April 2015: Art Brock & Eric Harris-Braun - "Just a Spoonful of Ceptr" (Webex Recording; Presentation)

Just a Spoonful of Ceptr
Ceptr evolved from the MetaCurrency Project as we needed to build distributed tools that went far beyond blockchain approaches. Ceptr provides semantic computing, a self-describing protocol stack, distributed/byzantine processing, fractal virtual machines, autonomous contracts and organizations, and more. Since it is such a wide-reaching project, we'll only be able to get a taste of it in a 1 hour webinar. So we've set up some demonstrations of how approaching things with Ceptr allows us to easily tackle problems which are normally intractable. After a bit of show and tell, we'll have time for questions and discussion about our tools and approach.
