Campfires: Blockchain and more…
Campfire Events are all year calendar of tech talks around Portugal and Europe in small venues or office facilities, organized by the Pixels Camp team and their participant’s or partners.
Here’s how you can organize one, step by step.
Meanwhile, the calendar keeps adding up top talks about several topics. Next up we have:
Blockchain afternoon
This Wednesday, 6 pm, at Bright Pixel. You can’t miss these three talks about Blockchain technology. Don’t forget to bring your laptop.
Fundamentals
There have been a lot of great talks on the possibilities of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Concepts such as “distributed ledger” and immutability are used. While this is great and allows our imagination to run free, it may leave us somewhat confused on what exactly a blockchain is and how it works under the hood (the concept of “blockchain” was fuzzy to me for the longest time). In this talk, I will try to explain blockchain fundamentals, from a technical, low-level, point of view; starting with how hash functions work up to the concept of a blockchain itself. Hopefully, the talk will clear some doubts and raise new, more interesting, ones.

The future of crowdsourcing
Mitchell works primarily with blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, he lives and breathes crypto, and was marketing lead for the Ardor cryptocurrency distribution. He’ll be speaking with you about the future of crowdfunding.
By Mitchell Loureiro, VP of Marketing & Blockchain Crowdfunding Expert at SteemIt.
Creating a private Ethereum Testnet
This is a hands-on session, so bring your laptop. Ethereum software enables a user to set up a “private” or “testnet” Ethereum chain that is separate from the main Ethereum chain. In this session, we’ll create a private Testnet, explain the process step by step, and mine a few blocks at the end. You can name them your own coins.
By João Pina, System’s Architect at MeshApp.
We hear there’s free Drinks and Pizza at the end. 🍕
