Austin Bitcoin Club - Immutable History with Simple Proof

Executive Summary
In November 2024, Screven County, Georgia made history by becoming the first U.S. county to use the Bitcoin blockchain technology to secure election results. Partnering with Simple Proof, the county successfully timestamped their election certification documents to the Bitcoin blockchain, creating an immutable record to protect against tampering and provide unprecedented transparency.

Key Results:

• Immutability - Election results were permanently secured on the Bitcoin blockchain in a manner that no individual, company or bad actor can alter.
• Quick deployment - Implementation completed in just one week.
• Cost-effective - Affordable for even a small rural county with limited IT resources.
• Scalable - Capable of securing all digital government records
• Confidential - Screven County was also able to protect confidential, non-public information (voter roll lists).

Join us for a viewing party and conversation with Carlino from Simple Proof!

Please RSVP as space will be limited.

If this is your first time at one of our meetups, we have a few simple guidelines to enhance everyone’s experience:

• our meetups and events have a simple and singular focus: Bitcoin. All of our topics and discussions will be centered around Bitcoin, the global monetary network, and bitcoin, the reserve asset. If you are interested in crypto tokens, stocks, blockchains, altcoins, alternative investing, NFTs, etc. that is completely fine. There are a number of other meetups to join. This meetup however is just focused on Bitcoin
• please no photos unless no one is identifiable in the background. We respect everyone’s privacy and want everyone to feel comfortable as they participate
• while the group discussion is going, please keep side conversations to none. With the acoustics of the room and the number of people we expect, any conversations will echo and be a distraction for those who are trying to listen many of whom have traveled a long way to participate
• please pick up after yourself
• Street parking or the paid garage across from our building on East 6th (515 Congress)
