Cathodic Protection Network Blockchain.

What is a blockchain?

A blockchain is a distributed ledger of tokens that are all related to each other and each block can be owned by an individual as property that has the value of the work that resides in that token.

Each block in the CPN Blockchain is on a 32 GB, USB memory stick marked CPN BLOCKCHAIN

Each block has 38,516 files, based on science, that have resulted from my experiences, work, experimentation, research and development from 1966 until 2021.

Each block can be thought of as a library of information to which the owner has the key to the front door and the right to sell copies of any of the 'books' in the library or to use them as references when charging fees for consultancy services or utilise any of the training courses.

I have initially valued each block £100 (GBP) and have made 100 blocks. A person or company may buy 2 blocks and sell one of them at any price they want. In this way the value of every block can increase in value and this will increase the value of the whole CPN Blockchain.

Cathodic Protection Network is therefore different from other bodies representing the corrosion control world in that it is owned by all of the purchasers and the one-off price increases in value, instead of a company demanding renewal fees for membership.

Each block (USB memory) should be plugged in when the PC or device is NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET IN ANY WAY. It should then be copied to a folder labelled CPN Blockchain and the USB block should then be unplugged and stored safely. It is very valuable and unique.

In this way any attempt to steal or corrupt your unique block is totally protected by you. The key to open your block is a unique picture that is sent to you when you purchase a block. You then mark the picture in any way you choose and send it back to me. I then set this picture as the key to open your block.

Your own CPN Block is your token of value and you are the only one who can access it.

When you are using your copy of your block on the internet, any information that your use generates should be filed in the copy and that should only be added to your actual block when you computer of device is completely off line.

CPN Coordinators who have bought a block will therefore have access to all of CPN science and technology and can refer to any part of this when answering questions or in discussion with other owners in the blockchain.

In the above blockchain there are 8 blocks but in the CPN Blockchain there are 100 blocks.

The blockchain protocol will be imposed by all the computers in the chain in the way of an open ledger
