//This may be a silly question.
I am exploring blockchains and now working on some concept project. For that I need to have multiple users (in millions), each maintaining their own blockchain. Unlike general implementations where every one contributes to a single public ledger. I found Multichain which is the closest as it gets. Are there any other options? Also, does this sound like I am ruining the essence of blockchains with this?

Hyperledger Fabric version 1.0 will introduce channels, which will allow the creation of private channels within the fabric.
"Hyperledger Fabric v1.0 introduces network channels, which are private lines of communication between specific peers. Channels restrict data dissemination, including channel membership, transaction and state information, to peers on the same channel. Although any one peer can belong to multiple channels, the peer cannot discover or communicate with peers across channels. This partitioning of data by channel is defined by configuration chaincode and implemented by a gossip-based data dissemination protocol."
You can read more about that in this pdf - https://jira.hyperledger.org/secure/attachment/10362/FabricOverview_draft1.pdf at ## 6. Channels and chains

No problem in making a million blockchains, but the problem is 'private blockchains'; there is not a single usecase that you can achieve with private chains but not git. Also since you mention 'public ledger' I suppose you shall be storing data on the blockchain which is not a good idea since it goes expensive pretty quickly.
