Ethereum: Three Paths to Profits (or Pain)Kent Barton
The document outlines three potential paths to profiting from Ethereum: development, investment, and entrepreneurship. For development, opportunities exist in building applications, but challenges include understanding Ethereum's limitations and open source code. Investment offers potential gains from volatility but risks include scams and unproven business models. Entrepreneurship allows for novel business ideas, but challenges are competing with well-funded projects and needing developers to realize ideas. Overall, the key is to educate oneself on Ethereum, connect with others, and formalize agreements.

#cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency uses cryptography to function as a decentralized digital medium of exchange. It is built using blockchain technology, which creates an indisputable digital ledger that verifies transactions without a central authority. This allows for the scarcity, transferability, and fungibility required of money. Popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, which uses a network of miners to verify transactions and are awarded new coins. Other potential uses of blockchain technology beyond currency include financial applications, digital identity services, and tracking supply chains. However, cryptocurrency investment also carries risks like volatility, loss of funds if private keys are lost, and potential for illicit use.
Innovation in Byzantine consensus protocols is helping decentralized networks scale up and become highly performant, possibly faster than centralized networks. Investment growth in Bitcoin and FinTech startups, and enterprise blockchain applications in development in multiple sectors
This document discusses blockchains and how they build trust in transactions between untrusted parties. It explains that blockchains solve the "Byzantine Generals Problem" by using cryptography and distributed ledgers to authenticate transactions and detect tampering. Smart contracts can then automatically execute transactions recorded on the blockchain without needing to trust intermediaries. This allows for decentralized applications of government services, insurance, and social programs on a national blockchain.
The future of ICOs - Thoughts after beeing back from #DEVCON3Vidal Chriqui
- ICOs will continue but may raise less money as investors become more sophisticated
- Ethereum developers are concerned about too many focus on ICOs instead of protocol upgrades
- Future tokens will be classified based on their use as currency substitutes or investments backed by an issuer
- Standards like ERC-223 and contracts like MiniMe could become more common as they provide more flexibility than ERC-20
- Interactive coin offerings may help set market prices rather than arbitrary valuations
- Upgradable smart contracts are needed to fix bugs and add features based on user feedback
Crypto Think Tank Presentation on Alternative Cryptocurrency Feb 16, 2014 at ...cryptothinktank
The document discusses the current landscape of alternative cryptocurrencies or altcoins. It outlines that there are currently over 100 altcoins listed, with Litecoin being the most popular and second largest after Bitcoin. Altcoins use different hashing algorithms like SHA for Bitcoin versus scrypt for Litecoin. Mining adjusts difficulty to maintain block generation times and can be done using CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs or ASICs. The future of altcoins is uncertain but a few may survive based on their purpose, popularity and resistance to regulation and centralization of mining hardware.
This document discusses the synergy between artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology. It describes how blockchain provides a means of distributed data storage and consensus that can enable more efficient multi-agent AI systems. Blockchain allows for open data exchange in trustless environments and its distributed ledger is well-suited for applications like machine learning. The document also outlines how AI could power technologies like the Internet of Things that blockchain relies on.
This document discusses the pros and cons of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that companies should consider. It outlines key aspects of blockchain technology and how NFTs work. The document also examines various intellectual property issues that can arise with NFTs, including copyright, right of publicity, trademarks, and moral rights. Potential copyright issues are raised if an NFT depicts an existing work. Right of publicity laws also vary by state and are balanced with free expression rights. Trademark issues may occur if NFTs depict third-party marks or celebrity personas used as brands. Moral rights in the US protect attribution and integrity.

DApps all around - the state of decentralized developmentBlockStars.io
At www.bitcoinference.com autumn 2015, Aron van Ammers showed five decentralized apps with working versions available today, to give an impression of what is and isn't possible in the current state of decentralized development.
From "decentralized money" to "decentralized everything", Bitcoin has inspired a revolution in application development. Blockchain technology like Ethereum enables a wide range of possibilities far beyond currency.
Decentralized apps (DApps) are applications that don't require a central party or server to function, typically backed by a blockchain. Aron van Ammers gave a showcase of five DApps currently available or being developed and highlighted their challenges and possibilities.
Blockchain technology plays a key role in the development of the metaverse in several ways:
1) It allows for data trust and reliability by providing a secure and decentralized record of transactions.
2) Blockchain ensures data security and decentralization by storing data across many nodes.
3) Smart contracts facilitate interactions and regulate relations between participants in the metaverse.
4) Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will be essential for proving ownership of digital assets in the metaverse.
A new type of legal contract
Using blockchain technology, smart contracts rely on computers to automatically enforce the rules and penalties of an agreement. While many have predicted that they will undermine the need for lawyers (while also opening new avenues for aggrieved parties to sue), smart contracts are already being used to transfer properties, purchase goods, and wire funds.

