Both Kim and Zach work in film industry. Kim organised the first festival of films made using video drones, while Zach has produced several movies and currently works as a script writer.
The newlyweds informed reporters that their blockchain marriage is not legally binding. They hope that it will become so later, when more people start to use bitcoin. The couple plans to have conventional wedding ceremony next year.
ConsenSys is a decentralized company working to provide tailored solutions for firms and companies that plan to use Ethereum.
“Consensus Systems (ConsenSys) is a venture production studio building decentralized applications and various developer and end-user tools for blockchain ecosystems,” says the site. The company's activities stretch across four continents.
Blockchain civic ceremonies gain momentum this autumn. Three days ago Santiago Siri, a young Argentinian political activist generated the world's first blockchain birth certificate for his newly-born daughter. The certificate is not a formal document but a video record, notarised with blockchain and supposed to be a timestamped proof of existence.
