Tomorrow, Monday, at 18:00 at NTUA I am presenting my dissertation. The talk will be 40 min and very technical, so you can come by if youre interested. However, due to limited space we have to keep the audience somewhat limited at this time: as it will be somewhat specialized, I recommend that you only come if youre interested in blockchain/trust research. Ill be happy to see you :) For a more extensive and less technical presentation, I will be giving more talks on OpenBazaar and trust this year and at the beginning of next year to a broader audience in several locations, so stay tuned! :) Title: A pseudonymous trust system for a decentralized anonymous marketplace Abstract: We present the theoretical and practical considerations when developing the trust system for OpenBazaar, a decentralized anonymous marketplace. OpenBazaar is production-grade open source software that enables censorship-resistant anonymous freedom of trade without single points of failure. The trust system for OpenBazaar involves two pillars: A web-of-trust for projected trust, and a global trust system called reputation pledges based on proof-of-burn. Trades happen using the bitcoin cryptocurrency and we use Ricardian contracts and 2-of-2 and 2-of-3 multisig on the blockchain to secure transactions. Finally, namecoin is used for decentralized secure friendly-name reservation. In this work, we present all these topics and how they combine together to form a trust system for secure decentralized financial trades.
