Welcome to the 2nd Blockstack Berlin Meetup. Last time, Blockstack partnered with IPFS and this time we're partnering with IPDB for a joint meetup in Berlin!



Some of the Blockstack developers are in town for the Tech Open Air festival and in the spirit of TOA we'll have a technical discussion on blockchains followed by drinks.



This event is for anyone interested in decentralized Web, ownership of your data, building user-controlled applications, Internet security, scaling decentralized databases, and of course blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.



Schedule (tentative):



(a) An introduction to Blockstack (http://blockstack.org/), the blockchain application stack with services for naming, identity, authentication, and storage.



(b) Overview of IPDB (http://ipdb.foundation), a planetary-scale blockchain database and how caretaker nodes work.



(c) Discussion of the recent DAO attack on Ethereum and difference between simple contracts and smart contracts.



(d) Status update of Blockstack server development, and review of recent Github commits (https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-server/commits/release-candidate).



(e) Demo of the Blockstack CLI, and intro to building decentralized applications.



Everyone is welcome to attend! We plan to have pizza and beverages.



At 7:30pm we'll move to some bar near by.
