An IOTA approach to Tracking and Lock System by Claudio Martin (H2H)
Claudio Martín from H2h-Viko talked us about how they are conducting proofs of concept with DLTs at supply chain tracking and containers locking fields. This was the only talk given in Spanish.
Serguei Popov and the Coordicide
Serguei Popov (IOTA Co-Founder) did a little introduction on how he ended up being part of IOTA and then covered the current Coordicide status, shown in the four posts serie published some days ago. He answered many questions and did some free thinking about some philosophical aspects on how the Tangle and its users should be. Very good talk, despite having some audios issues.
Eric Hop and the Qubic Computational Model
After Popov’s presentation we remotely connected with Eric Hop to get an explanation on how the Qubic Computational Model is being designed by Eric and the Qubic team. Abra, Dispatchers and Oracles were some of the concepts covered.
