Should cryptocurrency and the blockchain be inextricably interlinked?



The Eris Industries (https://erisindustries.com) team takes a different view from most in the cryptoledger space. They view the blockchain as a pure database technology, a fault tolerant and secure developer tool to design interactive applications. They do not view the blockchain as a platform for tokens to be mined and traded.



Eris Industries' CEO, Casey Kuhlman, and COO, Preston Byrne, will present their blockchain design, Thelonious (https://thelonious.io), and their decentralised application server, the Decerver (https://decerver.io). Both are free and open-source software. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.



Casey is an engineer and a lawyer, with a background in international development. Preston is also a lawyer, with a background in securitisation and derivatives.
