How are you going to store all the data on a blockchain? Such a technologies are not available yet. How will it be possible to download 100 terabyte node?

The technology is available. It's called IPFS. (interplanetary file system). And you don't store all data on the blockchain, you just put the transactions there.

Storing all the data would be meaningless i guess.

Yeah I think it won't be necessary, it won't be beneficial to anyone, it will just be a waste of space. I think what's really important to store are the transactions and the information about the vehicles and their owners. Speaking of owners though, what information from the owners will be stored in the blockchain? And will the owners need to present any documentations to prove that they're really the owners of the cars? And how can users register on the blockchain do you require any proof of identification?
The information about the owner will be written in the blockchain as the person buys a car, so he doesn't need to prove anything. It's like when you buy a car you get a paper that it's yours, the same with the blockchain, first the data is written in the blockchain, and only after that you get a car. Please refer to the Whitepaper, page 29 for more info.

As for the registration on the blockchain, I don't really understand what you mean. Blockchain contains all the info about what happened with a car during it's lifecycle, the users (if you mean just the people who wants to get info about the car) don't need to register anywhere, they could get this info for free whenever they want.

But there are name collisions. There are so many people with the same name. If you want to know the history of ownership of a second hand car for whatever reason, for example an accident or theft, would a unique public ID not be better than a name?
The car has an ID (vin number), you can check all the info about the car, like crashes, services, parts installed etc. The main purpose of the blockchain is not to give you info about who owned the car, but what happened with it. For me it doesn't matter if Gomer Griffin or Peter Simpson was the owner of the car Smiley

I've been reading the whitepaper and i don't understand how does this work:

Quote
VLB Tokens Value Drivers

Main driver for VLB Tokens value growth is their turnover through the system, which will
increase in line with the blockchain system development. As each Paying participant shall
be required to spend 1 VLB Token on each transaction and there are on average 3.5 Paying
Participants per each transaction we expect that demand for VLB Tokens will increase in
the next 5 years by 16+ times to 4.4 bln per year, making each VLB Token turn 18 times
per year
Such demand and rapid turnover will significantly impact the price of VLB Tokens. Given
t
the potential cost savings and revenue opportunities for Industry Participants (see Appen-
dix A), VLB Tokens price may increase 50-100x once the Vehicle Lifecycle Blockchain is fully
deployed


If the value of VLB keeps rising and the vlb fee stays the same, doesn't that fee eventually get too high for users?

What are the hardware and software requirements for supporting VLB as an industry participant? For example, do car owners need to install a software application and register their identity?

No, everything will be on-line.

Yes makes sense to me. I see on carfix website that there is a promotion about Shell Helix motor oil, I was wondering if in the future you'll add promotions for using on chain services, or maybe tokenize those promotions (example, 30% discount if you pay with vlb)
VLB tokens will be used only to pay for blockchain validation, it won't be able to use the tokens to pay for something else (like motor oil or car repair services).

If I understand correctly, VLB is going to give every industry participant a public ID and private key and store the information of the participants together with their public ID in a database.

How will car owners be identified? Will their public ID be associated with a government issued ID number?

Blockchain will keep: VIN number, dates, repairshops ID, etc. So it won't be a huge size of data in fact.

You will have your own blockchain with information about the history of the car. And how your ERC20 tokens will be tied to this your blockchain, if they work on the ETH blockchain. This question is not clear. I beg you to clarify.

VLB tokens will be used only in our blockchain. Before we deploy our own blockchain we won't have any transactions, our tokens will be just traded on public exchanges.

I agree it would not be a bad idea, because marketing is an important part of any start-up, it would be great if as many people as possible learned about this project

tetrabytes of dates thet can travel along the transactions without clogging blockchain, very impressive i did not know(before) about existence of a similar technology...adding a loan car service to the project it would not be a bad idea...
