Interview with Thomas Bertani of Oraclize at DEVCON1 in London

Oracles are a fundamental conduit for moving data from the real world into the Ethereum blockchain. Without great real world data Ethereum would lose much of its utility.

I talk to Thomas Bertani, who is building a provably honest centralised oracle service for Ethereum. This design really caught my eye as it combines the cheapness of a centralised oracle with excellent security guarantees that we have grown to love about decentralised technologies.

The conversation covered themes such as:

What is a provably honest oracle?
How is Oraclize provably honest?
What is TLS Notary technology?
Current state and applications of Oraclize.

Check out the video for understanding a really cool and potentially transformative oracle design.
