[NBLUG/talk] General meeting 2011-08-09: Bitcoin and Namecoin

[Allan Cecil]

Thanks for the feedback!  I haven't heard back from anyone else and I'll be preparing the slides this weekend so please speak up if there's a specific emphasis you want to hear more about.  Note that the Security considerations will also touch on anonymity.

See you on Tuesday,

A.C.

I'll also show a live demo in Linux of bitcoind, pooled mining, and Namecoin (a distributed DNS). If you are completely unfamiliar with Bitcoin there's a short overview video at http://www.weusecoins.com - if you *are* familiar with Bitcoin, please feel free to speak up during a Q&A at the end!
