Blockchain, whose origins are blended (and often blurred) with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is a disruptive technology with the potential to transform how goods and services are exchanged over the internet. Blockchain allows complex transactions to be carried out transparently and securely, on a distributed interaction model that ousts multiple established intermediaries, eradicating the control held by central authorities in traditional methods of digital transaction.
The future of Bitcoin & 9 ways to improve itSam Wouters
Last weekend (8-9 October) they came together in Milan, Italy at Scaling Bitcoin #3. I was not present, but I still wanted to add value as I fundamentally believe an open blockchain like Bitcoin's can make the world a better place. So I went through all the transcripts on scalingbitcoin.org to create a (hopefully) clear overview of the future of Bitcoin for (potential) Bitcoin users.

A presentation about cryptocurrency Bitcoin and the technology it is built on: Blockchain. Some info about bitcoin mining, mining pools and Satoshi Nakamoto who is the mysterious inventor of this revolutionary technology.
From Bitcoin to Blockchain: Industry Review April 2017 from OLMA NEXT LtdOLMA Capital Management
When the Bitcoin cryptocurrency was released in 2009, its underpinning, the blockchain distributed ledger system was the real technological breakthrough, a formulation that promises to change the basis of all types of transactions globally.
Blockchain technology has paved the way for an Internet of Transactions. Blockchain technology has already proved its worth in such areas as means of payment, interbank exchanges and international remittances. Touted as the next digital revolution, blockchain technology has the potential to transform traditional industries and alter society through disintermediation of trade. Any situation that involves an intermediary that is expensive or fallible represents an opportunity to create a blockchain application case. No industry is immune to the blockchain’s disruption potential.
In 2017, the blockchain technology is at an inflection point. The industry is in a state of transition and must move to Blockchain 2.0, which means the adoption of more sophisticated applications, such as micro-payments and smart contracts. Having outgrown its original bitcoin community, the majority of blockchain applications have yet to pass beyond the prototype stage to make blockchain technology the greatest restructuring technology of the next decade.

Blockchain history | The Brief History of Blockchain till 2018Noor Muhammad Khan
Blockchain history | The Brief History of Blockchain till 2018
Blockchain has a history. Blockchain started its journey back in 1991. But the developers and researchers failed to implement the blockchain practically. It was described by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta in 1991. They aim to design a system where document timestamps could not be tampered with. But they were failed to implement the system.
Bitcoin Technology” Bitcoin is an innovative technology that offers several benefits, such as fast transaction speeds, low costs, and the elimination of the need for a third-party intermediary to process transactions. Unfortunately, BitCoin has faced resistance from regulators because the technology has been used for nefarious purposes, including online drug purchases and Ponzi schemes. This note provides a basic explanation of how BitCoin works and is currently regulated on federal and state levels. This note argues that BitCoin should not be forced into old regulatory frameworks that do not adequately balance security concerns with the benefits of BitCoin. BitCoin should not be regulated at the federal level. Instead, state regulations should focus on BitCoin providers that can unilaterally transfer or block transfers of BitCoin on behalf of users. State regulators should require such providers to register with their given states, maintain adequate books and records, implement advanced cyber security standards, conduct audits of their operations, and submit reports to state regulators. In crafting these regulations, regulators should keep in mind that vague or poorly drafted regulations will chill innovation. A Bitcoin would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network.
This slide contains of a basic introduction about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology covering topics on; what is Bitcoin, how Bitcoin works, who created bitcoin, what is blockchain technology, uses and benefits of blockchain.
Where is blockchain in comparison to the internet? From insurance, government, gambling, real estate, and other industries, how are they using blockchain? What does this mean for banks, payments, lending, and MSBs? Presented at The Blockchain Series Miami.
Insights Success has shortlisted "The 10 Most Disruptive Blockchain Solution Providers 2018" who are the constant and constructive efforts of some of the innovative blockchain companies.
I have been presenting blockchain and bitcoin to several companies and audiences in the past 2 years (mostly financial companies).
I started taking notes of their questions as it allows me to reconstruct their thought process while they discover and familiarize themselves with the concepts. These slides have been prepared for investment fund based in Luxembourg. I worked with the Head of Market Research to make the presentation tailored to their needs. Although we tried not to abuse simplifications, we had to gloss over many details and use analogies.
The team was particularly interested in the ecosystems and applications.
Here are the questions I could write down or remember, in their order. Hopefully they will help someone giving similar presentations to similar audiences.
+ Where is actually the blockchain?
+ Do I need all the blocks?
+ How big is it? If the data keeps adding one day it would take *hours* to download
+ In a peer to peer network how are people discovered?
+ Are there people checking all the blocks to verify the transactions? Could i do it?
+ Why do miners would want to do work to validate transactions?
+ Could I mine myself? How?
+ Why am i not mining if i can make 12.5 btc?
+ When does the blockchain ends?
+ What does prevent people from using bitcoin for illegal activities?
+ How could governemnts block it? How can it be shutdown
+ How can transactions be traced? Is it anonymous?
+ Where is the mempool?
+ What prevents everyone to do his own coin?
+ Where does it start? What happens if Satoshi sells its coins? + How was the 21M coins cap decided? Who decided it? Can it be changed?
+ Does the protocol evolve? who modifies it? what happens if some people don't want the modification.
+ If second layers protocols arrive (Lighting) would miners still be required?
+ What is difficulty and why 10minutes per block? Who decides how difficulty is updated? Based on what?
+ Can i do my ICO? How is it done?.
+ Is it legal? How is the crypto business legally recognised.
+ Which countries are more open to blockchain
+ How will governements tax it?

