Status / SWARM Orange Summit

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Jelle Gerbrandy from Paratii presents their decentralised video platform in the making that lets users share video content without the middleman and get rewarded for it.

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Ralph Pichler presents how Swear and Swindle contracts work as a means of arbitrage in case of promised services and make sure that those services are either provided or the customer is compensated. As it is proper, he gave the room a quick tour of the code.

In this presenation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Gregor Žavcer from Datafund presents their vision. In this video he explains the concept of data as labour; something that can bring revenue to others but is not their property. This concept is important because our digital and physical selves are starting to merge, so it matters who owns the digital side of us i.e. our data.

In this presenation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, NuCypher’s Michael Negorov presents the whys and hows of their decentralised key management system, using decentralised proxy re-encryption method.

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Louis Holbrook continued with his second presentation at the Swarm Orange Summit with a presentation on titled mutable resources. In this presentation he shows how to link dynamic content to a constant Swarm address, which is an essential capability for creating decentralised systems on Swarm.

In this presentation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Daniel Nagy gave a talk titled “Privacy on Swarm”. This presentation gives a basic overview of Swarm’s layered structure and how data chunks work, he then goes onto explaining the encryption algorithms and processes Swarm uses to protect data.

In this presentation from Day 1 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit Javier Peletier presents Ethergit, which combines Swarm storage with ethereum smart contracts for safer code storage and to achieve better code-governing logic.

In this presenation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Julien Bouteloup presents Flying Carpet, a decentralised charging station for drones. In the talk he showcases that Flying Carpet is much more than it looks at first sight since it mixes AI and blockchain in a very unique and clever way.

In this presentation from Day 3 An interesting take on Swarm use came from Ameer Ahmed in his talk “Ontologies for structured data in Swarm” where he presented an approach to categorising structured data such as museum catalogues.

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, swarm member Louis Holbrook presents the PSS - Postal Services over Swarm. In this video he explains PSS is a way of relaying messaging using a Swarm node. Giving an overview of how a node functions as a relay and ends the talk with a live setting up of a relay node

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Mainframe’s Shane Howley gives a talk on PSST. With the limitations in PSS when it comes to sending messages, in this presetation Howley proposes a PSS sockeT (PSST) that would alleviate these shortcomings (these include unreliability to deliver messages over several relays, size limitations and others). The socket takes inspiration from current internet protocols and acts in a similar way. The protocol’s design is done, now implementation, simulation and formal specification await.

In this presenation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Nikola Jokić from DA PowerPlay presented a run through of the technicalities of deploying Ethereum networks on Red Hat OpenShift solutions. The aim of this talk is to show possible steps to achieve production-ready Web2 software deployment.

In this presenation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Livepeer’s Eric Tang shows the principles behind Livepeer's decentralised and censorship-resistant video. The basic idea is that anyone, who can offer computational resources for transcoding, can join the network and provide value. The presentation then follows up with an overview of the general technical traits behind Livepeer, which in essence works as a transcoding market, and highlighted some of the issues that they still need to resolve.

In this presenation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, our very own team members Jacek Sieka and Boris Petrov from Satus research team present a brief overview of Status, the mobile Ethereum client, and Whisper. In the video there is a dicussion of balancing some issues, like privacy vs. performance, reviewing the protocol for publishing and doing a lot of work on the ecosystem as a whole.

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Dietmar Hofer from Artis, shares the interesting concept of streaming money. In the presentation he explains and proposes a method of money trasnfer that would reduce transaction costs, trust requirements and improve privacy.

In this presentation from Day 2 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Swarm’s developer @acud gives a talk on Swarm APIs. Since last year Swarm has received an upgrade in the form of three new supported Bzz API schemes: list, hash and resource. In the presenation he walks the audience through the steps of how to run a Swarm node and how to use the new Bzz schemes.

In this presentation from Day 3 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Balint Gabor presentation came as a continuation of David’s talk and centred on the implementation of encryption into Swarm with a thorough technical walkthrough.

In this presentation from Day 1 of the #SwarmOrangeSummit, Swarm’s lead developer Viktor Tron kicked the summit off with the presentation titled "Vision of Web 3.0 and the Swarm base layer infrastructure”. In this presenation some of the base layer services that Swarm, in collaboration with other companies working on the Ethereum platform, offers for real-time interactive web applications. These range from rendering, hosting, access control, consensus critical business logic etc. He also announced a POC 3 for Q3 in 2018 that will bring major stability and performance improvements to Swarm.
