Tomorrow around 9am CST Jed McCaleb speaks at the University of Arkansas Hackathon, free to attend https://blockchain.uark.edu/hackathon/ .
Jed McCaleb is co-founder and Chief Architect of the Stellar Development Foundation, an open network that connects the world’s financial infrastructure. In 2014, Jed created Stellar, an open-source blockchain network built to democratize economic participation by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered.
An early pioneer in decentralized systems and blockchain technology, he created eDonkey2000 which became one of the largest file-sharing networks in its time. He later created Mt. Gox, the first bitcoin exchange, which was subsequently sold and re-coded by its current owners. He is also a co-founder of Ripple.
Jed’s devoted his career to developing and leveraging technology that promotes inclusion and transparency.
There are also many other speakers for this event and a month long blockchain development competition.