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.
"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.

“Blokchain has become one of the most hyped technologies since the
Internet. It is also one of the most poorly understood. A recent HSBC
global survey found that 80% of those who have heard of
‘blockchain’ said they don’t understand it.”

“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s
required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to
debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches
of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it
electronically, buy they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely
a fraction in reserve.”

6. BITCOIN PROTOCOL
1. Alice initiates a transfer of Bitcoin from her account by signing off with her private key
and broadcasting the transaction to other users.
2. The other users of the network make sure Alice’s Bitcoin address has sufficient funds
and then and Alice’s transaction to a list of other recent transactions, known as a
“block”.
3. Computers take part in a computational race (solving mathematical “puzzle”) to have
their list of transactions, or block, added to the blockchain.
4. The computer that has its block added to the blockchain is also granted a bundle of new
bitcoins.
5. Computers on the network start compiling a new list of unconfirmed recent transactions,
trying to win the next bundle of bitcoins.

“The result of this complicated process was something that was
deceptively simple but never previously possible: a financial network
that could create and move money without a central authority. No
bank, no credit card company, no regulators.”

…that enables to build

rules that define a
specific application.
Instead of build on a
central server owned
by some large entity…
..To fund the
development of the

23. (NOT SO SMART) CONCLUSION
• Blockchain Technology is simply the continuation of Internet Technology (they need internet but they can
bypass the web).
• Blockchain Technology (2017) = Internet Technology (1994-96) — small user adoption (0.5-1% world
population); scalability issue (bitcoin: 3 tx/s; ethereum: 7 tx/s). Hi, we are still in the early days, relax cowboy.
• Most of Open & Public Blockchains have Cryptoeconomic Rules & their Native Assets (Cryptoassets) as their
financial incentives for each networks.
• Open & Public Blockchains’ Innovation: enable Organizationally Decentralized & Logically Centralized entity.
• Analogy: Public Blockchain = Internet; Private Blockchain (DLT) = Intranet.
• Private Blockchains don’t have (need) native assets to incentivize the network and their value creation are
cost & time savings.
• Most of Private Blockchains are Organizationally & Logically Centralized entities.
