BITFURY EXPLAINS HOW TO SECURELY STORE AND TRANSFER DIGITAL ASSETS ON THE BIT...Steven Rhyner
Leading Bitcoin Blockchain infrastructure provider and transaction processing company, BitFury, has recently released a white paper entitled “Digital Assets on Public Blockchains”.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2018 Global Cryptoasset Benchmarking Study conducted by Cambridge Judge Business School. Some of the main findings include:
- The cryptoasset industry has grown significantly since 2017, with the number of full-time employees at crypto firms increasing over 150% between 2016 and 2017.
- Crypto usage also grew substantially, with exchanges and payments providers now serving over 130 million user accounts collectively.
- Most crypto firms have implemented Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money Laundering programs to comply with regulations, and over half are seeking licenses to legally operate.
- Bitcoin still dominates the crypto market in terms of transaction activity, though other coins are gaining ground. The

You can see the livestream-video on https://t.co/yru0gsiKmy (mind you that the first 28 minutes there seems to be a technical issue). Hadrien speaks after the break, around about 1h45 in the video.
Michel Rauchs presented a framework for conceptualizing distributed ledger technology (DLT) systems. The framework establishes three layers - the protocol layer governing the system rules, the network layer implementing the peer-to-peer network, and the data layer recording transactions. It also identifies key components and processes within each layer. The framework provides a standardized structure for comparing different DLT systems based on their technical configurations and tradeoffs across layers, as well as their positioning on open versus closed networks. The goal is to establish unified terminology and a multidimensional analytical tool for evaluating and comparing DLT systems.

Factors driving the cryptocurrency and blockchain (r)evolutionMichel Rauchs
This document discusses factors driving the cryptocurrency and blockchain revolution. It summarizes that public blockchains are designed for censorship-resistance, payments, computations, and storage through decentralization, but this comes at the cost of inefficiency, slow speed, high expenses, and difficulty scaling. Permissioned blockchains attempt to increase efficiency by limiting participation to known entities, but still involve tradeoffs. While blockchain technology provides potential benefits, adoption of large-scale networks has lagged due to difficulties in protocol selection, lack of deployment, and challenges transitioning to shared infrastructure.

This document discusses how blockchain technology can be used to tokenize real estate assets. It explains that tokenization allows real estate to be divided into shares that are represented by tokens on a blockchain platform. This could streamline and simplify the current complicated real estate process by allowing properties to be more easily searched and filtered based on criteria. Blockchain also has the potential to automate steps in real estate transactions and reduce risks.

Bitcoin - Passing Fad? Disruptive Technology? Either Way It's Now Taxable!Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
Bitcoin has been making major headlines recently. Starting with a year-end high price of $817.12 which would have returned 56X or 5,600% in 2013 to the over $500 million theft from the Japanese exchange Mt. Gox in February. Then Apple removes the Bitcoin app from its app store and finally the IRS announces its position on the taxability of virtual currencies on March 25, 2014.
Which raises the question, is Bitcoin a passing fad or disruptive technology that we need to take seriously?
This deck covers the background and latest information about Bitcoin and the IRS guidance on taxation and virtual currencies.

Bitcoin and Other Digital Currencies: The Latest Issues in Regulation and Enf...Jay Postma
Presentation of October 10, 2014 by Jay Postma, CAMS and Paul Soter, Esq. during the Financial Service Centers of America (FiSCA) Annual Conference. Covering basics of digital currencies, bitcoin, regulatory and compliance issues, including BSA/AML, OFAC, etc.
This seminar discussed cryptocurrencies and the digital financial revolution. It began with a brief history of money and the development of digital currencies like Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created in 2008 as a digital currency using blockchain technology with no central authority. The blockchain acts as a distributed public ledger that records all transactions in an immutable manner. Anyone can own bitcoins and transfer them to others through the blockchain network. While initially used on the dark web, cryptocurrencies have grown into a big business and some see them becoming a global payment rail. However, issues around scalability, energy use, and regulation still need to be addressed as this new technology develops.
The future of blockchain is not blockchain, but rather directed acyclic graph (DAG) technologies. DAGs can solve many of the problems with traditional blockchains like gatekeeping miners, uncertain fee markets, and negative resource balances. One example of a DAG called Obyte overcomes these issues through block producers that reach consensus and a "reality test" run by all nodes. DAGs also promise improved scalability, fair and certain fees, and ease of use through features like chatbots and textcoins.

