What is crypto currency?
Dear all I would like to request for a discussion around crypto currency. What role does the IGF play in the development and advancement of the invention? Are there any initiatives that have been made so far to1.) Understand the invention 2.) Establish governance and control.? Regards Meshack Sent from Samsung Mobile

Sure, we can add it to the Towel of Babel that has become the IGF discussion. :-) If nothing else it should spice things up abit… Thanks & Regards Ali Hussein ali@hussein.me.ke +254 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: Abu-Jomo LinkedIn: http//ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim Blog: www.alyhussein.com

Hi, I do not know if there has been specific discussion on crypto currency but general discussions about inventions aided or through the Internet have been discussed. Would be interesting to know whether/how crypto currency can be useful for our development as well as challenges we would face.
