Proposed gathering of the Security community

I’m concerned that the need for security and correctness in smart contract engineering is being outweighed by the pressure to deliver highly complex systems to anxious ICO investors. Following conversations at EdCon in Toronto, there’s a clear need for a gathering specifically focused on smart contract security. Here is my best attempt at outlining what I think this event would look like, as well as my open questions. Goals To share knowledge to prevent and mitigate security risks facing smart…

Awesome! Can you edit the wiki above to add your attendance?

Someone was having problems yesterday. We may need a better mechanism for the RSVP list
