BITCOIN: What it is, Why
it’s important and How it
won’t save us
Frank Flores
Rio Grande Valley Zeitgeist Movement
Z-Day 2014

BITCOIN: What it is
Decentralized
No single point of failure or control
Digital
Not a physical object - ephemeral
Peer to Peer
All nodes are equal, anti-fragile
Cryptocurrency
Security and integrity rely on mathematics
Open source software

BITCOIN: How it works
Gossip
Everyone shares their signed messages
ECDSA 256 / SHA-256 / RIPEMD-160
Verification
Do the messages make sense?
Merkle Tree / Algorithmic Control
Securing and Issuance
Add messages to ledger and reward miners
SHA-256 Hashing / Defined and Limited

Growth Rate of Bitcoin Network Hashing Power
2009-Present

BITCOIN: Why it’s important
Obviates Governmental Authority
No one person or entity regulates currency
Not subject to searches, seizures, freezing
More Efficient, Cheaper Than Banks / CC’s
A virtuous circle that rewards contributors
Volunteers operate the infrastructure, vote
The Ephemeralization of Money/Finance
Economic opportunity for under/unbanked
Basis for new technologies/paradigms

$BITCOIN: How it won’t save us... Continues to Promote Money System of Value Does not promote sustainability Thrives on market inefficiencies Maintains and Increases Inequality Must have access to significant technology Must invest more wealth to earn more wealth Cartel and Monopoly/Oligarchy or Factions Market pressures still exist Bitcoin network can become fractured$

...but here’s why it helps us!
Encourages An Honest Discussion About
Money
Many news outlets asking “What is money?”
Much more discussion of fiat, Fed polices
Proves a useful technology and paradigm
Given agreeable software, we’ll contribute!
No one in charge, everyone votes!
Alternative currencies enable significant
change!
SolarCoin, PrimeCoin, NameCoin
Change encourages more change!

1 Blockchain needs a native digital asset such as bitcoin; 2 Bitcoin is digital gold and can be as relevant as physical gold for the history of money, finance, and civilization 3 Unrealistic expectations arise from distributed ledger hype: no reference implementation has emerged yet 4 Instant settlement, cash on the ledger, shared data set, and improved automation are not easy to obtain 5 Time-stamping and anchoring are promising applications 6 Hardly disruptive, DLT might be evolutionary DB tech

Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Distributed Ledger Technology: Hype or Reality

Ferdinando Maria Ametrano

Initially billed as a medium of exchange by its founder- Saitoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin has risen exponentially in value- from a low of $0.17 in December 2010 to a historic high of $19,498.63 in December 2017- a rise of 11.47 million % (not a typo) in 7 years. Due to this very high valuation, bitcoin has lost any functionality as a medium of exchange (to replace or rival fiat currency) and is increasingly being viewed instead as a store of value. It has earned the title- ‘digital gold’.

Blockchain winter is upon us.... The valuation of the digital assets is down from $600B to nearly $100B. But do the prices of the digital assets truly reflect the reality of development, the success/failure of blockchain use cases, and the general adoption? If so, what caused the decline? Who is poised to survive and thrive in 2019? Ray Valdes (CTO @ ConsenSys) & Kate Mitselmakher (CEO & Founder @ Bloccelerate VC) covered the data points explaining what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen in the blockchain universe.

ScyllaDB has the potential to deliver impressive performance and scalability. The better you understand how it works, the more you can squeeze out of it. But before you squeeze, make sure you know what to monitor! Watch our experienced Postgres developer work through monitoring and performance strategies that help him understand what mistakes he’s made moving to NoSQL. And learn with him as our database performance expert offers friendly guidance on how to use monitoring and performance tuning to get his sample Rust application on the right track. This webinar focuses on using monitoring and performance tuning to discover and correct mistakes that commonly occur when developers move from SQL to NoSQL. For example: - Common issues getting up and running with the monitoring stack - Using the CQL optimizations dashboard - Common issues causing high latency in a node - Common issues causing replica imbalance - What a healthy system looks like in terms of memory - Key metrics to keep an eye on This isn’t “Death-by-Powerpoint.” We’ll walk through problems encountered while migrating a real application from Postgres to ScyllaDB – and try to fix them live as well.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.
