Dear all,



I'm pleased to announce another very interesting speaker at our Meetup: TJ Saw, co-founder of Ethcore, and currently its CFO. TJ was formerly a technology lawyer and has a background in mathematics.



During his talk, TJ will share his vision of how to bring the speed and stability of Ethereum to the next level - with Ethcore's Ethereum client “Parity”.



For industry-grade applications, speed, reliability, but also the option to configure a permissioned blockchain are very important. For these reasons, the newly formed Swiss Consortium who will bring OTC equity trading to the blockchain (https://www.hslu.ch/de-ch/hochschule-luzern/ueber-uns/medien/medienmitteilungen/2016/09/08/blockchain-als-basis-fuer-ausserboerslich-gehandelte-aktien/) has chosen Ethcore's Parity client as blockchain layer.



Parity is Ethcore's fully-featured and integrated Ethereum browser. It is the first in a series of planned software releases by Ethcore and the culmination of more than two years of lessons learned designing and implementing blockchains by the best minds in the industry. Implemented in Rust, it uses the cutting edge, highly sophisticated hybrid functional language to create a blockchain client which is uniquely high-performance, low-footprint and reliable.



I'm looking very much forward to an interesting and insightful discussion with TJ, and hope to see many of you at the event. Door opening is at 6:30 pm this coming Monday, the talk starts at 7:00pm.



Finally, a big thanks to ti&m who volonteered to host the event at short notice, and who is going to sponsor free beer after the speech :)
