Vlad Zamfir - Soft forks, hard forks, and the Ethereum Social Contract

As always, we are really sorry for the short notice and the weekend event.

Our next event will be Saturday, 16th of July 2016 (yes, this weekend) and will take place at the Sir Alexander Fleming Building, lecture room G16 - one of lecture theaters at the Imperial College London. The address is: Sir Alexander Fleming Building, Imperial College Union, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BB - https://goo.gl/maps/Q4QNAbKr2u82 . It’s a 10 minutes walk from South Kensington tube station.

We’re sorry this is last minute (it might be a record even for us), but we did our best to find a venue as soon as we heard Vlad Zamfir was available on Saturday.

We are grateful to the Imperial College Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering for hosting the event.

We decided to sponsor the event ourselves when it comes to video recording. So thanks to CryptoCompare.com (https://www.cryptocompare.com/), we’re also going to professionally record the event. There won’t be any food or drinks but the good news for you is that the event will continue to be free.

We only have one speaker for this event Vlad Zamfir but we feel that the topic of the discussion is really important, especially in light of recent events. The topic is Soft forks, hard forks, and the Ethereum Social Contract. You are, of course, more than welcomed to ask questions about Casper and scaling in the Q&A session.

We are aiming for a 20-30 min talk followed by a lengthier Q&A session. After the event we'll try to find a pub close by and continue discussing Ethereum and Smart Contracts.
