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

[Ngigi Waithaka]

Eric,

  

As with every 'new' technology, we are in the "... falling in love ..." phase
right now!

  

The honeymoon will be over soon, there will be bills to be paid, and children
to take to school!

  

Then will we know the true value of distributed ledgers :-)

  

Regards

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.
