The following is a story inspired by the concepts found in Mark Gates' book, Blockchain: Ultimate Guide to Understanding Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts and the Future of Money . The Ledger of the Lone Fridge

Within twenty minutes, a drone hovered at his window. The transaction was etched forever into the "decentralized ledger," a tamper-resistant record of a simple quart of milk.

In a world where digital ghosts managed the flow of every penny, Elias lived in a small apartment that felt more like a server room than a home. On his shelf sat a dog-eared paperback titled Blockchain: Ultimate Guide to Understanding Blockchain , a gift from a friend who claimed it was the blueprint for the "greatest technological revolution in history".

About FLR

The FLR project has been developing and providing fishery scientists with a powerful and flexible platform for quantitative fisheries science based on the R statistical language. The guiding principles of FLR are openness, through community involvement and the open source ethos, flexibility, through a design that does not constraint the user to a given paradigm, and extendibility, by the provision of tools that are ready to be personalized and adapted. The main aim is to generalize the use of good quality, open source, flexible software in all areas of quantitative fisheries research and management advice.
