Abstract
Elaborated presentation: "How the Bitcoin Protocal Actually Works"
Jan Møller gives an elaboration on his GOTO Conference talk "How the Bitcoin Protocol Actually Works".
A solution to a problem that by many scientists was believed impossible to solve was proposed in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then the Bitcoin network has grown to be the biggest distributed computer in existence.
In this talk I will explain how Bitcoin works at a technical level and discuss other possible applications of 100% decentralized networks.
Bio

In recent years Jan has been working on x86 virtualization at VMware.
With a background in computer science, cryptography, and large scale distributed systems Bitcoin was simply too interesting to let go. Jan discovered Bitcoin in early 2011 and fell down the rabbit hole. As of 2012 he has replaced virtual machines with virtual coins.
