Tuesday, February 21
Agenda:
- Report work
Attending: Eve, Susan, Thomas, John, Devon
We examined our Technologies definition of "blockchain" and Steve Wilson's email critique, and are satisfied that it shouldn't excite antibodies among the experts (see this blog post).
AI: Eve: Add a terminology definition of "blockchain" (cheekily pointing to the blog post).
AI: Eve: Share Jim H's Wise Contracts paper with Devon et al.
Jim H and Eve had a mind meld about how he believes P2P is the main value of decentralization, not the blockchain technology part.
Eve can't run the Thursday call; she'll ask if Thomas can.
