PROGRAMMABLE-MONEY
( the somewhat visual guide to bitcoin as a technology )
But first, I have a confession …
Programmable Money - Visual Guide to Bitcoin as a Technology
WHAT IS BITCOIN …?

• Is it a Commodity, Currency or Technology …?
• For this presentation - it is all about FREEDOM
• When referring to Bitcoin in this presentation,
I am referring to decentralized trust …
(aka The Block-Chain)
• Public ledgers enforcing transparency …
• But won’t, under ANY circumstances talk politics!
EXCEPT THIS – FROM VISUAL GUIDE TO CYPRO-CURRENCIES

http://slidesha.re/ZBLJXM
( the final straw )
But seriously, no politics!
( just technicalities – and google )
BITCOIN SUCKS
930,000 RESULTS
https://www.google.com/search?q=bitcoin+sucks
BITCOIN ROCKS
65,400,000 RESULTS
https://www.google.com/search?q=bitcoin+rocks
70 times as good as its not!
( and it seems I am not alone in thinking so )
Bitcoin will do to banks what
email did to the postal industry
-- Rick Falkvinge (Swedish Politician)

Bitcoin is a techno tour de force
-- Bill Gates (Redistributed BASIC)
DO WE NOT ALREADY HAVE PROGRAMMABLE MONEY?

• Square, Stripe, V.me, Simple, etc …
• Only available to developers in States / Europe

• Local alternatives are complicated, costly & useless
• No options for instant starts …
• No options for anonymity or the billions of us unbanked
• And this makes me angrier than I am with most things
A DEVELOPER WITHOUT CHOICE IS AN UNHAPPY DEVELOPER
BITCOIN TECHNOLOGY STACK

• Uses LevelDB to access (via JSON) a globally
distributed public ledger of all transactions
• Send and receive payments instantly and directly via
JSON-RPC calls from any server-side language …
• Existing wrappers, frameworks, documentation,
libraries and support for PHP, Ruby, NodeJS
• Still in Beta (0.8) with Market Cap of US$2 Billion
• Version 0.9 to bring payment requests and receipts!
WHY IS IT PROGRAMMABLE …?

• An open API available to anyone
• Where transaction fees and identification are optional
• All the underlying technologies are OpenSource
• No central authority to prevent innovation
• Easily accessible, always-on and always neutral
• It can be easily embedded into hardware, such as …
THE BITCOIN AND RASPBERRY PI POWERED POOL TABLE
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pool-table-raspberry-pi/
RASPBERRY PI POWERED PAPER WALLET PRINTER
http://piper.pw/
BITCOIN ATMs GALORE
TOLD YOU SO!!!
BITCOIN AS THE PAYMENT PROTCOL OF THE WEB

• Being open and programmable is one thing…
• Being something that is not email-based in trust is another…
• As a web-based technology, it is a server waiting for JSON-RPC
requests with simple functions (example in PHP) such as:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------$fbi_address = ‘1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX’;
$transaction_id = $api->btc(array(
'function‘
=> 'send',
'options'
=> array(
'to'
=> $fbi_address,
'amount'
=> 0.00000001
)
));
Crypto-Currencies are decentralized
payment APIs for the web, available to
anyone with internet, no questions asked
( perfect for content pay-walls – ask me after )
BEATCOIN (BITCOIN POWERED JUKEBOX)
http://tcrn.ch/Hp34jx
BITVEGAS (CASINO IN MINECRAFT)
TRSST (DECENTRALIZED MARKETING)
BIT-MESSAGE (DECENTRALIZED COMMUNICATION)
But that’s way too technical
( which is why there are so many opportunities for techies )

Programmable Money - Visual Guide to Bitcoin as a Technology

  • 1. PROGRAMMABLE-MONEY ( the somewhat visual guide to bitcoin as a technology )
  • 2. But first, I have a confession …
  • 4. WHAT IS BITCOIN …? • Is it a Commodity, Currency or Technology …? • For this presentation - it is all about FREEDOM • When referring to Bitcoin in this presentation, I am referring to decentralized trust … (aka The Block-Chain) • Public ledgers enforcing transparency … • But won’t, under ANY circumstances talk politics!
  • 5. EXCEPT THIS – FROM VISUAL GUIDE TO CYPRO-CURRENCIES http://slidesha.re/ZBLJXM ( the final straw )
  • 6. But seriously, no politics! ( just technicalities – and google )
  • 9. 70 times as good as its not! ( and it seems I am not alone in thinking so )
  • 10. Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry -- Rick Falkvinge (Swedish Politician) Bitcoin is a techno tour de force -- Bill Gates (Redistributed BASIC)
  • 11. DO WE NOT ALREADY HAVE PROGRAMMABLE MONEY? • Square, Stripe, V.me, Simple, etc … • Only available to developers in States / Europe • Local alternatives are complicated, costly & useless • No options for instant starts … • No options for anonymity or the billions of us unbanked • And this makes me angrier than I am with most things
  • 12. A DEVELOPER WITHOUT CHOICE IS AN UNHAPPY DEVELOPER
  • 13. BITCOIN TECHNOLOGY STACK • Uses LevelDB to access (via JSON) a globally distributed public ledger of all transactions • Send and receive payments instantly and directly via JSON-RPC calls from any server-side language … • Existing wrappers, frameworks, documentation, libraries and support for PHP, Ruby, NodeJS • Still in Beta (0.8) with Market Cap of US$2 Billion • Version 0.9 to bring payment requests and receipts!
  • 14. WHY IS IT PROGRAMMABLE …? • An open API available to anyone • Where transaction fees and identification are optional • All the underlying technologies are OpenSource • No central authority to prevent innovation • Easily accessible, always-on and always neutral • It can be easily embedded into hardware, such as …
  • 15. THE BITCOIN AND RASPBERRY PI POWERED POOL TABLE http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pool-table-raspberry-pi/
  • 16. RASPBERRY PI POWERED PAPER WALLET PRINTER http://piper.pw/
  • 19. BITCOIN AS THE PAYMENT PROTCOL OF THE WEB • Being open and programmable is one thing… • Being something that is not email-based in trust is another… • As a web-based technology, it is a server waiting for JSON-RPC requests with simple functions (example in PHP) such as: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------$fbi_address = ‘1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX’; $transaction_id = $api->btc(array( 'function‘ => 'send', 'options' => array( 'to' => $fbi_address, 'amount' => 0.00000001 ) ));
  • 20. Crypto-Currencies are decentralized payment APIs for the web, available to anyone with internet, no questions asked ( perfect for content pay-walls – ask me after )
  • 21. BEATCOIN (BITCOIN POWERED JUKEBOX) http://tcrn.ch/Hp34jx
  • 22. BITVEGAS (CASINO IN MINECRAFT)
  • 25. But that’s way too technical ( which is why there are so many opportunities for techies )