Introduction to blockchain and decentralized justice by Federico AstFederico Ast
The document discusses blockchain technology and its applications, including cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. It introduces Kleros, a platform that uses blockchain and smart contracts to create a decentralized arbitration system called Pinakion for resolving disputes in a variety of domains through crowdsourced jury decisions. The Kleros team is described as being led by experts in computer science and decentralized systems.
The problem of identity has attracted a whole flock of developers in the blockchain and distributed ledger space who see these technologies as a way to scoop up all the scraps of an individual’s online identity, consolidate them and put them under the individual’s control. These include Sovrin, Civic, ShoCard and uPort among others. This talk discusses some of the challenges with identity on the internet and the potential benefits that blockchain technology can offer. It also outlines the concepts of creating identities on a blockchain and attaching trusted endorsements or seals to those identities that can be used to provide evidence that some due diligence or verification event has been carried out by a trusted organization without storing “Personal Data” or “Personally Identifiable Information (PII)” on a shared distributed ledger.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technology and distributed ledgers. It begins with the story of Bitcoin's origins in response to the 2008 financial crisis. It then explains key concepts like distributed ledgers, smart contracts, tokens, proof-of-work, private-public keys, and addresses. Issues discussed include classification of cryptocurrencies, identity, complexity challenges, legal issues, capital raising, data ownership, and energy consumption concerns related to mining. The goal is to help understand implications of this technology for citizens, businesses, and governments.
This document provides an introduction to blockchain credit and distributed ledger technology. It discusses the problems with traditional systems that rely on centralized authorities, and how blockchain solves this through decentralization and immutability. Blockchain achieves this by bundling digital messages into cryptographically-secured blocks that are linked together in a timestamped chain. This allows for the chronicling of transactions in a way that anyone can verify but cannot be altered. The document then discusses applications of blockchain like cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and blockchain platforms like Hyperledger and R3. It also covers criticisms of blockchain and fundamentals of cryptographic hash functions used in blockchain.
The document summarizes key discussions from the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) regarding blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Several companies highlighted blockchain applications for connected devices, decentralized data sharing, digital identity, and automating payments for autonomous vehicles. Speakers at the Digital Money Forum discussed the growth of cryptocurrencies in 2017 and expectations for regulation and adoption in 2018. While still nascent at CES, the era of decentralization and moving beyond centralized platforms is underway, with blockchain and AI enabling user sovereignty and new business models for machine-to-machine economies.

How will Bitcoin and Blockchains disrupt industries, such as banking, and create a wave of new machine-to-machine applications on nano-payments and autonomous digital corporations.
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are emerging technologies that are still not fully understood. There are differing views on their value. Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger of transactions that is replicated across multiple computers. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use blockchain technology, and their value comes from factors like production costs, scarcity, and utility. Ethereum enables decentralized applications and smart contracts through its cryptocurrency Ether. Altcoins have proliferated since Bitcoin, with some gaining significant value through network effects. Initial coin offerings have also raised billions for new blockchain projects.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

5 Tips for Creating Standard Financial ReportsEasyReports
Well-crafted financial reports serve as vital tools for decision-making and transparency within an organization. By following the undermentioned tips, you can create standardized financial reports that effectively communicate your company's financial health and performance to stakeholders.
Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
The Universal Account Number (UAN) by EPFO centralizes multiple PF accounts, simplifying management for Indian employees. It streamlines PF transfers, withdrawals, and KYC updates, providing transparency and reducing employer dependency. Despite challenges like digital literacy and internet access, UAN is vital for financial empowerment and efficient provident fund management in today's digital age.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

• Immutable (tamper proof record keeping (e.g. Land Registry)),
• Cryptography,
• Privacy - Anonymous transactions,
• scarcity
Overview
Blockchain - Empowering technology for peer to peer value transfer /
Potential threat for the Intermediaries (banks and remittances Industry…)
5. Actors/Participants:
• Developers, miners, end users, investors, Exchanges
Cryptography:
• Each data block has a hash (digital fingerprint), linking blocks into
blockchain
• Hash is fixed length - Hash has characteristic called “difficulty level” to
make it difficult to calculate hash for a block (Mathematical problem to
solve – called Proof of Work (PoW))
Mining:
• There is a huge reward to solve this mathematical problem, which is
called mining, each block reward for bitcoin is 12.5 bitcoins
Challenges:
• Unregulated Industry - KYC, AML regulations
• Government compliance (Threat or Opportunity): Japan, US, UK,
South Korea, Dubai, Hong Kong, Malta, Switzerland, China, India);

