About This Event
IOTA Meetup NYC & General Assembly New York are bringing Beyond Blockchain to GA's New York HQ.
This month, IOTA Meetup NYC's very own Kevin Chen & Dan Simerman will walk through the upcoming Qubic platform, IXI Hub as it relates to real world adoption in the world of blockchain. Our discussion will revolve around how to take advantage of these upcoming releases, as well as the implications of these tools on the blockchain industry & the economy at large.
This will be equal parts presentation & open forum - so come with your questions & lets discuss the future of distributed ledger tech together!
ABOUT IOTA's QUBIC:
Qubic began life as as an initialism-turned-acronym, QBC, which stands for quorum-based computation. Specifically, Qubic is a protocol that specifies IOTA's solution for quorum-based computations, including such constructs as oracle machines, outsourced computations, & smart contracts. Qubic provides general-purpose, cloud- or fog-based, permissionless, multiprocessing capabilities on the Tangle. In the long term, Qubic will allow people to leverage world-wide unused computing capacity for a myriad of computational needs, all while helping to secure the IOTA Tangle: an IOTA-based world supercomputer.
Kevin Chen
Founder & Head of IEN,
IOTA Evangelist Network (IEN)
Kevin R. Chen is currently the Founder & Head of the IOTA Evangelist Network (IEN), a global grassroots group of IOTA enthusiasts & professionals looking to spread IOTA awareness & adoption in their respective countries. He was previously the Evangelist at the IOTA Foundation, with the focus on business development & adoption strategy. Prior to IOTA, Kevin spend 3+ years on Wall Street as a technologist: first at Citigroup Global Markets as an application developer, then at a $3+ billion credit hedge fund Aristeia Capital as a data analyst. He was passively interested in Bitcoin since 2012-2013 but was fully drawn into the blockchain/cryptocurrency space in early-mid 2016 with the rise of Ethereum. Finally, Kevin became involved with IOTA as its blockless Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) bypasses the scalability issues that have been plaguing blockchains, plus it is also feeless. Therefore, IOTA's Tangle protocol is highly applicable to IoT/M2M micro-transactions & can catalyze the upcoming 4th Industrial Revolution. Kevin graduated from the University of Virginia with a Computer Science degree.
