TTS 261 BlockSpaces with Rosa Shores and Chris Tyler

BlockSpaces co-founder Rosa Shores and CTO Chris Tyler join Josh and Tatiana to share the evolution of BlockSpaces from a community participating in local meetups in the Tampa area to a powerhouse of enterprise development in the blockchain space.

BlockSpaces co-founder Rosa Shores and CTO Chris Tyler join Josh and Tatiana to share the evolution of BlockSpaces from a community participating in local meetups in the Tampa area to a powerhouse of enterprise development in the blockchain space.

Rosa’s first exposure to cryptocurrency was through the lens of  libertarian economic ideology, but her corporate background led her to consider how tokens could be used for making ecommerce payment more efficient and transparent track and tracing to highlight product sourcing for brands. BlockSpaces moved to solve some B2B enterprise issues with their development services.

Josh and Tatiana ask, and Chris and Rosa answer, the questions: 

How does BlockSpaces define “enterprise” applications?
Why blockchain and not just existing database technology?
How do you insure the integrity of data at the original input?
Which issues along supply chains can blockchain solve?
Where do ideas such as Digital / Decentralized ID fit into enterprise solutions?
Does cryptocurrency have a place in enterprise solutions?
Which blockchain protocols does BlockSpaces work with?

Rosa explains another project that inspired the formation of BlockSpaces: Clearvoter.
Clearvoter is a civic engagement platform, proposed in 2014, born of the founders’ desire to employ the blockchain and cryptocurrency in a way that would provide transparency to potential voters around local policy issues, while solving some of the issues (*cough* social media *cough*) that caused division and diffusion in politics that lead to tribalism and hyper-partisanship.

If you thought you knew everything that blockchain could be used for, you definitely want to hear what Rosa, Chris, and the BlockSpaces team have in store for the enterprise world.
