The Bitcoin Network

Michael Abbate and Nader Akhnoukh of NovaWulf will cover some of the motivations behind Bitcoin and decentralized networks and the problems Satoshi’s design solves.

Friday, May 20, 2022
2:00pm – 3:00pm
Zaleski Auditorium (MacLean ESC, Rm. B001)
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

This lecture will cover some of the motivations behind Bitcoin and decentralized networks and the problems Satoshi’s design solves; including incentive mechanisms with a focus on the Byzantine General’s Problem and the proof of work consensus algorithm. We will then discuss technically how to implement Bitcoin’s design and analyze how it operates. A portion of the lecture will be reserved for questions which hopefully will help shape future curriculum.
