Welcome @gverdian for our biweekly AMA. Congratulations on INATBA and great to see the details of the hackathon emerge.
t.me/QuantOverledger/121993

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Thank you for INATBA. It's such a huge initiative and we're honoured to be a founding member to help achieve the vision and goal.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122000

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
The scale of INATBA is not just for the EU but International, supported by the EU (European Commission) to help with the following: 1) Maintain a permanent and constructive dialogue with public authorities and regulators that will contribute to the convergence of regulatory approaches to blockchain and other distributed ledger technology globally. 2) Promote an open, transparent and inclusive global model of governance for blockchain and other distributed ledger technology infrastructures and applications. A model that reflects the shared interests of stakeholders from industry, start-ups and SMEs, civil society organisations, governments and international organisations. 3) Support the development and adoption of interoperability guidelines, specifications and global standards, to enhance trusted, traceable, user-centric digital services. Upholding an open, transparent and inclusive method of multi-stakeholder cooperation. 4) Develop sector-specific guidelines and specifications for the development and acceleration of trusted sectorial blockchain and DLT applications in specific sectors (i.e. financial services, health, supply chain, energy and financial inclusion).

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We noticed the new Partners section on the site - looks great! We also hadn't heard much about UKCloud and AWS. What is the extent of these 'Partners'? Is Overledger just being offered as a service available on the AWS Platform? Can we expect some additional information on UKCloud involvement?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122030

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We're making a lot of changes to our external facing channels. We can update what we're doing with partners and make the appropriate announcements as they're lined up. More to come

Q: "Previously, you introduced Quant developers as the "resident Bitcoin Guru" or as an ETH expert, or proficent in Ripple. As Overledger expands its scope of chains, such as Stellar and Corda, will you be hiring "resident experts" to manage these connectors? How will Overledger develop its suite of connectors otherwise?"
t.me/QuantOverledger/122032

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Yes we are hiring experts that specialise in particular technologies plus also opening them up to the community to contribute with our support and QA checks. We have 2 new roles we're putting out shortly to help fill a gap

Q:The overledger technology as it stands right now, could this also be used for projects like DEXes to implement cross-chain trading, or is it mainly targeting connecting enterprises to different blockchains in a seamless manner?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122039

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
You know, we had that discussion with a very large US financial services company last week. I think it's time to realise and acknowledge that traditional FS companies are very active in this space now. They bring regulation, governance and mass market capabilities with lots of institutional and retail clients. The news in the last couple of weeks with JPM, Fidelity Digital Asset, SIX, Deutsche Borsche is a pivital moment where digital assets are accepted and embraced. It's only going to get bigger!
t.me/QuantOverledger/122040

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Has the team reached out to Zcash foundation? JP Morgan has hinted on using Zero Knowledge security logic from Zcash in their quorum blockchain. Opportunity to collaborate is always there with Quant 😉
t.me/QuantOverledger/122041

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We haven't spoken to the Zcash team. We already have our version of Zero Knowledge Proofs with our TrustTag technology implemented and live in Overledger. Imagine the possibilities of what can done on permissionless blockchains while maintaining confidentiality!
t.me/QuantOverledger/122042

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
How has the development of ISO TC 307 gone in conjunction with Overledger's design? Is there a close relationship between the reference architecture of 307 and Overledger? Do you anticipate multiple 307 compliant Overlay services to emerge besides Quant's, and, if so, how would there be reconciliation between these implementations?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122043

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We're very active in the different TC307 work groups and study groups, by chairing the UK mirror commitee DLT/1 at the BSI and also founding TC307 in 2015. I now chair SG7 which is the Interoperability study group where we're creating an interoperability framework for the ISO Standard. We're actively contributing and shaping the work happening across ISO. Like any other technology company, we'll make sure our tech complies to the Standard when it is finalised and released

An often overlooked aspect of your vision is to link the Internet itself to Blockchain via Overledger. You refer to Quant IPs. Could you briefly discuss what Quant IPs are and they how the work in conjunction with Overledger?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122045

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
That work is a longer term vision. But we've had a breakthrough for Internet 4.0 which we call the Internet of Trust. We've managed to deliver the Web with HTML1.0 across multiple blockchains using Overledger. We're serving web content in HTML across multiple networks without the need for web servers, databases etc. It's only the beginning and we're excited to see where this goes! We demoed the first version of this at QuantX in November and will be releasing an update to this
t.me/QuantOverledger/122046

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
How does the roadmap for exchanges look, liquidity will be a growing issue as we approach the launch of Treasury? Are we still expecting an OTC exchange, or another one under NDA? Also, as the space matures and your natural collaboration with large Enterprises and Corporates, will large regulated exchanges be a point of interest for you? Thank you.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122047

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We have delivered so far on our exchange strategy. But do have another tier 1 under NDA which we can't discuss. As mentioned the digital asset space has matured and I'm pretty sure more and more traditional exchanges will be listing more digital assets along traditional instruments and derivatives.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122048

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
What could be the panoramic view of the industrial protocols (HART, ZigBee, OBD, etc in the present) viewed through the use of blockchains by Overledger implementation?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122049

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We have been surprised and forward thinking the IoT space is especially with our involvement in MOBI. The applications for this are huge and we've even made prototypes of only allowing a physical device to turn on and operate once a payment has been made. It's a game changer and we're glad to be heavily active in this space. The thing we like, is that there can be many protocols and platforms. They can be more effective and beneficial if they all interoperate. Create a new iecosystem of M2M, B2B, B2C, B2B2C applications.

What does Quant team think of Oraclize offering Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)supported by Trusted Execution Environment? Can we expect some progress from Quant's side in this space?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122051

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We are already starting to integrate into HSMs. All financial services networks need to use HSMs to manage key exchanges to comply to regulation. We're being proactive to build that capability into Overledger today.

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
How is work progressing with HMRC and could GoVerify become a replacement for gov.uk's failed Verify service? Has client demand for GoVerify remained strong?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122053

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Gov UK Verify is again authenticating the citizen to organisations. We're doing the reverse. Authenticating the organisation to the consumer.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122054

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
I'm also happy to unveil the new version of www.goverify.com today.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122055

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
We're doing a big push to clients to help tackle the source of fraud: GoVerify protects people from impersonation and deception fraud by validating the correspondence received from a trusted organisation is genuine without have to disclose any personal information.

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
You mentioned an Overledger dashboard to track volume/transactions in the future. Is this an immediate goal, or something perhaps for later in the year?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122062

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Yes the first dashboard is already in the developer portal. We're expanding that out to show more metrics to the public, kind of like the pulse of Overledger as it is running
t.me/QuantOverledger/122063

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
You've mentioned Stellar and Corda as two Blockchains you are looking to connect .. Have you seen strong customer demand for any other Blockchains to connect to Overledger? Are other Chain developers looking to connect themselves?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122064

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Our Enterprise customers have been asking for Corda and now Stellar which we're working on. Another client uses a version of Hyperledger which already have connectors for. But we're looking at market demand to add others. The on-ramp patterns are published and anyone can start creating their own connectors and submit to us to review and approve to add to Overledger.
t.me/QuantOverledger/122065

Question(s):

Luke  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
Once the new marketing hire signs the papers, can she start straight away marketing Quant or does she need to fulfill a term on her previous job?
t.me/QuantOverledger/122066

Answer(s):

Gilbert Verdian  in  Quant Network Overledger Community
She's due to start at the end of March
t.me/QuantOverledger/122067
