At our next Coding from Beach (CfB) meetup on Thursday 3 October (6-8pm), we’re going deep into the world of blockchain technologies, without the BS and Buzzwords!
Join us for an informative session presented by Todd Price of BSV Blockchain. We’ll cut through the noise and focus on the fundamentals that enable real scalability and practical applications in blockchain technology.
What We’ll Cover:
-
Anatomy of a Transaction: We’ll start at the beginning—understanding the basic structure of a blockchain transaction is essential. No flashy jargon, just the nuts and bolts.
-
Scaling Up: Learn how a solid grasp of transactions leads to real scalability. We’ll discuss how Teranode processes 1 million transactions per second with fees consistently around 0.003¢.
-
Script Predicates and High-Level Languages: Explore the predicate system of Bitcoin Script and see how its low-level opcodes inspired the development of sCrypt-TS, simplifying the creation of smart contracts.
-
Developer Tools That Make Sense: Get introduced to SDKs in TypeScript, Go, and Python. Tools designed to help you build with standardized tooling that’s professionally maintained.
*The Overlay Services Paradigm: Discover a practical approach to building scalable applications using overlay services. Leverage the benefits of a public blockchain while maintaining full ACID and CRUD control over your data.
-
Introducing Project Babbage: We’ll present Project Babbage as the toolkit of choice for developing scalable applications aligned with future reference implementations. Build on a solid foundation instead of dead ends and vaporware.
-
Acknowledging Turing Completeness (Without the Hype): Yes, Bitcoin Script is Turing complete—as demonstrated by Ty Everett’s Bitcoin CPU built in sCrypt-TS. We’ll provide a brief mention and resources for those interested.
Who Should Attend:
-
Developers who value substance over spectacle.
-
Technologists interested in practical applications rather than theoretical promises.
-
Anyone weary of the hype and looking for a grounded, informative discussion.
A No-Nonsense Session:
This isn’t another event promising to change your life while emptying your wallet. Our goal is to provide clear, actionable insights into what blockchain technology can actually do—and how you can use it effectively.
Bring your questions and a healthy dose of skepticism. We’ll provide straightforward answers and practical knowledge, minus the hype.
As usual, we’ll kick off at 6pm with networking over gourmet pizza and drinks - thanks to our wonderful sponsors at Bendigo Bank - Community Bank Sunshine Coast.
RSVPs are essential -
