Blockchains are an exciting solution to an old problem, but the first blockchain was produced and is still maintained by a group of volunteers, releasing world-class software for all to use freely.
Rusty Russell uses his 20 years of experience writing community-produced software to describe how we got here, and just possibly, what will happen in the future.
Rusty Russell is an Australian free software programmer and advocate, best known for his work alongside Linux luminaries like Linus Torvalds over the last few decades. He founded the influential linux.conf.au series of conferences in 1999 which continue to this day, and is responsible for dozens of projects which contribute to the productivity of programmers around the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
