Quick overview on what Blockchain means for media and entertainment industry from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. As part of the Media-Nxt Report. Media-Nxt.org
The document discusses the potential for blockchain technology to impact content sales, distribution, and licensing in media industries. It describes the Content Blockchain Project, which aims to create an open blockchain ecosystem for identifying content, managing rights and licenses, and enabling transactions. Key elements discussed include the ISCC content identifier standard, registering identifiers and metadata on the blockchain to enable identification and licensing of content through "smart licenses" accessible to all.
Blockchain technology created a distributed ledger system for recording transactions in a verifiable and permanent way. Originally developed for Bitcoin, blockchains provide a shared record of transactions that is continually reconciled across a network of computers. A blockchain stores transactions in groups called blocks that are linked together in a chain, providing an append-only record. Information held on a blockchain exists as a shared database that no single party controls, making it secure and transparent. Financial institutions are exploring applications of this technology due to its efficiency, speed, transparency, security, and resilience.
Blockchain is a shared, distributed ledger that facilitates recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. Anything of value can be tracked and traded, reducing risk and costs. Blockchain provides transparency, security, auditability, and resistance to outages through its decentralized structure. The document then lists industries like banking, cybersecurity, and supply chain management that blockchain will disrupt before discussing smart contracts and their ability to automatically enforce obligations like traditional contracts. It concludes with cryptocurrency market statistics and the forecast for blockchain adoption worldwide between 2017-2030.
This document discusses building a blockchain-based platform for a government revenue department to store land records. A blockchain would allow records to be stored securely in blocks and verified by all nodes, reducing the risk of missing or duplicate records. The platform would allow online applications for NOCs and property transfers. Users could search for land details and location by identifiers. It would also reduce time spent by enabling online services. The platform would be built using JavaScript, HTML, CSS for the front end, a Python web server as middleware, and Python, Solidity and EVM for the backend.

This is a presentation I gave as a guest lecturer for Law, Markets & Globalization at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. The presentation covers what is blockchain and how the technology may be used in supply chains.
Blockchain technology is predicted to take off first in B2B and B2G applications. Chain as a service will become multi-modal and interoperable through standards. New blockchain-based services will provide history recording, querying, and credit scoring. Smart contracts will see growth in collateralization, identity, standardization, and non-deterministic enforcement. Funding and monetization models will include protocols as a service, token sales, and subscription-based chains.

Regulation & law in the Bitcoin era: analysis and perspectives | Stefano Capa...Codemotion
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are innovation permission-less: lawmakers and regulators did not expect this new paradigm. The first experiment to regulate failed (BitLicense), because did not consider the unique characteristics of the new ecosystem, new actors, and new typology of transaction. Starting from common principles and some property of bitcoin, the speech will focus on the effort made by European Union, particularly on European Court of Justice Case C-264/14 and the fifth Anti Money Laundering Directive and made by Italy.
Blockchain provides an underlying security layer and shared trusted ledger that cannot be controlled by any single user. It focuses on cooperation and creating value together. When organizations and people who don't know each other need to interact, or when shared access to secured data is required, blockchain can provide a way to do cross-checking and give end users control over their own data. Blockchain is also useful for ensuring tamper-proof transactions, complying with regulations like data protection laws, and enabling precise tracking and full traceability through unique product identities.
The document discusses the future of fintech and blockchain. It provides an overview of blockchain technology including how it works, different types of blockchains, and key features. It then explores several potential applications of blockchain technology in various industries such as banking, insurance, voting, supply chains, and government services. The document suggests blockchain could help address issues with data security, accountability, and trust that currently exist with centralized systems like cloud computing.

Introduction to Blockchain and Smart ContractsSaad Zaher
Blockchain & Smart Contracts! This document provides an introduction to blockchain and smart contracts. It discusses what a blockchain is, why many blockchains exist, consensus algorithms like proof of work and proof of stake, public versus private blockchains, smart contracts and how they work, examples of successful smart contracts, potential use cases, and CIT blockchain projects including Catena which provides blockchain as a service and an iRobot proof of concept.
Blockchain technology has the potential to build trust in IoT systems by providing identity and reputation for participants, controlling access to information, and enabling efficient actions even when connectivity is intermittent. However, challenges include the need for reversibility of actions and accommodating privacy regulations, as immutability is a core blockchain principle. Overall, blockchain characteristics could help address security and data sharing issues in increasingly complex IoT ecosystems.
Blockchain technology – the use of a distributed ledger stored on, potentially, millions of machines around the world – provides a transparent platform on which transaction data is registered. This technology not only changes how we transact, but more importantly is an entirely new operating system – decentralising authority, increasing transparency and removing intermediaries.
Blockchain explained is a document that introduces blockchain technology for business use. It discusses how blockchain can help solve inefficiencies in sharing records between participants in a business network by providing a shared, replicated ledger. It describes different types of blockchains and requirements for business blockchains, including how they handle assets, identity, and transaction endorsement. The document provides examples of IBM blockchain networks and solutions and how IBM can help organizations create or join networks to address business challenges through blockchain.

