Joe — thanks for your comments.
I think inter-blockchain communication is a relatively premature (and ultimately extremely complex) subject which is deserving of it’s own extensive post. I’ll endeavour to put something together when I get the time.
It’s likely that we’ll see the most benefit from intra-blockchain in the short-term.
Give me a nudge on here or LinkedIn if you want a helping hand with Settler. Roger Willis is the architect and is a great contact to aid understanding, also.
