Doors open from 6pm, with the talks kicking off at 7pm after which the conversation will continue in the pub in the same venue, The Royal Dick (http://www.summerhall.co.uk/the-royal-dick/).

*More details to follow.

Talks on the night will include:

1. Gavin Wood

2. Konstantin Kudryavtsev

3. James Littlejohn of Dsensor.org (http://dsensor.org/) ("a better understanding of reality") will present a prototype of 'programmable science' using MPPM's (mapping prediction path methods) an Ethereum's smart contract on the EVM/blockchain. James will also discuss how miners and mappers co-exist.

4. Elias Haase of Founder of b9lab, delivering development, training & research on blockchain and decentralised applications, will be speaking about how blockchain technology could lead to the revival of old mutual insurance models and improve access for market participants and consumers in underserved communities.

ETHEREUM

Ethereum is a platform and programming language that makes it possible for any developer to build and publish next-generation decentralized applications. In short: Ethereum is the web, without the web servers.

Ethereum can be used to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything: voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, company governance, contracts and agreements of most kind, intellectual property, and even smart property thanks to hardware integration.
