Chainpoint Welcome!

Hello All,

Thank you for joining the Chainpoint Community Group!


For over a year, I’ve worked with many of you on evolving Chainpoint
<http://chainpoint.org/> - a standard for creating a universally verifiable
proof of any data, file, or series of events by anchoring data to the
blockchain and other sources. Chainpoint has been a major topic of
discussion at several W3C events and dozens of W3C participants have
provided feedback.  On August 15th, we made good on our commitment from the W3C
Blockchains And The Web Workshop
<https://www.w3.org/2016/04/blockchain-workshop/report> and launched a
major update to Chainpoint.

We've even started to get some press! At the beginning of September, this
Fedscoop article
<http://fedscoop.com/web-consortium-starts-work-on-blockchain-standards>
appeared where a  Doug Schepers from W3C cited Chainpoint as an example of
a blockchain technology that has made significant progress down the
standardization path.


I look forward to working with everyone to create a stable and widely
adopted standard. I'd like to recognize the following individuals that
played a significant role in creating the latest version of Chainpoint.
