Stanford conference: Blockchain Protocol Analysis & Security Engineering 2017

[bgibson]

Hi all, I'm helping organize an academic technical conference at Stanford in late January.  The intent is to highlight ongoing efforts to better understand and develop the computer science of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, blockchain, and DLT protocols, both permissionless and permissioned, particularly around security:

CFP is ongoing, if anyone is working on a project or research that may be relevant, we'd love to see it.  In the interest of respecting everyone's limited time, the submission does not have to be extremely polished - a talk abstract or presentation slides are ok, as long as there's enough info to reasonably evaluate it.

Happy to answer any questions.

It would be better to post this on the Bitcoin dev mailing list as most developers and technical experts no longer frequent this forum.

Ok thanks, wasn't sure if it would be off-topic there though, I don't see many conference announcements there.  Do you think they'd be ok with it?

Asking for proposals and topics for a conference is ok, so long as those topics and the conference itself are technical/development related. Previous major conferences (scaling bitcoin, etc.) have made postings there.

Ah ok, will do that, thank you!
