.::LIGHTNING TALKS::.

Hypercore:// A World Of Distributed Data Structures
:..>Originally known as the DAT Protocol with the Beaker Browser, Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs that are like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. In this talk, I will details how I built the Hyper Protocol, how it works and a first look into my new project; a self-hosted cloud, similar to sandstorm, that uses Hypercore to integrate the servers into a network.

:..>Bio: Paul Frazee got his start in the Web working at development agencies which specialized in e-commerce and marketing. His interest in open source and distributed systems led him to the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) community where he helped develop a peer-to-peer social networking app called Patchwork. After a few years working on SSB, Paul started the Beaker Browser project in order to experiment with applying p2p concepts to the Web platform.

INTERMISSION :: After The Lifting Of The Block: Case Study Of Turkey (ONLINE ONLY)
:..>In this presentation, we tell the story of the Wikipedia block from TR community view and introduce the work of WMTR for overcoming the negative outcomes and coming out of this situation as a more powerful, better established group.
