Last week I was honoured with the privilege of representing New Zealand at the inaugural ISO/TC-307 Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies standards committee meeting. The event was hosted by the secretariat, Standards Australia. 18 nations attended. \n\nWhile at the meeting, blockchain legend Nick Addison wrangled together a who\u2019s who of blockchain entrepreneurs for a round table discussion. We convened in the media room at the international convention center. The group grew piecemeal over the course of three hours during which we discussed everyone\u2019s projects and the state of blockchain in Australia.\xa0\nThe attendees were:\n\nTim Bass of Block 8\nBok Khoo of the Internet, and Bok Consulting\nSam Brooks CTO of Veredictum\nRussell Mclernon of Rexmls\nLuke Anderson of Sigma Prime\nSergei Sergienko of Chronobank\nMatt Hale of Divvi\n\nI\u2019ve split the conversation into two episodes so the next will be coming up soon. Before we get stuck in, I want to draw your attention to the Blockchain NZ conference and the Auckland and Wellington Blockchain Meetups. Things are gathering pace down here and with Vitalik soon to grace our shores with his presence, the whole country is abuzz. You can pick up conference tickets at a discount by following the link in this episode's notes at etherreview.info. I\u2019ll be there and everyone will be invited to my place for a barbecue in the days following.\n\nSo let\u2019s hear from they guys in Sydney. First up we have Tim Bass, on joint real estate investing, then Bok Khoo on decentralized exchanges and derivatives markets. After some general chat Sergei discusses Chronobank and Russell explains Rex before we move into discussions about usability, insurance and end user friendly key management. Finally\nSam outlines the processes behind the operation of Veredictum.\n\netherreview.info
