Re: [kictanet] Introducing ForceCoin
Afternoon Everyone, A couple of mates from MIT have been involved in starting a new global currency called ForceCoin. This will run on top of SalesForce and will be VF developed by the global community like Ethereum. Current members are Deloitte, Accenture, IBM, Cannon, KLM etc They have been working with SalesForce the second largest enterprise cloud providers of CRM in the world, this will be built on top of their platform - this will solve identity problems and ownership of platforms as this will be a completely private blockchain that works as a public one. SalesForce is a pure cloud company unlike Amazon with literary every institutional investor having a stake in it - Hoping banks will come on-board.. On Monday 12th December 2016 ForceCoin plans to replace Bitcoin as a new virtual global currency! What a time to be alive.. https://www.ethereum.org/ http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/crm/institutional-holdings With Regards, E Njoroge Mwangi Technology| FINTECH | Big Data Cell +44 7539372742 <+44%207539%20372742> Skype: Erick.mwangi
Eric Good stuff...it reminds me of the speeding train. You have three options:- 1. Jump onto the bandwagon. 2. Step aside and be subjected to the annals of history as a dinosaur or 3. Resist change and get crushed. Either way progress stops for nobody!

Thanks for this Eric This looks very interesting. What will ForceCoin do that Bitcoin and Ethereum will not? Whats the value proposition for those outside of the SalesForce ecosystem?
From preliminary research, it seems that this is an application for SalesForce, so would revolutionise SF, but not necessarily anything outside of the SF ecosystem.
Also it seems to be closed source, thus its potential would be rather opaque to those not in on it. Thanks for this, very interested in the BlockChain workshop, can someone send me a link? Can I follow it remotely? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/global-hackers-challenge-forcecoin-vs-bitcoin... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-blockchain-change-salesforce-jiri-kram On Wed, 7 Dec 2016 at 13:54 Erick Mwangi via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