Blockchain: all assets digitized and registered to blockchains; instantaneously transactable on a global basis
Blockchain Supply Chain: all assets exist in digital inventories, tradeable (pledgeable, financeable) and more importantly, findable, in the global digital network economy
Expanding Beyond Cryptocurrency in the Digital World using Blockchain TechnologyYogeshIJTSRD
A blockchain is principally a distributed database of records or public ledger of all transactions or digital events that are executed and shared among the participating parties. Once entered, information can never be erased. The blockchain encompasses a precise and supportable record of each solo transaction ever made in the history of all the transactions. Bitcoin, the decentralized digital currency, is that the most well liked example that uses blockchain technology. The digital currency bitcoin itself is extremely controversial but the underlying blockchain technology has worked flawlessly and located a good range of applications in both the financial and nonfinancial world. Anirvan Vinod "Expanding Beyond Cryptocurrency in the Digital World using Blockchain Technology" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-5 , August 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd43871.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/computer-science/other/43871/expanding-beyond-cryptocurrency-in-the-digital-world-using-blockchain-technology/anirvan-vinod
Blockchain technology establishes a distributed consensus by creating an irrefutable record of digital events in a public ledger. This allows entities to verify digital transactions and assets without an intermediary. The technology is beginning to disrupt many industries and represents opportunities for financial applications like banking as well as non-financial uses such as notarization, insurance, and more. The report examines the history of blockchain technology and how it works, then discusses some existing and potential future applications of this disruptive technology.
Blockchain technology establishes a distributed consensus model that allows digital events and transactions to be recorded in an immutable public ledger. It solves the problem of ordering transactions in a distributed peer-to-peer network by grouping transactions into blocks and linking the blocks through a blockchain. Miner nodes verify transactions and add them to blocks by solving a mathematical puzzle. The network accepts the longest blockchain as the valid one, making it extremely difficult for fraudulent transactions to be introduced. Blockchain technology is finding applications in both financial areas like banking as well as non-financial areas by enabling the automatic execution of smart contracts.
Blockchain technology for e-governance by Dzmitry MarkusheuskiDigiComNet
Blockchain technology can be used for e-governance by creating a transparent distributed database to record all interactions between citizens and government agencies. The data is interlinked and stored by all participants in the system, ensuring accuracy. Users act as collective notaries to certify the data and guard against abuse. This facilitates agreement without intermediaries and creates a foundation for decentralized governance based on consensus. Blockchain also incentivizes following rules to maintain fairness. However, challenges include scalability, bandwidth, and centralization tendencies as validation becomes more resource-intensive. Thorough assessment of impacts is needed before deploying new technologies in governance.
Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the digital world by enabling distributed consensus without compromising privacy or relying on third parties. It establishes an irrefutable public record of digital events and transactions through techniques like cryptographic verification of transactions and chronological chaining of transaction "blocks". This allows various applications in financial areas like banking as well as non-financial areas like notarization, insurance, and more. The report examines some key applications and opportunities of this disruptive technology.
The document proposes a Decentralised Learning Ledger (DLL) that uses blockchain technology to track, register, and certify acquired learning assets. It discusses how blockchain, the internet of things, and the concept of "knowledge procurement" provide the building blocks for a DLL. The DLL would allow acknowledgement and utilization of learning credits earned from various educational experiences, offering a proof-of-learning solution.

Blockchain Economics: Tackle Debt and Systemic RiskMelanie Swan
Financial Resilience and Sustainability. Crypto tokens imply optionality and the ability to better manage risk. The thesis of this talk is that smart contracts are options, and as such, can be used to control risk (unwanted future uncertainty) in a wider range of areas than has been possible previously, in finance, and in other areas too such as medicine. Options as a financial market instrument have long been used to control the amount and timing of risk in specific ways and tailor exposure with granularity. Smart contracts are an even more flexible species of options because they are programmable contracts that can be used to confer the right to buy or sell any blockchain-based asset or liability at a future moment in time (blocktime or “fiat” (regular) time) per certain terms and consideration. Therefore, smart contracts allow a greater variety in the degree and type of risks that might be brought under management. The impact of having greater control over risk is that intangible social goods are produced such as surety, confidence, and reliability, which help to engender a more trustful society.
Using Blockchain as a Platform for Smart Cities. Christian Nãsulea, Stelian-M...eraser Juan José Calderón
Using Blockchain as a Platform for Smart Cities
Christian Nãsulea, Stelian-Mihai Mic University of Bucharest, Romania.
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Incorporating new technologies into the development of smart cities means rethinking the way
different services are provided. From this perspective, Blockchain might represent the future of both smart cities and smart
communities as it offers new alteratives for individuals and institutions.
Prior Work: Blockchain was mainly perceived through its linkage with bitcoin, but recent developments have started
exploring the idea of using it for financial transactions, logistics and securing contracts. Tapscott & Tapscott (2016)have
acknowledged the potential the Blockchain Revolution had on redefining the idea of trust in both digital and local communities.
Blockchain technology has the ability to enhance transparency of local and regional institutions while also making it easier
to communicate sensitive data without compromising security and privacy.
Approach: We look at the different fields blockchain can have an impact on and we try to assess the viability of moving
towards an integrated platform for intermediating day-to-day activities between both institutions and individuals. We will
assess the advantages of digitizing and securing public and private data while also considering the potential risks this
process might involve.
Results: We aim to create a model of how blockchain might work in communities and assess its impact on the overall
economic and human development indicators.
Implications: Public administrators in many countries are starting to acknowledge blockchain’s potential in solving problems
for local communities our results will be a valuable starting point for developing local initiatives for using blockchain as a
platform for communications and transactions. Furthermore, a smart city must be a city where individuals can interact and
solve their issues quickly, using digital technologies for increased efficiency.
Value: Blockchain is thought to be the future of managing both public and private affairs. Countries such as Dubai, Singapore
and China are incorporating blockchain technology into developing smart cities. Blockchain makes us rethink many of the
different aspects of how communities can be organized, offering new alternatives and promising a more transparent and
efficient economic model.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
11June 2024. An online pre-engagement session was organized on Tuesday June 11 to introduce the Science Policy Lab approach and the main components of the conceptual framework.
About 40 experts from around the globe gathered online for a pre-engagement session, paving the way for the first SASi-SPi Science Policy Lab event scheduled for June 18-19, 2024 in Malmö. The session presented the objectives for the upcoming Science Policy Lab (S-PoL), which featured a role-playing game designed to simulate stakeholder interactions and policy interventions for food systems transitions. Participants called for the sharing of meeting materials and continued collaboration, reflecting a strong commitment to advancing towards sustainable agrifood systems.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
