Especially now, as people are stuck at home with only the internet to keep them connected and whole workforces start taking every aspect of their operation online, we must get privacy right. Join Electric Coin Company's Elena Sofia Giralt in this interactive exploration of privacy, how crypto can provide it and what legislation is working against it. Web Hygiene 101: The Data Trail You're Leaving Behind and How to Clean It Up Presented by Alex McDougall — Bicameral Ventures Do you know how much data you're leaving behind with just a simple Google search? And do you know who's scraping up that data and making loads of money selling it to advertisers? In this interactive workshop, attendees will have a chance to see what kind of data they're leaving behind and learn some ways to take back control. Hint: Crypto can help.  Mad Mesh: Sending Messages and Bitcoin When the World Is On Fire Presented by Richard Myers — GoTenna Most of us - locked in our own homes - are spending every waking minute connected to the internet. What if... that signal went dead? It's a frightening proposition that some people recently - think Venezuela, India, Iran - have had to deal with. No way to make sure their friends and family are OK and definitely no way to get money to them quick should they direly need it. Or is there? Join us for a demo of off-grid messaging technology goTenna and TxTenna, which allow users to send bitcoin without internet, followed by a Q&A with decentralized applications engineer Rich Myers. If you're a crypto survivalist, this session is for you!
