Cryptoledgers Community Group Proposed

The Cryptoledgers Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

This group aims at creating an international and interdisciplinary
network of researchers - academic and non-academic - interested in
exploring the economic, legal, technical and societal challenges raised
and faced by cryptoledger-based applications, such as Bitcoin or
Ethereum.
The purpose of this group is to enable peer support and collaboration
for researchers across institutions and disciplines to achieve a better
understanding of the opportunities and risks posed by cryptocurrencies
and other cryptoledger-based applications. 
This group includes those doing theoretical analysis, investigating
tools and applications that might hinder or support the adoption of
alternative cryptocurrencies, or collaborating on the development of new
tools to further promote their deployment worldwide.


This group will not publish specifications.

--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
