Bitcoin: History and Use Cases
Monday September 16, 2024 12:30 - 13:30 MDT
Spruce 3/4
Jon will share the Bitcoin “origin story,” which is the story of the Cypherpunks and the solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem. He will discuss several real-world problems that the Cypherpunks solved using cryptography, leading up to the development of Bitcoin.

Jon will also cover the three most important use cases of the Bitcoin protocol. The first two use cases, Store of Value and Medium of Exchange, are well-known, but have other, non-Bitcoin solutions. The third use case, Native Internet Money, has a unique solution of great interest to software engineers, particularly in the age of AI.

–

In Eduardo Madrid’s presentation, Bitcoin: From the White Paper to the World's Reserve Currency, scheduled for Tuesday, he will outline the implementation of the Bitcoin protocol based on the Bitcoin White Paper, focusing on how programmable money is possible.

In Kris Jusiak’s presentation, Bitcoin Script: Implementation Details and Use Cases, scheduled for Wednesday, he will present the details which make programmable money possible.

In Eduardo Madrid’s presentation, Role Playing Bitcoin Protocols Including the Lightning Network, scheduled for Thursday, with just an intuitive understanding of Bitcoin Script he will describe the higher abstraction level protocols, such as the Lightning Network.

Join us on Friday for a panel in which Eduardo, Jon, and Kris will answer Bitcoin questions

Cpp2/cppfront BoF informal meetup
Monday September 16, 2024 12:30 - 13:30 MDT
Cottonwood 8/9
This session is an informal “BoF + show-and-tell” meetup for people interested in Cpp2/cppfront.
Here are some ideas:
- Do you have a pull request you're working on? Show it off and get feedback
- Chat in person about some of the GitHub cppfront Discussion topics
- Other related topics welcome!
- Last year Herb used this meeting as a chance to run some informal polls

The Power of Reducing Variable Scope
Monday September 16, 2024 12:30 - 13:30 MDT
Cottonwood 2/3
Perhaps you've heard that you should reduce variable scope. But have you ever really stopped to think about why? In this session we'll run through a manufactured example that illustrates the difference reducing variable scope can make, and we'll do some examination as to what difference it made with the compiler.

"Pick a random number... no, not that one!" - Tales of Real-World Exploits Based on Bad Randomness
Monday September 16, 2024 20:30 - 21:30 MDT
Cottonwood 2/3
When it comes to security, using "good" randomness is key - at least so we are told. But unlike using an insecure protocol or a weak cryptographic key, it may not be intuitive why "bad" randomness may be a problem. What even makes randomness "good" or "bad"?

In this session we will explore several real-world exploits based on bad randomness including online poker, cryptocurrencies, cars, web-traffic encryption, and video games.
Don't worry, no security background knowledge needed.

In the end, you will have entertaining stories to share and a better and more intuitive understanding of the dangers of "bad" randomness.
