- Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and Ether have seen strong price increases in recent years, with Bitcoin up over 9300% and Ether up over 4000% since September 2017. However, poor merchant adoption of less than 0.3% has limited mainstream usage of cryptocurrencies.
- Wirex provides a solution through a multi-currency debit card that allows users to spend cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether as well as traditional currencies like USD and JPY directly from their Wirex account.
- While blockchain technology faces scalability limitations, the Lightning Network promises a solution through off-chain micropayment channels that could enable millions or billions of transactions per second with very low fees. Wirex

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which cryptography techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds.
- Cryptocurrency operates independent of any central authority or individual.
- The supply of money is regulated by software and the agreement of users of the system.
- Trust based on peer to peer consensus.
- Transactions are irreversible.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
