Intro to Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves (advanced workshop)
10-02, 10:00–12:00 (Europe/Prague), Institute of Cryptoanarchy

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.

As part of the forming Bitcoin community, Amir became an early Bitcoin developer, author of the BIP process, and the Libbitcoin implementation. With contributions to many free and open-source projects, he collaborated with Cody Wilson on launching Darkwallet and laid the foundations for OpenBazaar. Later, he spent nearly 2 years in the Rojava revolution, first for nearly 4 months fighting in the YPG and then working for the administration on economic projects. Today, Amir is focused on the DarkFi project, a network bringing anonymity to decentralized finance, and is still working towards building an agonistic revolutionary hacker movement.
