Ever wonder how to buy bitcoins privately? Heard of bisq network but don't know how it works? In this video I explain it from a high level perspective.

MISTAKES:

The safeguard transaction is not optional in bisq, it's mandatory. One of the slides said it was optional; I meant that it's generally optional in bitcoin itself, but that created an ambiguity because it makes it sound like it's optional in bisq. Bisq makes the safeguard transaction a mandatory part of their trade protocol by refusing to trade with anyone who doesn't sign it.

Bisq is actively working to reduce trust in arbitrators and is considering at least one proposal to get rid of them.

Dispute funds go to the bisq donation address, but if an arbitrator reimburses someone, he doesn't get compensated automatically. Instead, there is a process of approval among bisq contributors which involves voting for who controls the donation address. This helps reduce the amoutn of trust placed in an arbitrator.

Bisq is a P2P exchange for cryptocurrencies. As part of Bisq’s “decentralize everything!” approach, the organization that develops Bisq is in the process of transforming itself into a DAO.

Bisq DAO is a second-layer solution on top of Bitcoin blockchain. The Bisq DAO enables, among other things, payment to Bisq contributors, the appointment of roles in the Bisq organization, and the adjustment of parameters in the Bisq trading protocol.

This talk presents an overview of the technical design of the Bisq DAO, with a focus on the high level blockchain model that enables a construction of a second layer DAOs on top of Bitcoin. The Bisq DAO is already up and running, currently in a testing environment, with a scheduled mainnet deployment set for 2019.

Room: H.1302 (Depage)

Check out https://mathbot.com to see how Bitcoin and the Lightning Network will help disrupt the invisible hand of corruption that is our current educational system. Visit our Vision Statement https://goo.gl/h1Trni to see how we plan to disrupt that old, fragile, and outdated paradigm. Decentralize education.

Mathbot teaches kids, or adults, math and programming by giving a robot graphical commands to complete certain tasks. Using Euclid’s method of teaching (which was the way math was taught for 2,300 years), Mathbot gently guides users to discover mathematical principles out for themselves (not by boring, rote repetition). By the time someone completes even just a few levels, they will begin to understand math in a new way—in an intuitive way. They’ll begin to know the math in their very bones. It’s also quite fun and satisfying.

CHRIS BEAMS

We’ve heard a lot about decentralized autonomous organizations over the last several years, but thus far few have become fully operational. In this talk we’ll look at the practical considerations of designing and building a real-world DAO, using the Bisq exchange and its forthcoming DAO as a case study.

In this talk we'll explore Bisq – a decentralized, peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange that allows people to trade bitcoin for national currencies like US dollars and Euros, as well as for other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Monero and Namecoin. Bisq has been in development since early 2014 and in production since mid-2016, with a no-compromises approach to security, privacy and censorship resistance.

Exchanges are often criticized as a central point of failure of the cryptocurrency space. This isn't without justification as, in recent years, we have seen a number of exchanges get hacked, robbed, or embezzled by their founders, which is far from insignificant. One proposed alternative are decentralized exchanges that would allow people make peer-to-peer trades using sophisticated smart contracts. However, there remains the fundamental challenge of interfacing with the legacy banking system.

Manfred Karrer joins us for a lengthy discussion on Bitsquare, a decentralized cryptocyrrency exchange which supports most fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Built to be a decentralized equivalent of LocalBitcoins, the Bitsquare client, which connects to the peer-to-peer network, uses Tor by default, which makes it almost completely anonymous. There are also a number of safeguards in place to eliminate the potential for fraud and theft, as well as an arbitration system to resolve disputes between traders.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

- The motivation behind Bitsquare
- The Bitsquare client and user experience
- A walkthrough of a typical trade
- The mechanics of the order book
- The fiat currency transfer mechanism
- The current and future arbitration process
- Manfred's thoughts on DAOs
- Bitsquare's product roadmap
