In fact, just as the cloud displaced legacy enterprise applications, decentralized ledgers will soon replace centralized cloud-based systems. One reason is decentralized ledgers are simply technologically superior to centralized ones.29 Mar 2018
Blockchain increases trust, security, transparency, and the traceability of data shared across a business network — and delivers cost savings with new efficiencies.
Blockchains only differ from other database types by the way they store data. While blockchains can be considered a database, a database is typically not a blockchain. Databases generally don’t use signed blocks to store the data.
What will replace blockchain?
Hashgraph is known for its speed as it can handle thousands of transactions per second and verify over a million signatures per second. It can be called the new generation of blockchain and may well take over blockchain technology by proving its worth and authenticity.
Today’s web is also filled with concerns around data privacy, fake news, identity theft hacks. Web2 is centralized and a few corporations hold the power of data. Kumar quotes: “If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer. You’re the product.” Ed: me too! He believes that the problem is that we don’t own or control that data, and this concept gets changed on Web3.
Backdating Documents — The FactsWhilst it might be tempting at times, backdating a document is never the answer! Backdating a document is potentially a criminal offence under section 17 (false accounting) or section (false statements by company directors) of the Theft Act 1968 and in certain circumstances it may also constitute forgery or conspiracy to defraud. From your lawyer’s point of view, it’s also contrary to the rules of professional conduct for English solicitors. Aside from the more obvious deterrents referred to above, another important reason to not backdate a document, is that it simply isn’t necessary.However, under English law, a contract can create (or confirm) rights relating to past events so there’s no need for them to be backdated.
Is Backdating Ever Okay? Its legitimacy depends upon its purpose and effect. It is improper, of course, to date a document on one date, but the event occurred on a different, later date. However, not all backdating involves fabrication. However, not all backdating involves
fabrication: The action of fabricating or ‘making up’; the invention (of a statement); the forging (of a document). Also concrete. An invention; a false statement; a forgery. (OED)
Backdating can also involve the practice of dating a document on the date the event occurred even if it is not signed until later. Here, the event occurs before the document evidencing it can be executed, and the document simply memorializes the earlier event. This is both a common and legitimate use of backdating.
Backdating Definition USA again. Backdating is the practice of marking a document, whether a check (cheque!), contract, or another legally binding document, with a date that is prior to what it should be. Backdating is usually disallowed and can even be illegal or fraudulent based on the situation. Sometimes though, backdating can be acceptable; however, the parties involved must agree to it.
There isn’t any - but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Backdating contracts and other documents and instruments | Insights | Harneys (BVI) if one simply disregards the criminal aspects, falsely dating a document may negate the document under other common law doctrines such as non est factum (“not my deed”) or the rule in Pigot’s Case such that in the eyes of the courts, the document is treated as though it does not exist. EDIT: So that’s “no evidence presented”.
CONCLUSION
There is no conclusion because each matter hinges on its own exact facts. However, clearly to be avoided given the interface with criminal law and false accounting.
Why a Supplier Using Windows 11 as a File Server Might Recommend 4 Users Instead of 5
If a supplier is using Windows 11 as a file server and limits usage to 4 users, the reason is likely due to built-in Microsoft limitations and practical experience with performance and licensing. Here’s a breakdown.
Windows 11 File Sharing Limits
Microsoft imposes limits on how many users can access shared files on desktop editions of Windows.
Windows Edition
Simultaneous File Sharing Users (Realistic)
Technical Limit
Windows 11 Home
1–2 users
Not designed for sharing
Windows 11 Pro
3–5 users max (often 4 recommended)
~20 inbound SMB sessions
Windows Server
50+ users
Scalable via licensing
Why 4 Might Be the Suggested Limit
1. Stability and Performance
While 5+ users may technically connect, performance degrades.
Desktop editions are not optimised for concurrent file server operations.
2. File Locking and Conflict Risk
Shared access to the same files can cause conflicts or corruption.
Limiting to 4 users reduces concurrent access pressure.
3. Microsoft Licensing
Windows 11 is licensed for individual use, not heavy multi-user file serving.
Keeping users below 5 aligns better with Microsoft’s intent for “small workgroup use.”
4. Support Simplicity
More users = more chances for access errors, lockouts, or system instability.
4-user setups are easier to support and more predictable.
If You Need 5+ Users Accessing Shared Files Reliably
To support more users with high availability:
Use Windows Server (2022/2025)
Designed for file sharing
Supports dozens or hundreds of concurrent users
Includes robust sharing, locking, and access control tools
Use a NAS (e.g. Synology, QNAP)
Purpose-built for file sharing
Affordable and scalable
Supports Windows/Mac/Linux clients
Summary Table
Reason for 4-User Limit
Explanation
Microsoft’s OS Design
Desktop Windows is not meant for multiple concurrent file users
Session Limits
Windows 11 Pro has a ~20 session cap, but fewer reliable file sessions
File Conflict Risk
More users increase file lock and corruption risk
Performance
Degrades when multiple users access simultaneously
Licensing Caution
Keeping below 5 users aligns with personal/workgroup EULA intent
Recommendation
If your business requires 5 or more users accessing shared data reliably and simultaneously:
Do not rely on Windows 11 as a file server
Instead, use Windows Server or a dedicated NAS appliance for stability, scalability, and compliance
