At our meetup location “De Leckere”, Utrecht

As you might have noticed in the Ark slack we organized another Ark meetup, in collaboration with Samuel (yokoama) from thefoundry delegate, in Utrecht. We met some familiar faces from our first meetup in Nijmegen and some new faces from all over the Netherlands. For this meetup we wanted to keep the informal atmosphere, but we also wanted to let everyone know what blockchain is about and especially what the Ark Ecosystem is about. Therefore we had some short presentations in which Samuel told us what the Ark Community Fund (ACF) is doing. We even got a sneak preview of their new website which will make sending in a proposal for funding more streamlined and user friendly. So if you have an idea (also if it is something non programming related) which could help the Ark Ecosystem do not hesitate and hand in that proposal!

Samuel talking about the ACF

After Samuel’s talk Charles gave another of his famous blockchain lectures, this time spreading knowledge about what the difference is betweenconsensus mechanisms (POW, POS and DPoS) and why they are needed. After these talks we (ofcourse) had some more drinks and snacks. We had a great time at the meetup and we hope the people who came to the meetup had a great time as well. We would also like to invite people to join our next meetup, which we will surely organize somewhere in the future.
