Blockstack Boston Meetup #2: Tech Deep Dive

Welcome to the second Blockstack Boston Meetup!

Blockstack is a new decentralized web, where users own their data and apps run on user devices without the need for servers. We have a community of over 1,200 developers and 60,000 users.

For this meetup we'll do a technical deep dive on the Blockstack technology, see demos, and chat about building apps on Blockstack.
