We'll have Vojtěch Černý and his team from SatoshiLabs this time, introducing their new "Trezor Model T" and giving us the opportunity to discuss everything about Crypto Hardware Wallets in general, and we'll have Stepan Snigirev giving a teaser about his current DIY project based on Arduino.

Target Audience: As every so often we'll try to structure the meetup so that we'll have two parts. The first part should be accessible for newcomers. A new hardware wallet for crypto-currencies will be presented, the purpose of such devices will be discussed, and their usage be demonstrated. After a break we'll dive deeper into specific details for enthusiasts and professionals who want to stick around longer, highlighting aspects like the hardware development process, security considerations, and much more.

Hardware wallets might not only be crypto-currency related, but also may play a role in the near future to enable managing our identities in a self-sovereign way. Our guests tonight come from the "Institute of Cryptoanarchy" after all, so we can also discuss some sociopolitical aspects if the audience so desires.

Our speakers tonight include:

Vojtěch Černý joined SatoshiLabs in 2016 to help Trezor users. He is currently taking care of the Trezor community and travels the world to spread the word about Trezor and SatoshiLabs.

2 more devs from the Trezor team will also be present.

Stepan Snigirev is a quantum physicist who moved from academia to Bitcoin. He recently joined Crypto Advance GmbH - a startup working on secure key storage techniques for Bitcoin and Lightning. Currently he is working on Lightning support for hardware wallets and other hardware-related projects.

Rough plan:

18³⁰ Doors

18⁴⁵ Part I

# Welcome from your hosts

# Vojtěch Černý and team: Building hardware wallets at SatoshiLabs

Together we will take a closer look at our company philosophy, which has always been about complete transparency when it comes to software and hardware. Also, we will discuss the current and future possibilities of the Trezor family - Trezor One, the battle-tested hardware wallet for everyone, and the next-generation hardware wallet, the modern Trezor Model T.

20⁰⁰ Break, food, drinks

20³⁰ Part II

# Stepan Snigirev: Do It Yourself: Bitcoin hardware with Arduino

Making a secure hardware wallet is hard, you definitely don't want to do it by yourself. Leave it to Trezor, Ledger and others. But what about a vending machine? Or a rentable drone? How about earning some bitcoins from your nice CNC machine that you are not really using? Let people use it and pay for it with crypto!

During the talk I will show a small demo and explain how to make a simple hardware device that accepts Bitcoin. We will take a look at Arduino boards and ecosystem around them. Then we will discuss how to make it work with Bitcoin on-chain and Lightning payments. At the end we will fantasize a bit about the wonderful world full of smart devices paying each other with crypto.

21¹⁵ Q&A and general discussion round with all our guests, open end

22⁰⁰ End of official part
