What we’re about

This meetup is for people who are interested in the technical side of Ethereum. From developers to entrepreneurs, our community members have access to a global network of innovators, business thought leaders, and blockchain enthusiasts.

Most of our communication happens over slack:

ICOs and investing strategies will probably come up, but generally we'll try to focus discussions on

- How to write dApps

- How to secure your dApps so you don't pull a Parity (and lose millions of user dollars)

- How some of the Ethereum's competitors work (LSK, Waves, EOS?)

- How Ethereum could implement new features to increase their competitive advantage OR why Ethereum won't implement those features

- What kinds of attacks Ethereum is open to and what kinds of attacks it is protected against

- Additional technologies closely tied to Ethereum (Smart contracts, ghost protocol, whisper)

If you want to learn or teach things like the above, join us.
