Today, we sit down with Luke to talk about his vision for the Railz community and learn a little about his background and work for the Railz project.

Luke is a relative newcomer to the business world, and began his journey investing in and learning about blockchain applications in early 2017, unable to merely enjoy the fruits of his investments he became determined to focus his life on the emerging technologies and found opportunity to provide support for startups undergoing their initial coin offerings.

Q1. Luke, why are you so excited about Railz?

For me to be working on a project like Railz at the cutting edge of IOT and M2M consensus has me so engaged, every day is a new opportunity to develop my own understanding and think of ways to communicate that too our quickly growing community. Life is all about development of self for me, with Railz I have the opportunity to build skills, learn and grow my abilities.

Q2. What’s different and special about Railz?

The simple answer to what’s special about Railz protocol is that the Rail Protocol is focused on enabling machine ‘negotiated consensus’ across complex negotiations by potentially billions of IoT devices. It is not trying to be just another version of Bitcoin or Ethereum.

What’s special about Railz protocol is the ‘negotiated consensus’ capabilities to allow what are essentially today ‘dumb’ IoT devices to start carrying out sophisticated negotiations with each other on a peer-to-peer basis without human interaction. For example, it could enable self-driving cars to buy and sell electricity with charging stations in a sophisticated manner where the pricing varied with the amount of electricity being bought or sold, at a specific location at a specific time.

Q3. So what do you see as the biggest challenges you face?

The biggest challenges for me will be:

Building Awareness of Railz — Using social media to inform investors of the work we are doing, promoting a brand is a big job.

Using social media to inform investors of the work we are doing, promoting a brand is a big job. Educating the Community — It’s one thing for me to build on my own knowledge of machine to machine negotiation and consensus, thinking of entertaining ways to convey that information to a constantly growing group of people represents a mammoth challenge.

It’s one thing for me to build on my own knowledge of machine to machine negotiation and consensus, thinking of entertaining ways to convey that information to a constantly growing group of people represents a mammoth challenge. Developing my Understanding of Marketing Techniques — Promoting a product effectively in the mile a minute world of blockchain applications is never easy.

Q4. On a lighter note Luke, what’s the most fun you’ve had with blockchain?

For me it’s the debates that are borderline arguments with friends and family that dont understand the tech behind the one cryptocurrency they do know, Bitcoin. it’s hard not to become evangelical about blockchain, but it’s a lot of fun teaching others about it.

Q5. What should readers do next to learn about Railz?

Join myself and Z-Robot on the Railz Telegram group, we will be issuing hourly Railz, IOT, and M2M related questions, first person to supply the correct answer earns RLZ tokens.
