to the data record.
- Third-party [Intuit] was monitoring for transactions under Customer[c]’s address and reads the pointer.
- Third-party[Intuit] initiates a key exchange with the Bank to retrieve a shared secret for the data record.
- Third-party[Intuit] uses the shared secret to decrypt the data record and can now read the transactional data from the Private Data Store.
— end of excerpt —
The database can be maintained under the NuLaw App/header (the bank in the diagram) and the third party (Intuit in the diagram) can be the Blockchain App tying motions and custodial grants to the database. Ideally the database will be held decentralised itself. That would be a whole new level of eGov!
I’ve had to delay working on this for a bit, but i’ll check out the links when I get a chance! I still think NuLaws is really important to get into production. Especially once we get NuBits.com open sourced.

Nice episode
any update?
No recent updates. I had an idea to restructure how the validation script is approached. Though the implementation is a bit outside my technical ability, but I was working on educating myself to resolve it.
Included with the NuLaws repo would be a script that parses the blockchain directly to see if motions in NuLaws had passed. Allowing someone to assure they are using a valid NuLaw book simply by having just the blockchain and NuLaw repo. It would even notify if the NuLaw repo a user validated was incomplete by showing what hashes were not contained within the repo, but had passed on the blockchain.
I think there’s a lot of elegance and simplicity if we can have NuLaws self validate by running the validation script on any machine with the blockchain. I’m a bit too wrapped with with Nu/B&C development to get where I need to be in putting that together.
In any case my NuLawPrep repo has all of the existing motions organized into a full JSON object which is really easy to work with going forward. When I have the time to take the next steps I would like to build this kind of validation script to live with the NuLaw book.
