[kictanet] Introducing ForceCoin

[Alex Comninos]

Thanks for this Eric

This looks very interesting.

What will ForceCoin do that Bitcoin and Ethereum will not? Whats the value
proposition for those outside of the SalesForce ecosystem?

>From preliminary research, it seems that  this is an application for
SalesForce, so would revolutionise SF, but not necessarily anything outside
of the SF ecosystem.

Also it seems to be closed source, thus its potential would be rather
opaque to those not in on it.

Thanks for this, very interested in the BlockChain workshop, can someone
send me a link? Can I follow it remotely?
