For the past two and a half years, I have been working with a small team to solve a huge problem: land registration.
In most first world countries, this process is taken for granted. Most governments have a process in place for ensuring that land records are secure, digital, and transparent as needed. When a new home owner buys a home, they already know "hey I just have to go record my new home deed with the local assessor."
In many parts of the world, this is only a dream. Most home owners face a long list of problems including manual processes to register, long lines, outdated paper records, corrupt officials, and many other issues.
Enter Bitland.
As this new technology advances, teams are getting together to grow this idea and generate a new idea that will take existing processes and grow it into what is now the new normal. For some, the word blockchain is very new. Whenever I bring it up within the circle of co-workers that I have, most haven't even heard of it - which is surprising. Around the world, it is spreading like wildfire. I knew that I wanted to be part of this new wave of innovation.
I was fortunate enough to join with a couple guys that knew this technology and knew exactly how to apply it to a real world process. We essentially were on the same wavelength. Finding teammates like that doesn't happen very often, so when it does - it is truly awesome.
Next week part of our team will be in San Francisco at the d10e conference. (http://www.d10e.org/) @chris-bates will be participating there and he will expand on what we have been doing and what we are all about. Feel free to go up to him and start asking questions. (he loves it!)
I want to thank everyone for your support on our journey and very excited to see what the rest of 2016 has to offer.

I do love this project and it's scope i hope to see more out of everything. Great great great
Thanks @justiciar !
I would be interested in reading something about your plans on how to gain traction (I don't know how to put it). Land titles on a blockchain have little significance if it isn't recognized by some authority, so how is bitland going to get that recognition? Can you point me to some article, video or paper explaining the socioeconomic side of your project?
We are working directly with governments, as you are correct, none of this will work if it isn't recognized by an authority. We are not Bitnation. We work with governments. We are working with the Land Administration Project in Ghana to make this happen.

Here is a video that gives some background to the project.
