Slides from my talk at CryptoMountain event in Davos. This is a less technical version of my slides on consensus algorithms for blockchain and distributed ledger technology
Apart from Proof of Work there are many other Consensus Mechanisms being discussed. What are they and what are their pros and cons. (Proof of Stake, Proof of Elapsed Time, Proof of Authority, Proof of Burn, Proof of Authority, Byzantine Fault Tolerance, Proof of Importance)
Explains the motivation for private/permissioned blockchains and their characteristics, particularly in comparison to traditional centralized databases. Lists seven "tomatoes" that people throw at the notion of private blockchains, evaluating which represent valid criticisms and which do not.
Bitcoin and other distributed virtual currencies are revolutionizing how monetary value is stored and exchanged on the Internet. Key opportunities and risks will be described. The two main objectives of this talk will be to explain the underlying blockchain and cryptology technologies that make them work, and to demonstrate PHP recipes for using the web services that enable payment processing, identity validation, and smart contract execution.

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.
Blockchain and Smart Contracts (Series: Blockchain Basics)Financial Poise
Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?

Blockchain Application Design and Development, and the Case of Programmable M...Ingo Weber
Slides from my CLOSER 2021 keynote ( https://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/closer/2021/presentationDetails/1390 )
Blockchain has emerged as a decentralized platform for managing digital assets and executing 'smart contracts', i.e., user-defined code. While blockchain's suitability for a given use case should always be scrutinized, it does have the potential to disrupt many of the connection points between individuals, companies, and government entities. In this keynote talk, I will provide an overview of what architects and developers need to know in order to build blockchain-based applications, and how it relates to the cloud and software services. Among others, I will cover blockchain-as-a-service concepts, as well as architectural concerns and model-driven engineering for blockchain applications, the latter also in relation to collaborative business processes. To highlight some of the challenges, I will discuss insights from a project on "programmable money", i.e., blockchain-based money for conditional payments where the money itself checks whether it can be spent in a certain way at the point of payment. Finally, I will touch on insights into current adoption of blockchain.
Blockchain technology is increasingly being considered for applications in business contexts due to its key properties. It is also very much hyped for its potential to transform existing industries and business models. In Part 1, we will introduce the key properties of blockchain, its limitations, the field and the relevance for SAP and enterprises in general. In Part 2, we will focus on one of the prominent suites available today and provide an demonstration of the POC we’ve developed.
Analysing Data from Blockchains - Keynote @ SOCCA 2020Ingo Weber
Keynote at the Symposium on Cryptocurrency Analysis (SOCCA 2020). Content:
In order to analyse how concrete blockchain systems as well as blockchain applications are used, data must be extracted from these systems. Due to various complexities inherent in blockchain, the question how to interpret such data is non-trivial. Such interpretation should often be shared among parties, e.g., if they collaborate via a blockchain. To this end, we devised an approach codify the interpretation of blockchain data, to extract data from blockchains accordingly, and to output it in suitable formats -- see https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10281.
In addition, application developers and users of blockchain applications may want to estimate the cost of using or op- erating a blockchain application. In the keynote, I will also discuss our cost estimation method.
The presentation will give the basic idea about what is blockchain technology, it's architecture, main features, types of blockchain network and other things that will make your fundamentals clear.

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 👍👍👍
What IT Professionals Should know about where the Future of Blockchain Technology is going.
As an enterprise IT professional, you may be wondering where all the hype is going with blockchain? Blockchains are an open-source distributed database that use state-of-the-art cryptography to essentially facilitate transactions and or interactions that can be either financial or non-financial data. A Blockchain essentially is a record of transactions similar to a traditional ledger. These transactions can be recorded for anything and not just financial Blockchain is NOT Bitcoin Blockchain is NOT just about Cryptocurrency Blockchain is to Bitcoin, what the internet is to email Blockchain is now really about providing value to the enterprise
Whether you just now learning about what blockchain technology is or your deeply involved in a Proof of Concept (POC) then learning about the disruptive nature of blockchain technology is the right move especially technologies such as AI, ML and IoT are now enabling solid use cases with blockchains.
The seminar will cover topics such as.
• What exactly is Blockchain technology and why is so disruptive?
• Why are companies are embracing Blockchain technologies?
• Overview of major Enterprise Blockchains (Hyperledger, Ethereum, Quorum and R3 Corda)
• What are the industries that are ripe for disruption from Blockchain Technology?
• What is Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) and why as an IT Professional you should understand this technology.
• The top five areas that IT Pros should learn to profit from Blockchain

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
3. Introduction
https://www.hyperledger.org/
https://ethereum.org/
https://ripple.com/
Oxford Dictionary: A digital ledger in which transactions
made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded
chronologically and publicly
Hyperledger: Blockchain is a digital technology for recording
and verifying transactions. The distributed ledger is a
permanent, secure tool that makes it easier to create cost-
efficient business networks without requiring a centralized
point of control. With distributed ledgers, virtually anything
of value can be tracked and traded.
The Economist describes the blockchain as:
“The blockchain is a shared, trusted, public ledger that
everyone can inspect, but which no single user controls. The
participants in a blockchain system collectively keep the
ledger up to date: it can be amended only according to strict
rules and by general agreement.”
4. Why Blockchain is hot topic now
Good example are finance transactions
• Paper heavy (regulations, auditable, …)
• Slow (Days, Correspondent Banks, Settlement, …)
• Lacks Security
• Lacks Transparency
• That is Billions of costs...
5. Blockchain and IP business
Blockchain offer opportunities to create new models that better reflect the
wants and needs of creators, consumers of content, the connectors who put the
two together, and the public as a whole
• IP Registries
• Registration, Transfers, Consigning, Loaning, Licensing,
• NEW ECONOMIC MODELS
• Micro/Nano payments
• Crowdfunding
• Tracking usage
• Smart Contract
• Digital Certificates
• Royalty payments and collecting societies
• Automated licensing
• Digital goods
• …
