Dave Collins (http://texasbitcoinconference.com/speakers/74-dave-collins) and Marco Peereboom (https://conformal.com/about-us.html) will join us to explain Btcd (https://github.com/conformal/btcd), an open source implementation of the Bitcoin protocol written in Go.



Developing cryptocurrencies is an exciting endeavor that touches a wide variety of areas such as wire protocols, peer-to-peer networking, databases, cryptography, language interpretation (transaction scripts), RPC, websockets, and QA.



Dave and Marco will describe how they approached these areas from a Go perspective and their future plans and roadmap for the project.



This is a joint event between the Austin Bitcoin meetup and Austin Go Language User Group (http://www.meetup.com/atxgolang/).
