The Crypto Renaissance is today. My fireside: https://youtu.be/WLIEo15E_9M?t=9933
I’ll cover some Old Crusty Crypto: 1994 saw the first crypto payment on the internet. Long before smart contracts or NFT vernacular, I wrote an article on the greater possibilities, in 1994: “digital cash techniques can be used to protect IP… including the registration of digital artwork originals.”— from my 2012 discovery of the article, in the era of BTC https://flic.kr/p/dPcqJ1
Way back in 1985, my undergrad advisor was Marty Hellman. Also spent time with Ralph Merkle at Foresight Institute brain spa weekends. (The pioneers of public key cryptography). I found it fascinating, but I got distracted by neural networks on parallel compute substrates by the time I started and left my PhD.
Lots of fun topics today at #CryptoRen
