Wangari I think the community is already dabbling in BlockChain. What we need is a nation wide push/call to action on this new paradigm that threatens to be as game changing as the Internet itself. We also need to be very clear and categorical that financial services is just one industry that can hugely benefit from BlockChains.

Blessed Thursday!
While there is great appreciation on the possible uses of the blockchain technology, it is still strange that our vibrant tech community is not highly immersed into it.
Where is the block?
I pray that discussion forums bring out on why our techies are not publicly vibrant in this cookie jar and most of all on how to enable/support more activity.
Be blessed.

Great catch Tony. At BitHub we recently judged a hackathon dubbed #Hack4Farming that was looking at using Blockchain for supply chain and we had some local teams develop solutions around this. It was great to see interest in blockchain for providing transparency and security in tracking various aspects of food supply. You can see the photos for the event here blog post is coming soon. We will certainely see more interesting solutions in the space in the near future. regards, John On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 8:13 PM, Tony White via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: http://goo.gl/Q1RiI9
Yet another use case for blockchain technology. As security issues
become ever more critical in our electronic systems, there are so many
areas, other than finance, where this technology can be used.
Cheers,
Tony
