-Not really a road show, just some geeky, tech. stuff I thought linux users could be interested in. I'll keep my focus technical (not politcal), open source and linux app relevant.
+!Abstract:
-The open format
with audience interaction sounds ideal. I'll send through
a short abstract when I get
the outline together
.
+We begin
with a brief historical background of monetary information technologies, digital currencies
+and p2p currency. Next is an introduction to
the open source bitcoin protocol, block-chaining, the coin
+issuance algorithm, the recording and securing of transactions. After these preliminaries, the talk will
+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
+given. Next we'll go "under the hood" and look at how the code and the network is functioning. Topics
+that can be covered include, but not limited to; location of significant files, configuration of the
+bitcoin.conf file, securing the private keys contained within wallet.dat file, running "bitcoind" on a
+linux machine with the command line query/response interface, building the code from source and
+alternate clients. Finally, we'll finish up with a demonstration of a 6 node GPU OpenCL GPGPU
+cluster, aka bitcoin "mining rig" in action.
