I'm opening space for this discussion today. A bunch of smart people have got themselves together to crack the way in which identity will need to work on any blockchain using smart contracts. It's the "nobody knows you're a robo-dog" question that I wrote about before.
We've got insurance people, software developers, litigation and arbitration experts all together in a room - some of them are shouting at each other, some of them are talking quietly and thinking deeply. There's a lot going on. I'm sitting a few yards away from a conversation about "Intentional Ambiguity" whereas down the corridor they're talking about "Key Semantics" - that's the semantics of keys - it's a thing.
It's interesting to me that most of the people who are working on blockchain systems aren't necessarily using other blockchain systems. I always suggest that people have a play with Steemit, just because many of the big issues we're all facing in a decentralized future get surfaced here in an immediate way and fortunately we're only ever dealing with tens or hundreds of dollars not the millions or billions that people are talking about here.
