WHEN: Sunday, April 1st, 2018 (note special meeting date!) 7 - 8:30pm MAIN PRESENTATION TOPIC: Bytecoin - Linux inside a cryptocoin. PRESENTED BY: Arthur J. Williams Jr., CTO, Bytecoin Enterprises TOPIC SUMMARY: Have you been frustrated that you can’t have cryptocurrencies in your front pocket? Fret no more, because Bytecoins were designed to overcome the deficiencies of Bitcoin, such as their not being physical. Bytecoins are physical coins that you can flip (randomness of heads or tails is even programmable), and you can use then in vending machines (coming soon). Bytecoins' value are determined by being pegged to the price of Bitcoins - a Bytecoin is fixed at being 11 Bitcoins. Investors realize that 11 is better than 8, or even 10. The security of Bytecoins is enforced in the new, second-generation, cryptographic signing scheme called the “LintString”. People didn’t want the weight of a chain, or the cumbersomeness of blocks, in their pockets, so they are using lint and lightweight string instead. Many folks, especially young boys, often have lint and string in their pockets anyway. Bytecoins are fabricated with two embedded processors. One an ARM processor that runs Linux and a second, new, Light Execution Generation processor for the cryptography. The Chief Architect of Bytecoin specified that the greatest costs in the Bill of Materials for Bytecoin are an ARM and a LEG. Bytecoins are durable and encased in Ytterbium. Why it'll be using Ytterbium will be discussed. Its noted that the Ytterbium is Free-Trade, Conflict-Free, involves no child labor, and is minted at a special mine near Abuja, the home of the CTO, Arthur J. Williams, Jr, our speaker. Bytecoins are revolutionary in that they are self-minting! The action of walking around with a Bytecoin in your pocket produces the power required for the Bytecoin to cryptographically mint more Bytecoins! Developers have also tested holding a Bytecoin in your hand and waving it around madly. This does generate Bytecoins at a faster rate. Testing is being done with volunteers in San Francisco where they are directed to flail their arm around wildly. "Those too frail to flail will fail", they are told. To support the secure communication required of the Bytecoins, a new communication scheme was also developed, in conjunction with the NSA, around the coin and its Byte Media Entropy. The resulting communication mechanism is currently being used throughout the US Federal government, even in the White House, for the most sensitive conversations. For example, when President Trump was recently asked to talk with Bob Mueller, he was reported to have said "Tell Mueller he can Byte ME". The President is also reported to be using the flipping of Bytecoins for important decisions. ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Arthur J. Williams Jr. is the CTO of Bytecoin Enterprises. Before founding Bytecoin, Arthur worked in the Federal prison system with the great Dr. Lirpa Loof, and got his start in currencies at the age of 16 in Chicago.
