The devil is in the detail and also in the minds of innovators and start ups. Back end transactions of smart contracts differ from the smart contracts in BCs with their transparency property. My colleagues see a difference and it is giving rise to new user cases. One involves the ability of all parties in a police incident to be able to validate that the legally permitted individual policeman is assigned to a specific task for that incident in real time based on his skills, training, authority etc. The rules are being executed in a distributed fashion with distributed inputs, all assured. This particular example is in the concept stage. However, there is another international logistic example. leveraging an existing pilot, that is expected to move into implementation soon. I’ll speak to Colin. We could be inviting some of the more forward BC companies to engage in the KI discussion. regards, Patrick Patrick Curry Director British Business Federation Authority - BBFA Ltd M: +44 786 024 9074 T: +44 1980 620606 patrick.curry@bbfa.info www.bbfa.info – a not-for-profit, self-regulating body On 28 Aug 2016, at 20:07, James Hazard <james.g.hazard@gmail.com> wrote: Yes, IPFS is a very useful resource.

If smart contracts are published on well known URI’s, then agreeing to them by signing the contract and putting the MAC on the blockchain provides some level of assurance. This becomes even more powerful when the smart contract can accept or negotiate terms and what gets recorded on the blockchain memorialized the terms freely negotiated by both parties bots. ???

I think there is still a lot of confusion about the promise of smart-contracts executing collectively on a syntax-rich set of nodes, vs the very limited Bitcoin-blockchain of today. Maybe BSC-DG could come up with our own new terms or language to describe the possible features of smart contracts. /thomas/ ___________________________________ On Aug 27, 2016, at 11:48 PM, John Wunderlich <john@wunderlich.ca <mailto:john@wunderlich.ca><mailto:john@wunderlich.ca <mailto:john@wunderlich.ca>>> wrote: https://theconversation.com/blockchain-really-only-does-one-thing-well-62668 <https://theconversation.com/blockchain-really-only-does-one-thing-well-62668> Thanks, John 4giv spellin errurz from mobile devize This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
