Blockchain, Cryptocurrency. bitcoin, Ethereum. Buzzwords? Trendy topics? Sure. As a developer, I’m not very interested in the hype or the crazy speculation. But I want to understand the underlying technology. How bitcoin works. What makes Ethereum useful. The concepts and algorithms used by bitcoin, Ethereum, and the thousands other coins that were created in the last years. I read the bitcoin whitepaper. I found it very interesting. To share my new knowledge, I’d like to create a bitcoin in PHP… with you. One hour should be more than enough. Along the way, you will hopefully better understand what makes bitcoin revolutionary.

The road to mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies is a long one. Although the user experience of wallets has greatly improved since the dark days of command-line only interfaces, decentralized applications continue to struggle with onboarding non-technical users.
Jarred Hope and Carl Bennetts, join us to discuss Status, a mobile Ethereum client which aims to turn the standard wallet experience on its head. At its core, Status is a mobile instant messenger client that leverages the Whisper protocol for secure peer-to-peer communication. Through its familiar messaging interface and elegant design, users can chat and send Ether directly in the app. As the first implementation of Ethereum’s Light Client Protocol, users may also use decentralized applications such as uPort, Gnosis and Aragon on their mobile phones. Built as an open source project, Status’ developer platform also allows developers to easily port their Dapps to the app.
Topics discussed in this episode:
Jarred and Carl’s background and journey to the Ethereum space
Status’ vision for a friendly, mobile Dapp client
Status’ technical architecture
How Status leverages Ethereum’s Light Client and Whisper protocols
The Status user experience and feature set
Jarred and Carl’s views on privacy and how Status fulfils their goal of privacy by default
The long term vision for a Status Network
The project’s roadmap and business model
