During these two days, many workshops will give Surfin’ Bitcoin 2022 participants the opportunity to discuss topics related to Bitcoin. 38 speakers will be divided into two rooms (Satoshi & Nakamoto). Among them, there are many Bitcoin Core and Lightning Network developers, as well as researchers specializing in the connected environment and computer security.
The conference is organized by StackinSat, which chose to dedicate the conference “Towards a Better Bitcoin” to scientific research on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network in collaboration with the University of Pau, UPPA.
Attractive workshops in perspective
Surfin’ Bitcoin will welcome many players from the crypto world. Gloria Zhao, newly appointed Bitcoin Core Curator, will review a Pull Request on Bitcoin Core. Antoine Poinsot, who will lead two workshops on miniscript and covenants, two major evolutions of Bitcoin allowing the development of smart contracts to advance. Roy Sheinfeld will talk about integrating the Lightning Network into the web, which will pave the way for many new uses for Bitcoin.
Most of the workshops will deal with highly technical topics, related to the Bitcoin protocol and the development tools that use it, but three other topics will also be covered. The first will be about bitcoin mining, its consensus mechanism: proof of work (PoW) and its positive impact on the energy industry and the development of renewable energy. The second will be about privacy, why it’s a critical issue, what to be aware of and the tools to use to protect yourself.
The last part will be about economics and finance, the speakers will discuss the Austrian school of economics in which bitcoin is a part, taxation, wealth management and solutions to serve bitcoin in human business.
“Towards a Better Bitcoin”
StackinSat is a member of the OpenCEMS research chair. In this context, especially under the leadership of Richard Chbeir, its director, the company is organizing the conference Towards Better Bitcoin. It will take place on Saturday 27 August, and aims to connect the academic world with bitcoiners from all walks of life.
Therefore, research papers will be presented on very specific topics related to the Lightning Network and mining pools. Elie Chicha will present an unpublished article on PTLC, an upcoming development of the Lightning Network. This new technology will allow more privacy, but will also introduce new limits. This paper presents a probabilistic approach to solving these emerging problems.
