What would happen to your coins if you were to die in the next three hours? Would they be lost forever? Would your relatives be able to recover them?

Descriptors, timelocks, taproot. 0% custodians.

You can decentralise yourself with renewable energy sources, but you need still allowance from them. And many renewables are anyhow visible. But how to use their narratives for more freedom in physical world. How not to even give them a chance to fire the last shot.

We establish the foundations of Composite Artificial Intelligence through symbolic reasoning and machine learning, and show how it can be applied for building intelligent automation systems solving practical real-world problems.

We like to show the release of the WebUI for RaspiBlitz v1.8.0 and discuss the future of the Bitcoin & Lightning full node project.

Putting the “flag theory” into practice is the goal of all permanent travelers to free themselves as much as possible from one system and to have the most pleasant, cheapest, and most importantly, free life without bureaucrats and meaningless obligations.

Technology itself is a tool, rather than being imbibed with some moral or ethical agency, but certain technologies at certain times swing the balance toward individual liberty rather than collective oppression.

Recently democratic governments have been pushing back against end-to-end encryption, motivated by law enforcement considerations. But this undermines national security interests, especially in the current geopolitical context.

Required knowledge of abstract algebra: groups, rings, fields, homomorphisms. We will discuss the basics of abstract algebra, and derive the elliptic curve group law using divisor class groups.

Even though there is no state where democracy would be completely efficient, the fact is that it is the current political system. We can improve it by implementing blockchain "features" within the system and thereby make the whole system better and faster.

Nym offers two core technologies for network and application level metadata privacy. This talk will cover the current state of using the network with different applications such as chat apps and wallets, the architecture of these technologies, and how developers can build on Nym.

The idea of individual sovereignty lies at the core of the foundation of cryptoanarchy. Last years had revealed that sovereignty can’t be purely digital. So while the ideas of cypherpunks are required and stuff like privacy-based technologies are a must have, we can’t survive and go into the future of the society we’d like to build with just them.

Zero-knowledge proofs have become a central tool for blockchain privacy and scalability. I will give a few examples of such proofs, starting from toy examples requiring no math, and ending with the state of the art zk-SNARK constructions based on elliptic curve pairings.

What's crypto's line of self defense against hegemony and centralisation? This talk will analyze privacy projects, macro economy and crypto narratives through the scope of lunarpunk and historical lessons.

We live in a capitalist society that is constantly sending out inputs that stimulate our senses on a daily basis.
