On the program for 5 August:
Hans de Zwart, director of Bits of Freedom, will explore the relationship between digital currency and current Dutch civil rights issues.
Casey Kuhlman, CEO of Eris Industries, will show how blockchain apps are structured and talk about enterprise applications. Eris is an open source platform for distributed applications using smart contract and blockchain technology.
Basics of key signing by Bits of Freedom sponsor Rob van der Wouw. Key signing is an example of public key cryptography, a technology essential for understanding how Bitcoin works.
