Did you read the article or did you just post it here ?

Quote
"On first sight, it looks like a futuristic idea but on reflection it is really a little bit of publicity hype," said Prof Noel Sharkey of the University of Sheffield.

"A lot of companies use large data search to access what is happening on the market, then the board or trusted workers can decide on the advice.

"With financial markets, algorithms are delegated with decisions. The idea of the algorithm voting is a gimmick. It is not different from the algorithm making a suggestion and the board voting on it."

No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.
