BLOCKCHAIN CONSUMER LEDGER
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for interacting with a consumer ledger. The systems and methods include: receiving a copy of the consumer ledger from one of a plurality of miners; adding a transaction to the consumer ledger; and transmitting the consumer ledger to the plurality of miners for conformation.
1 . A method for verifying a transaction posted to a consumer ledger, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device and from a portable computing device, a copy of the consumer ledger and a transaction posted to the consumer ledger;
verifying, by the computing device, that a currency utilized in the transaction posted to the consumer ledger has not been used in a previous transaction; and
transmitting, by the computing device, the copy of the consumer ledger to a plurality of miners.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a verified miner of the plurality of miners.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction posted to the consumer ledger includes a plurality of transactions.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of transactions includes transactions across a plurality of loyalty rewards programs.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein verifying that the currency utilized in the transaction has not been used in a previous transaction occurs in less than 1 minute.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting further includes signing the copy of the consumer ledger by a majority of the miners.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving further includes pulling the copy of the ledger from a blockchain.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein verifying further includes utilizing a public key and an address associated with the transaction to verify an owner of loyalty rewards authorized for the transaction.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein verifying further includes verifying the transaction utilizing a known or trusted entity.
10 . The method of claim 1 further comprising adding the transaction to the copy of consumer ledger over utilizing blockchain operations.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein adding further includes causing multiple entries to be made to credit and debit various account balances simultaneously based on adding the transaction to the copy of the consumer ledger.
12 . The method of claim 1 further comprising, processing the transaction via a wallet application
13 . A method, comprising:
obtaining, at a computing device and from a portable computing device, a copy of the consumer ledger;
adding, by the computing device, a transaction of a consumer to the copy of consumer ledger; and
causing, by the computing device, the copy of the consumer ledger to be verified and added to a blockchain.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein obtaining further includes interacting with a wallet application of the portable computing device during the transaction of the consumer.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein interacting further includes using information obtained from the interaction with the wallet application to pull the copy of the consumer ledger from the blockchain.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein adding further includes using a public key and an address associated with the transaction to verify the consumer as an owner of loyalty rewards authorized for the transaction.
17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein adding further includes verifying the transaction with a known or trusted entity.
18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein causing further includes signing a majority of miners on the blockchain the copy of the consumer ledger once added to the blockchain.
19 . A system, comprising:
a processor;
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the process to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, from a portable computing device, a copy of the consumer ledger;
adding a transaction of a consumer to the copy of consumer ledger; and
causing the copy of the consumer ledger to be verified and added to a blockchain.
20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the processor, further cause the process to perform operations comprising verifying the transaction with a known or trusted entity.
