Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency that uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions. Transactions are recorded on a public distributed ledger called the blockchain. The blockchain groups transactions into blocks that are cryptographically chained together and stored by all clients on the network. Miners compete to solve computational puzzles to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain, earning new bitcoins as a reward. Over time, the reward decreases and other cryptocurrencies have emerged that implement variations on Bitcoin's core concepts and rules.

Understanding Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) AlgorithmsGautam Anand
We will focus on understanding "Proof of Stake (PoS)" Algorithm, how it different from "Proof of Work" algorithm, the performance benefits and security overview. We will also discuss the upcoming blockchain protocols that are planning to move to PoS.
Today, blockchain technology doesn't need to be implemented. A word that once was foreign has now earned accolades from individuals across the globe. This technology is being talked about by every business and investor. Blockchain started its journey as an underlying Bitcoin exchange technology, and it has gained so much popularity over the years. Everyone speaks about Blockchain, from students to working professionals; but what makes Blockchain so attractive is that you need to know the concepts of Blockchain technology for this.

A blockchain is a general digital ledger of transactions that are executed on the network, e.g. using Bitcoin to buy a cup of coffee is a transaction.
All users of the network, ‘Nodes’, have a copy of the transaction records and can access them freely, a role previously played by centralized institutions. Therefore, the blockchain network is ‘decentralized’.
This is a presentation is an introduction to the blockchain. It defines, what is the blockchain and shows how JavaScript developers can create blockchain applications.

Introduction to Blockchain and Bitcoin technologies
Things we will cover,
* What is TRANSACTION ?
* BlockChain !!!……Never heard what is that??
* The BTC Aka BitCoins
* Who discovered?
* How it works?
* Advantages & Disadvantages
* Applications
Metadata in the Blockchain: The OP_RETURN ExplosionCoin Sciences Ltd
With the addition of OP_RETURN outputs in version 0.9, it became possible to attach arbitrary pieces of information to bitcoin transactions. This turns bitcoin into a low-level communications protocol, just like TCP/IP, on which many new applications can be built.
Despite its powerful features, bitcoin is also limited, costly and inefficient compared to TCP/IP. After discussing which sorts of applications make this trade-off worthwhile, we talk about CoinSpark, a new open source protocol for enhancing bitcoin transactions, which makes extensive use of OP_RETURNs.
Hands-on introduction to blockchain technologies.
First, basic concepts as peer-to-peer networks, mining and distributed consens are introduced basd on the Bitcoin protocol. Next smart contracts are discussed for the Ethereum protocol and demonstrated using a local/private blockchain.
The session concludes with a live demo of the interaction of a Java based classical business application with a smart contract running in the Ethereum network.
The goal of the session is to provide a meaningful background of blockchain technologies in genral and to enable developers to start exploring Ethereum and smart contracts within a few hours.
The proposed development setup is oriented towards Java developers and contains Docker images for the Geth and TestRPC Ethereum clients that can be run locally. To access Ethereum from Java the web3j Java library is used. The business application that integrates with the smart contracts is built with the Eclipse Scout framework.

Welcome to the world of cryptocurrencies, the next step in the evolution of the means of value exchange. This is
the part where many authors would veer off into the fascinating history of money. Though that is or at least can
be interesting, it’s ultimately a side note — and one that, frankly, isn’t going to make you any richer.
Instead, this book will begin with and focus on what you need to know to participate in and potentially profit
from this white-hot frontier investment space. With that in mind, we’re not going to begin at the beginning and
regale you with tales of humankind’s early currencies or some such; instead, we’re going to take the leap off the
high board and start to teach you right away about the now and the newest computer-based currencies

Stefano Maestri - Blockchain and smart contracts, what they are and why you s...Codemotion
After a brief introduction on what is blockchain technology and how it works under the wood, focusing on Ethereum the next generation blockchain implementation. We will focus on the concept of smart contract introducing it through a simple case study and its standard implementation in ethereum. We will code it using Solidity language deploying and testing it in a live demo on Ethereum test network.
Virtual or digital currencies, with Bitcoin chief amongst them, have been gaining momentum and investment over the last couple of years. Offering an almost costless means of making payments around the globe, virtual currencies have the potential to bring significant disruption to the banking industry. This potential is not lost on either Bitcoin startups or banks themselves. But how does Bitcoin actually work? A peer-to-peer network maintains the “blockchain”, an innovative cryptographic protocol which securely mediates payments between parties without mutual trust. This session will step through the structure of the blockchain, showing how it solves the “double spend” problem and allows decentralised processing of financial transactions. Whether Bitcoin will become the currency of the internet or it’s a bubble that is doomed to burst sooner or later, the blockchain itself will change the face of transactional banking and perhaps other industries along the way.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
