[kictanet] Snippets from the BlockChain Conference happening now at Strathmore

[Erick Mwangi]

Listers,

While this is certainly huge - it's important to note Blockchain is not applicable to everything - it's a Time stamp distributed ledger. The key word is Time stamp where an existing authority is not "trusted". I can definitely see the land registry angle however am not too sure re medical records, the question would be what/why is being solved.

Wish someone from the CSs team would give us the reasoning behind this.
