They will also give a live demo of their home growing Tower.

Printing Green: An Ecological Cryptocurreny Future
:..>Cryptocurrencies and their underlying blockchain technology hold tremendous potential for humanity, but Bitcoin and other proof-of-work currencies are incredibly wasteful, consuming huge amounts of energy and computer power when it comes to mining coins. Miners are economically incentivized to keep the network as slow and expensive as possible. In addition, becoming a miner in proof-of-work requires significant capital expenditures on specialized hardware, warehouse facilities, electricity bills, technicians, etc., providing a major barrier to entry. BitGreen (BITG) uses proof-of-stake, which secures the network using intuitive economic incentives, instead of wastefully burning through massive amounts of computing power. BitGreen can also be mined on just about any computer and consumes no more energy than a regular desktop application. In this talk, the BitGreen Foundation will go over their future goals on the BitGreen project to fund energy efficent and tech activism, how their Proof Of Stake mining method differs from other cryptocurrencies and how to set up your own Master Node directly from the BitGreen Wallet to mine BitGreen on any hardware.
