Welcome and introduction

Talk & QA with Jez San

Our special guest of the evening is Jez San. Jez holds an Order of the British Empire for his services to the computer game industry after leading his computer-game development company Argonaut to an IPO in 2000.

In 2017, Jez launched FunFair, a game-changing B2B platform using pioneering blockchain technology to bring transparency, efficiency, and access to new markets to the casino sector.

FunFair is using Fate Channels as a variation of state-channels to facilitate fast micropayments on the blockchain. Working Group Updates

Public and Consortium Consensus in Ethereum

Conor Svensson will be giving a tour of the different consensus mechanisms in Ethereum and Quorum, describing how they work and when to use them.

Conor is the author of web3j, the Java library for working with the Ethereum blockchain. He’s also the founder of blk.io who provide an enterprise blockchain platform based on Ethereum.

As usual there will also be an opportunity for EEA members to provide updates on what they're working on, and give Working Group updates. Please contact the organisers if you wish to talk for 5 minutes or less on either of these topics.
