Honestly, I don't get the whole cryptocontract thing. To me, contracts are too negotiable and flexible to be computer controlled. How does a cryptocontract negotiate a difference in the interpretation of a contract's terms? Granted, it's not something I've researched at all but, to me, this gets into the realm of advanced AI and that's where I go all skeptical.
