Hi,
I was at the Inside Bitcoin Conference in Berlin the last two days. There was nothing groundbreaking new but some sitenotes might be of interest to you all. Here we go...
Mastercoin guys were all over the place wearing white Mastercoin heads.
One Bit Angels guy (I look up his name if anyone is interested) is planing on doing a fund for DACs building on top of Ethereum.
Same BitAngels guy and Paul Snow (also associated with Ethereum) promoted the Texas Bitcoin conference this summer. They will do a Hackathon to attrackt dev. talents as part of the conference. Might be interesing for you....
Talked to Paul Snow a bit. He kept on calling it PayShares (meant Bitshares)... We came to the conclusion that POS has all advantages over POW except that you dont know for sure exclude the possiblity that someone or a group of people buys a hughe amount of the POS stake at the begiinning to a degree dangerous for security. Because POW gets deluted over time you would have to keep this up also when the coin is very popular / expensive. An argument for POW was that Fees didnt matter that much to the success of the service. We disagreed a bit on the importance of these arguments.
More institutional investors seem to plan to come to the space but main focus seems to be on supporting a way to buy bitcoin like you buy company shares.
Three NXT guys where there with NXT T-Shirts.
Mastercoin and Ethereum seem to popular with the Bitcoin "elite" (those with money and connections). Give those guys some free PTS/AGS
Wirelesss was a mess. Organizer guy said it had to do with the audience (wallets, mining?). He didnt know... MAybe something to look at twice for the Beyonf Bitcoin Conf. you are planing.
General focus was on bitcoin comanies, bitcon itself. More general potential of DACs was not the narative...
Forgot the rest. Ask if you wanna know anything in particular...
