Building Open Source Blockchain Applications - Dave Nugent
Details
Building Open Source Blockchain Applications
Many developers know of blockchain through its adoption throughout the cryptocurrency ecosystem, but you can also use blockchain in your non-cryptocurrency node.js applications. This talk will cover the Linux Foundation’s blockchain effort, Hyperledger Fabric.
We’ll discuss:
- An overview of the blockchain ecosystem and alternative blockchains
- Permissions and roles in a blockchain implementation
- Use cases / applications
Finally, we’ll walk through an implementation that uses blockchain to allow coffee shop customers to trace the beans from their specific cup of coffee back through their supply chain to the specific place they were sourced, roasted and harvested.
Lighting talk: Building wallet software for Monero with the CEO of MyMonero, Paul Shapiro
Let's talk about the unique structure of Monero, how that affects wallet software, and trade-offs in usability of building different types of wallets for Monero. We'll wrap up with a sampling of the methods of building wallets for Monero using existing open source code, and a brief introduction to the most used client-side lightwallet library for Monero, mymonero-core-js, along with an introduction to our efforts in releasing a lightwallet server for Monero and to establish a community-wide specification for lightwallet server implementors.
