116-120 Goswell Road, London, Reino Unido
Ethereum, the second largest crowd presale in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_funded_crowdfunding_projects), has captured the world's imagination in reinventing how we think about Internet infrastructure, communication and privacy. Some say it could revolutionalize the web by enabling the disruption of today’s giants, as well as enabling a secure, private and scalable internet of things. (http://bernardlunn.com/2014/09/22/the-crazy-brilliant-ibm-adept-fork-of-ethereum/). Featured on Wired, Al Jazeera, the New Scientist, the Telegraph, Le Monde and many other international publications, Ethereum is a free and open source software platform to build and distribute decentralised applications. Ethereum is a generalised programming platform based on blockchain technology and could therefore be used to model anything that can be mathematically represented. While we are platform and technology agnostic, there has been some amazing community work done on the Java implementation of Ethereum as well as the IBM/Samsung implementation on Android. I’ll cover the acceleration of centralization, the issues it raises on the internet today, and the solutions decentralization offers. I’ll provide practical examples of what the ethereum interface looks like, including demo dapps. The entire presentation is slide-based (TED style). Who should attend: This a technically minded presentation however both junior developers and non-devs will certainly enjoy it. Bio: In January 2014 Stephan joined the Ethereum project as CCO. His current focus is on smart contracts/smart property and the development of decentralized applications deployed on top of a blockchain infrastructure. He is particularly interested in the potential for societal change engendered by users regaining control over both their funds and personal information. Stephan is the founder and CEO of the world's first crypto-consultancy, Ursium (http://www.ursium.com/). He regularly speaks at conferences, community events and meetups, and is the media contact for the Ethereum project.
