Re: Collaboration: IDNI (Intelligent Decentralized Networks Initiatives) Kilian Kunst <kilian@idni.org>

Thank you Killian for joining and for sharing

I am a bit tied up at the moment, but will read your paper with interest as
soon as my minds turns to the blockchain again
I have many questions and it will be great to have someone answer them
directly

Members of this list are mostly lurkers, not much engagement except for a
couple of folks to pop an email now and then

The best way to engage with this list would be, imho, to relate your work
to AI KR in terms what is there/wha needs to be done
At your convenience, please tell us what motivates your interest in our
discussions (check out the archives)
I ll be able to contribute some ideas towards this after I understand
better about the blockchain

The overall mission on the home page of the group may be a bit outdated as
things may have chaned and I myself have done
a lot of work which I have only partially shared with a slide or two and,
more to follow
Thanks for joining
