One thing that i believe that we should establish early on is a code of conduct for the Hyperledger project. I helped craft the CoC used by one of our sibling projects at the LF - the Cloud Foundry

(moving -tsc to bcc) Folk, please use the hyperledger-technical-discuss@... list for technical discussions. The -tsc list is intended mostly for TSC administrivia (minutes, meeting notices, and

Hello TSC members, we have been trying to reach out to this group since we first came across the blog post about Linux Foundation's blockchain initiative and have never heard back. Did we choose the

Hi Fabian, In such a situation from system design end we would need a blockchains which has three mode of operation. Public mode (No Privacy) Semi Private ( Limited parameters of the application

+1, great idea Todd, wonder if you could set that up? Cheers, Christopher Ferris IBM Distinguished Engineer, CTO Open Technology IBM Cloud, Open Technologies email: chrisfer@... twitter:

+1 In OBC, we differentiate between privacy (your a) from confidentiality (your b) and provide both as options, depending on the requirements of the blockchain deployment. - Binh Fabian Schuh via

I agree that we need to distinguish a) identity privacy from b) transaction content privacy and it depends on the purpose of the blockchain and the kind of transactions that you want to use on the

I would suggest that this list (hyperledger-tsc) be turned into a moderated list. Otherwise, all kinds of technical discussions are going to end up posted to this list (or cross posted to this list)

Is the goal to support anonymity (from an identity perspective) or is the goal to mask the actual contents/value of your transactions? IMO, the former is a reasonable requirement. However, the

Slack is open to everyone, but because Slack has a more enterprise login approach, we have to add the domains. Todd will you please add any domains of members not already white-listed?

I think privacy is an integral part of blockchains. If you consider integrating a Bond Market into a blockchain (which you technically could do), then Privacy evolves into a requirement. Otherwise

It may not be necessary to put personal/business details into the blockchain to threaten privacy. See, for instance, the paper "Evaluating User Privacy in Bitcoin"

As I said, if you don't want the world to see your personal/business account details​, simply don't put them in the ledger. That's the privacy-preservation mechanism. The ledger won't know anything

Indeed, the fact that the ledger is open should not prevent the integration of privacy-preservation mechanisms. In most use cases, the lack of privacy would constitute a show-stopper to

Perhaps Jesus means, will the ledger system include any information that could potentially be used to identify a person? (e.g. an e-mail address or social security number or company registration

I think privacy is a key point to be included if we are thinkingin a "business ready" system, sometimes by law or by others actors Ithink privacy mandatory to be considered in this project.

I don't think we have to consider privacy in an open ledger system. In an open ledger system all information is open. By definition. So there is no private information. If somebody wants to keep

Hi everybody! Thanks so much for the meeting minutes. Is the Slack team only available for TSC purposes, or are technical discussions welcome too? If so, how does a technical contributor (such as

Hi all. Thanks for the email, it is very useful for all of us who could not attend the complete meeting (or attend at all). One doubt/comment about the evaluation criteria. Is privacy being considered
