Thinking twice about it, there is something exciting here about the concept.

Of all databases, sqlite has this special interest : it's the perfect tool to be embedded as local database in clients.

Now, if we consider that blockchain is a new p2p effort to build decentralized softwares, putting sqlite on a blockchain makes a lot of sense : this is a mean to distribute data for decentralized apps.

It also makes sense in an era where data mining becomes a thing on its own, and not just as part of a software stack.

Now, this is clearly not a drop in for our usual database on our server (where latency and concurrent writing is the topmost concern, two points which are blockchains weak points - and sqlite weakpoints), but there is certainly something to explore there.

See https://github.com/pixelspark/catena - does exactly this.

Love this. Catana and Daisy have different approaches, Daisy is distributing databases that can bootstrap an offline app, while Catana is truly a decentralized online database. Both are really interesting ideas, thanks for pointing it out!