Blockchain Introduction - Canada Nov 2017.pptxAntony Welfare
Back in 2017 I joined the world of #Blockchain and presented my first ever Blockchain presentation on 14th November 2017 at a Tech meetup in Penticton, BC (Canada)
A few key highlights:
* The fundamentals of Blockchain technology have not changed (Trust, Transparency, Security, Quality/Certainty, Reduced costs)
* We were talking about Web 3.0 back in 2017 😉
* People still miss define Blockchain
* Janet Yellen and Christine Lagarde were commenting on Blockchain back in 2017
* Checkout the Dapps section – I was ahead of my time there!
* And the last three slides on the Market cap and increases – I was excited to tell people the market cap was $200bn, BTC was $8,000 and ETH was nearly $400 ……… Ahhh the good old days 😉
And finally – my “leaders comment” back in 2017 still stands “Blockchain is the next disruptive technology to transform the lives of our customers and our business operations”
What a journey so far…and guess what…its only just begun 👍👍👍
Blockchain in Banking, Business and BeyondMichael Novak
An introduction to Blockchain, Smart Contracts, and use cases in industries such as Digital Identification, eCommerce, Healthcare, Government, and Finance.
Blockchain isn't a household buzzword, like the cloud, the web, the internet of things or bitcoin. It's not an innovation that you’re able to see and touch as easily as a smartphone or a NEST thermostat. But in a world where anyone (and anything) can establish a digital persona or publish content online the blockchain may be the answer to a question we've been asking since the invention of the internet: how do we establish trust amongst stakeholders on digital platforms?
This keynote presentation provide a quick, nontechnical introduction to the blockchain. We’ll then take a quick tour through the blockchain technology landscape, understand what a computational blockchain is and discuss the notion of smart contracts and digital tokens.
We’ll wrap up with a focus on blockchain uses cases and initiatives in education.
This document provides an overview of blockchains, including how they work, smart contracts, issues around ICOs and whether tokens are securities, AML/KYC compliance, and patentability of blockchain technology. It defines key terms and concepts, describes how blockchains use proof of work or proof of stake to validate new blocks of transactions, and how smart contracts can automate various types of agreements and transactions using blockchain. Regulatory issues around jurisdiction, privacy, and securities compliance with ICOs are also summarized.
Blockchain is the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It uses cryptography and a peer-to-peer network to securely record transactions in a distributed ledger called a blockchain. The blockchain grows as "blocks" of new transactions are added together through a consensus mechanism. Once recorded, data in the blockchain cannot be altered, which provides transparency and immutability. Blockchain has various applications including banking, payments, voting, and more by facilitating transactions without middlemen and reducing the risk of hacking or fraud.
Blockchain is the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It uses cryptography and a peer-to-peer network to securely record transactions in a distributed ledger called a blockchain. The blockchain grows as "blocks" of new transactions are added together in a chain, with each block timestamped and linked to the previous one. This allows transactions to be permanently recorded and verified in an open yet secure distributed manner without the need for a centralized authority. Potential applications of blockchain technology include banking, payments, voting, and more.
cryptocurrency mining and digital currencies Bitcoin, Ethereum underlying te...rsiyengar.com
The document describes how blockchains work using Bitcoin as an example. It explains that a blockchain is a distributed ledger or database that records transactions in blocks. Miners on the Bitcoin network verify transactions by solving cryptographic puzzles and are rewarded with bitcoins. When a miner solves a puzzle, a new block is added to the blockchain containing the verified transactions. This creates a chain of blocks that records the entire transaction history. The blockchain is distributed across the entire network so there is no central authority.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. Blockchain Basics
• Blockchain is a decentralized database or
distributed ledger that records digital
transactions that everyone on the network
can see.
• This decentralized system enables
“trustless finality,” or reliable, accurate
exchanges without a centralized entity.
3. Blockchain for Media
A system and trusted environment that
enables…
– New compensation mechanism for content
creators
– Publishers and distributors to track Intellectual
Property
– Less need for intermediaries
– “Smart media contracts”
– Lower transaction costs
– Multiple “authorship” management
4. Blockchain for Entertainment
– Reduce copyright infringement
– Enable new kinds of derivative content
• Sell clips, samples, segments at lower cost
• New revenue sources from old media holdings
– Create “smart contracts” (codified, simplified)
that stipulate how content can be used, with
costs for varying usage – and allowing
creators to control and view usage
– Create new markets for old content (back
catalogue)
5. Blockchain for News &
Information
– Address “fake news” issues (Internet-wide)
• Journalists could byline their content with private
key
• Blockchain could maintain a credibility ledger
– Access individual pieces of content with
easier micropayments
– Enable new kinds of revenue for news
organizations with “evergreen” content
– Potential to decentralize online and print news
industry
6. Blockchain for Positioning
For Advertising, Public Relations & Branding…
