Abstract.

Would you like to understand how the Open Blockchain (OBC) works, exactly?

The IBM Open Blockchain (OBC) (https://github.com/openblockchain) project is IBM's contribution to the Linux Foundation Hyperledger project. IBM made it available as open source to enable the community to explore our architecture and design.

In this presentation, three enthusiasts of Open Blockchain at Altoros will share their hands-on experience tinkering with the magic of the Open Blockchain project and its chaincode.

• Who should attend

• Architects and developers who want to know how to design and write their own decentralized applications.

• Individual contributors, or leaders of teams who will actively contributing to the project.

• Business people who want to learn enough about Hyperledger to be dangerous.

Agenda:

Part 1. Open Blockchain Protocol

• How does it work?

• What kind of messages are passed between peers?

• How does node discovery work?

• How transactions are committed?

Part 2. Chaincode

• What is chaincode?

• How does chaincode work?

• Which programming languages can I use to write chaincode?

Part 3. Open Blockchain API

• How do I use API from CLI or REST interface?

• How do I deploy and invoke new chaincode using API?

• API interface overview.

• Part 4. Consensus algorithm

• Why do we need it?

• Algorithm overview.

• What will happen if I will try to modify contract code on my validation node without updating other peers?

Part 5. Putting this all to work. How about writing our first app!?

• Prerequisites.

• Step-by-step guide to writing your own Hyperledger app.

7:45 - 8:45 PART 2: Technical Introduction To HLP-Candidate, a Digital Asset Holding's contribution to The Hyperledger Project.

Presenting: Tamás Blummer, Chief Ledger Architect

•DAH view of financial services use cases

•Implied requirements for the protocol, implementation and API

•Introduction to DAH candidate's architecture, and corresponding code packages

•Basic API for blockchain data and financial services

•Protocol level enhancements

Prior to Digital Asset Holdings, Tamás the founder and CEO of Bits of Proof, a firm which constructed an enterprise grade Bitcoin blockchain server deployed by the payment processor BopShop, the backend for myTREZOR which was the first hardware Bitcoin wallet, and Bullion Bitcoin, the first real-time auditable exchange for institutional investors. Prior to joining Digital Asset, Tamás built the Bitcoin mining control software at CoinTerra. Tamás has also served over a decade as a VP at Deutsche Bank where he ran the IT systems for global fixed income processing, VP at MSCI, in addition to Executive Director at Morgan Stanley.
