December has been a hugely exciting and busy time for Saito. Not only has this month seen huge progress from the core development team on our forthcoming <\/span>Eames Testnet<\/b>, which will run on our first software release theoretically capable of supporting terabyte-level scale, but we\u2019ve also been much more active at events on both sides of the Pacific \u2014\u00a0ranging from presentations at universities to dev workshops and hackathons.<\/span>
\nThe month began with an invitation from the <\/span>Tsinghua International Blockchain Association<\/b><\/a> to present at their December 5 meeting. It was a privilege and a pleasure to be able to share what we are up to with such an engaged crowd, and we\u2019re happy to note that it was standing room only for those hoping to catch Saito\u2019s co-founder David Lancashire<\/a>, and his presentation on blockchain economics, and our project’s unique fundamentals.<\/span>
\nThanks must also go to our guest panellists who joined us that evening: Jack Liao from Bitcoin Gold and LIGHTNINGASIC<\/a>; John Gordon from INBlockchain<\/a>; plus Richard Bensberg from epiapi<\/a> and the Beijing Bitcoin Meetup<\/a>. This diverse triumvirate delivered a lively discussion on the Hash War, forks, and crypto markets \u2014\u00a0the audio of which we are planning to release as a future episode of our podcast series <\/span>\u2018The Saito Social\u2019<\/b>.<\/span>
\nThe week after our Tsinghua University event it was a quick hop across the Pacific for Team Saito to run a dev workshop in San Francisco, followed by a <\/span>hackathon in partnership with Binance and DoraHacks<\/b>. Our core dev Stephen Peterkins<\/a> had a great time meeting a new community of developers for us in the Bay Area, and conducting one of our first public tutorials dedicated to building on Saito.<\/span>
\nThanks to all those who turned out \u2014 both those who came to our workshop, and to those who took on the Saito challenges at the hackathon<\/a> itself. It was fun for us to meet so many new people interested in the project, but also extremely useful in terms of getting fresh feedback on how best to onboard people with Saito. We plan on using what we learnt from our time in San Francisco to run <\/span>another dev workshop in Beijing<\/b> some time in early 2019. Look out for further announcements on that as we enter the new year.<\/span>
\nStephen has now flown to Canada for the winter (feel free to email us<\/a> if you are in or around Ottawa and interested in discussing blockchain and\/or Saito), and Christmas<\/a> is soon upon us. But there is still time for one more Saito event. Our co-founder Richard Parris<\/a> will be speaking on a <\/span>TechNode<\/a> panel in Beijing<\/b> tonight. The event<\/a> kicks off at 6.30pm (local time) and sees Richard join Sarah Zhang from Points<\/a>, and Rohan Malhotra from TokenInsight<\/a>, to take a look at what lies in store for blockchain in 2019.<\/span>
\nPlease do join us if you\u2019re in Beijing. If not then tune in to the livestream here<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
