And there goes the ACH settlement process and the cut that central banks
take from currency swaps. Welcome to a new era.

Four major world banks ( UBS, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and BNY Mellon
) are set to announce the creation of a new blockchain-based digital
currency, and are hoping to make it the global standard for
settlements.

IEEE is getting interested in blockchain technology. Here’s a basic article:

Mike that would be great. I'd like to get together a small group to
research together the integration of Livecode with blockchain - starting in
November. The format would be asynchronous work with some live
get-togethers.
Involvement does not need to be super-geeky. It will be a research group,
so
James, I'm always interested in what other folks are doing, and I'd like to
hear more about the setup. David, I'd definitely be interested.

Yes - I've been interested in Livecode and blockchain for a couple of years
now. I've been following Ethereum since the beginning - we tried to make a
documentary about the project and I went to DevCon 1 in Berlin as the team
started it's development.
There is an interesting online Hackathon in No

Richard, cost savings, security, privacy. Costs are drastically reduced without
hosting and its (hidden) labor/maintenance. Just think about the long record of
exploitation of hosted SQL data. Not in the models were discussing here.

Mike, I used the BitTorrent model to do my decentralization but I also put an
optional local network relay station to cover mobile's inability to listen and
to handle those circumstances where everyone's device was turned off.
My reasoning was: I wanted the data to be as local and as live as pos

What is the business benefit for this application to go
Connectivity isn't central, it's simply a failure mode that gives us an
extra wrinkle. Ignore connectivity, and just focus on getting rid of the
server, if you like. Or, design a decentralized diamond registry.

Jerry, I completely agree. It's a tool, not a solution to all of the

Richard,
The primers that were the most helpful to me are ones that are hidden
behind paywalls (but understanding Merkle trees might also help). The
easiest scenario to describe is a warehouse. Mobiles are in

Mike, the issues you are bringing are vital ones actually, not the least bit
frivolous. Blockchain is like LiveCode's executionContexts property on a global
scale. "Trust, but verify, Mr. Gorbachev."
Blockchain is distributed trust, which is real (not corporate) trust. That
said, I'd have to as
This isn't about connectivity. This is about surviving a catastrophic
failure at a central authoritative data source, by eliminating the need for
a central data source. Blockchains are not used to distribute data.
Blockchains are, in effect, streams of timestamped checksums. Embedded in
them are

If you hire IT staff that doesn't set up failover or practice disaster

Mike, follow the project via email signup here: http://botz.live
I'll be coming up for air in a few days and able to discuss more with you then.

Richard, think Delta Airlines outage. Blockchains don't just give you
distributed storage, they give you distributed trust. Being cheap, I
