Presented at
DEF CON 22 (2014),
Aug. 7, 2014, 5 p.m.
(60 minutes)
If the Juggalos can do it why can't we? We will discuss what it took to create DEFCOIN, the pitfalls we ran into along the way, how many times we had to reset the block chain before release (oops) and even what a block chain and other funny words like that mean. Come learn the basics of crypto-currencies, what they are, how they work and watch us attempt to show how real money and electricity is converted to fake money and heat. http://defcoin.org/ | @defcoin

Beaker is an odd creature even by DEF CON standards. If Hunter S Thompson, Tesla, and a spork had a love child this would approximate the Beaker. He’s spent his working life diddling computers for various organizations from early startups to three letter agencies and is still amazed this produces a paycheck. Beaker is known for mixing interesting chemicals within Beaker which often results in projects of unlikely completion Twitter: @swordofomen Anch is the lead for the Chickasaw Nation Industries Red Team performing penetration tests, and accreditation's for the public and private sector.
