Week 4 - Systems & Services

We will spend time examining non-blockchain systems that attempt to solve some of the same problems in different ways, and talk about services that might be worth trying out. Many of these systems use different sorts of consensus algorithms in their operation, so this module also has a handful of information about those.  

We will also take a look at the increasingly easy ways that services can use blockchain to operate via the variety of blockchain-as-a-service providers.
