We begin with a brief historical background of monetary information technologies, digital currencies |
| |
|
13 |
and p2p currency. Next is an introduction to the open source bitcoin protocol, block-chaining, the coin |
| |
|
14 |
issuance algorithm, the recording and securing of transactions. After these preliminaries, the talk will |
| |
|
15 |
be an open-floor format discussion with demonstrations. |

A short user-space demo of web wallet, bitcoin client and send/receive public key address usage will be |
| |
|
18 |
given. Next we'll go "under the hood" and look at how the code and the network is functioning. Topics |
| |
|
19 |
that can be covered include, but not limited to; location of significant files, configuration of the |
| |
|
20 |
bitcoin.conf file, securing the private keys contained within wallet.dat file, running "bitcoind" on a |
| |
|
21 |
linux machine with the command line query/response interface, building the code from source and |
| |
|
22 |
alternate clients. Finally, we'll finish up with a demonstration of a 6 node GPU OpenCL GPGPU |
| |
|
23 |
cluster, aka bitcoin "mining rig" in action. |
