I understand that Blockcerts is designed for public Ethereum and the point is to have the certificates as decentralized as possible. But I have a case where there is a network of organizations that needs a certificate system that only is used within that network. The amount of organizations in the network is big enough to kind of become a small world of their own. As the price of transaction fee for a ethereum / bitcoin public blockchain can be kind of expensive these days, the organizations are considering using a private blockchain. Does the current Blockcerts system work with a private ethereum blockchain? If not, is there any suggestions for me on how to tweak the current Blockcerts system to work with a private ethereum blockchain? Thanks. ---

I think it would be the same answer as to your previous question: [Can Blockcerts be used with R3 Corda? - #2 by lemoustachiste](https://community.blockcerts.org/t/can-blockcerts-be-used-with-r3-corda/2844/2) ---