people have started doubting it as a leader…
8. Use Cases and Marketplace:
• Marketcap for cryptocurrencies is $400Billion+,
expected to touch $1+ Trillion by 2020
• [Perspective: Total Gold as Asset class is c$7 Trillion], with
1600+ cryptocurrencies listed in coinmarketcap.com
• Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency use case,
which has survived through test of time (9 years old)
Popular name for all other cryptocurrencies is alternate
coins (Alt coins)
• Top use cases by market capitalisation are Ethereum,
Bitcoin Cash, EOS, Ripple, ADA (Cardano), Litecoin,
IOTA, NEO etc.
• Content publishing (Steem), exchanges to buy and sell
cryptocurrencies (Bittrex, Bitfinex, Binance, Bancor),
Tokenise physical assets (Polymath), Augur (Predictive
analysis), Golem (distributed supercomputer) etc.
UseCases
Marketplace is buzzing with Innovation!!!
9. Since 2008 there are prominently 3 generations of growth
from digital peer to peer value transfer (Bitcoin – Gen 1)
to smart contracts (Ethereum – Gen 2) and now scalable
and interoperable blockchains (NEO, EOS , TRON and
ADA – Gen 3) with good governance…
10. Gen 1: Bitcoin
• Started in 2009 and stormed the world
• Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper in 2008, perfect timing (time of
financial meltdown)
Problems and solutions:
• Establish trust in the decentralised environment –To transact with
strangers without an intermediary
• Double spend problem in the digital realm – node confirmations
• Reliability - decentralised protocol ensuring that digital asset will
move fromA (sender) to B (receiver) – Protocol
• Fraud - Immutability of data (Using cryptography)
Current Issues:
• Governance – Hard forks
• Bitcoin Cash
• Bitcoin Gold
• Bitcoin diamond, private
• Settlement time – Block created every 10 minutes
Capability
Capability of the decentralised ecosystem has grown from Gen 1, Gen 2 to now @Gen 3,
since 2009…
11. Gen 2: Ethereum Smart Contracts
• Changed the blockchain paradigm by introduction of smart contracts
• Whole world transactions can happen using smart contracts, which can
automatically execute once the conditions are met
Problems and solutions:
• Wide variety of solutions can be built using Ethereum platfrom
• Advertising – BAT
• Predictive Analytics – Augur
• OmiseGo – Open payments platform
• Civic – Identity management
Current Issues:
• Scalability (e.g. Cryptokitties)
• Vitalik Buterin (Founder of Ethereum) - Announced PoC for ‘Sharding’,
which would potentially increase the processing speed of blockchain
Capability
Capability of the decentralised ecosystem has grown from Gen 1, Gen 2 to now @Gen 3,
since 2009…
12. Gen 3: NEO, EOS, ADA, TRON
ADA (Cardano)
• Solving 3 problems – Governance, Scalability and Interoperability
EOS
• Mainnet launched in June 2018
• Improve upon the Ethereum
NEO – Ethereum of China
• May run whole country operations on it (Scalable)
Current Issues:
• Still in infancy, not fully operational, some (EOS) got mainet just
launched, some (ADA) are launching testnets end of June
Capability
Capability of the decentralised ecosystem has grown from Gen 1, Gen 2 to now @Gen 3,
since 2009…
13. FS Industry, many other Industry sectors and
even Governments and experimenting with the
DLT solutions…Interesting huh!!!
14. Unprecedented innovation in this space
• Financial ecosystems
• Buy/Sell properties using Bitcoin
• Diamond Industry (IMB using Hyperledger) –Trace diamond
from mine to users hand (tackling fraud)
• Private blockchain initiatives – “R3 initiative” – Consortium of
more than 200 firms in R&D [Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan,
BOA, Barclays] - geared towards financial world (Platform
Corda)…
Solution
Moving into other sectors such as diamond Industry supply chain and shipping Industries,
where systems are in silos and huge frauds!!!
15. IT Giants entering the market (with caution):
Oracle
• Teaming up with Banco de Chile to log interbank transactions
on Hyperledger
• Nigeria's government - custom and import duties using DLT
• Pharmaceutical companies - track and trace batches of
medicine
Amazon:
• AWS - Introduced templates for Ethereum and Hyperledger
Fabric
Microsoft:
• Partnership with Ethereum based startup, ConsenSys to
deliver Ethereum Blockchain as a Service (E BaaS) – On Azure
Solution
IT Giants testing this space!!!
16. Security landscape:
• People are getting familiar with 2 factor authentication – To
protect their digital assets there is a need to learn security traits
to ensure safekeeping of digital assets [10s of Million worth of
cryptocurrency tokens were stolen from major exchanges (e.g.
NEM)]
• Cryptography is key feature in blockchain ecosystem (Hash)
• Wallets – Wallets on Exchange, where you do not control your
private keys; Software Wallets on your computer (Exodus) –You
own your private keys; hardware wallet (Trezor etc.) –You own
your keys on hardware wallet, where firmware of the hardware
stores the private keys and never leave hardware device.
• Recovery – “Seed” - 12 words in a sequence - used to recover your
digital assets, in case your device crashes
Solution
Security!!!
17. It is too early to judge the future of this
worldwide fundamental of Trust and
global political power distribution!!!
