SYNTH VS MCAFEE GET READY TO RUMBLE AT MALTA BLOCKCHAIN SUMMIT

The Malta blockchain summit has been described as the top biggest blockchain and DLT event for the year 2018 and it is holding on the 1st and 2nd of November 2018 at InterContinental in St Julian’s, Malta.

Malta has become a leading innovator in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry providing a reputable, supportive and trustworthy environment for digital entrepreneurs.

The island-state of Malta is tiny (a tenth the size of Rhode Island to be exact). Despite its stature, it has become a haven for many cryptocurrency marketplaces, and it is where most of the world’s legal crypto trading takes place.

Being the first jurisdiction to clearly delineate blockchain regulations, Malta has earned the title of ‘Blockchain Island’. The sunny country is frequently cited in major publications for its ‘avant-garde’ and ‘can do’ attitude, which has no doubt aided the transition as one of the friendliest crypto country in the universe.
Malta is proving that the size of a country does not matter in cryptocurrencies and just like some big coins will fail at the end of the day, a lot of big countries will be left behind when this digital technology gets worldwide adoption.

This has culminated in two of the largest crypto exchanges, Binance and OKEx, are both relocating to the island.
To show how supportive and friendly to crypto investment, The Maltese Prime Minister welcomed Binance with a tweet, including an invitation for other crypto-based businesses to join the exchange in its move.

Binance announced the move in March in response to China’s borderline hostile regulatory environment to blockchain and cryptocurrency as a way of creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt while they develop and accumulate these benefits of these technologies while waiting for the right time to legitimize them.

The summit includes four conferences, a buzzing expo floor, a two-day Hackathon, a Blockchain Awards ceremony, an ICO Pitch and ends with a suave Crypto Cruise. Dr. Stornetta is one of the most keenly anticipated speakers.
Malta, with its new regulatory framework, is leading the pack. The Malta Blockchain Summit is a reflection of this momentum.
The summit is expecting a buzzing expo and riveting discussions about the world-changing potential applications of the Blockchain as well as AI, Big Data, Quantum Technology, and IoT.
Below is a list of sponsors for this power packed event.

The Malta Blockchain Summit is a melting pot of global influencers in technology, civil society, democracy promotion, and innovation. Expect riveting discussion about the world-changing potential applications of the Blockchain across multiple verticals, including, but not limited to Health, Entertainment, Government, Banking, Payments and Fintech, and more .

Malta is one of the most beneficial jurisdictions to set up and run your blockchain business - not only because it created the first legal framework regulating the industry, but also because it offers an extremely competitive tax regime for companies with one of the lowest corporate tax rates within the European Union.

The Summit anticipates 5,000 delegates, 100 speakers and 300 sponsors and exhibitors, the Malta Blockchain Summit promises to be an innovative and momentous opportunity for global influencers to network, forge new connections and debate the potential applications of blockchain across myriad industries such as health, entertainment, government, and banking.

Speakers include Hon. Joseph Muscat the prime minister of Malta, W. Scott Stornetta Ph.D., and Chief Scientist - Yūgen Partners .It is common knowledge that an as yet anonymous person or group of people called Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin. However, experts in the field are aware that Dr. Scott Stornetta and Dr. Stuart Haber first conceptualized blockchain in 1991, publishing a series of peer-reviewed journal articles and filing a number of patents through the 1990s. Bitcoin was eventually built upon these foundations with Dr. Stornetta and Haber referenced three times in Satoshi’s original Bitcoin whitepaper.
Dr. Stornetta has remained in the background during most of the cryptocurrency hype, but has now stepped forward and assumed a prominent role as Chief Scientist for the Australian investment firm First Digital Capital, where he will be in charge of evaluating blockchain technology firms and ICOs.
Other speakers include Eva Kaili, Member of the European Parliament,
TechCrunch-Editor Mike Butcher, Sunny Dhillon at Signia Ventures, LATTICE80-Founder Joe Seunghyun Cho, along with Yida Gao, Felix Petersen, HartejSawhney, DamirBandalo, Li Jiang, Miko Matsumura, Loretta Joseph, Tim Rehder, Marc P. Bernegger, Max Krupyshev, Prashant Fonseka, Gordon Einstein, Alex Lightman, Sebastian Markowsky, Joseph Cuschieri, Philippe Chevry, Jon Matonis, Steve Tendon, and Ian Gauci, to name a few.

Special speakers include Synth co-founder of the Skycoin project a third generation cryptocurrency.

The Skycoin Platform is the most advanced blockchain platform in the world. Developed by early contributors to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, Skycoin’s platform is completely secure, infinitely scalable, and ISP independent. Backed by bandwidth, storage, and computational power Skycoin is built to fulfill Satoshi’s original vision.

Skycoin (is the fuel of the entire ecosystem. It supports 300 TPS, free transactions with less than 2 seconds transaction time, is resistant to 51% attacks, is sustainably maintained without energy-intensive mining, has default private transaction with the CoinJoin protocol, and pays a form of dividends in a different currency known as Coin Hours (think NEO/GAS or VET/THOR). This is all possible due to its innovative consensus algorithm called Obelisk.

The other guest Speaker will be John McAfee. John McAfee needs little introduction.

John McAfee, a computer programmer, and businessman founded the world's most popular anti-virus software and is regarded as a celebrity in DLT circles.
DLT Blockchain technology is based on the distributed ledger that operates on a principle of using nodes. This circle of independent computers record, process, synchronize and share all digital transactions in their own electronic ledgers. Such an approach allows excluding centralized data storage as it is in a traditional ledger. DLT Blockchain protocol distributes the information into encrypted blocks. Those blocks organize together an append-only chain.

The cybersecurity magnate has been a loyal advocate for blockchain technology for many years and remains a constant presence in this space. Over the last 7 days, McAfee has been busy appearing in 2 live-streamed discussions already with LearnCrypto and Adam Guerbuez from BitcoinStacks.com. For the most part, McAfee has recently been tied up defending the unhackable Bitfi wallet and silencing the many false claims that the device has been breached.

For now, at least, McAfee confirms that the $250,000 bounty for hacking this wallet remains untouched and still for the taking. Among other projects, McAfee has also been promoting his latest ‘Cloak Phone’ project, which aims to deliver the world’s first privacy-focused smartphone to the market.

Both Synth and McAfee will be speaking about the “Dark Part of the chain “ and later there will be a 2 hours debate between the 2 of them.

This event is scheduled for the 2nd of November which is the last day of the summit.
This is the most anticipated presentation and debate of this summit.
The discussion will undoubtedly draw a big crowd of viewers as some of the industry’s biggest players come together to debate one of the most well-debated topics in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.
“We are extremely excited to have with us the legendary Synth and John McAfee on the Blockchain Island this November,” said Eman Pulis, Founder, and CEO of the Malta Blockchain Summit.
“As two of the most prominent characters in the crypto space, we are certain that McAfee will provide a monumental contribution to the gravity of the show and the overall excitement around the summit.

There is expected to real fireworks and the superb display of their knowledge and expertise in the blockchain and technology. Expect eye-popping sound bites in this exciting presentation .

The overarching issue is that, given the immutable nature of blockchain, unlawful data can be stored on a blockchain permanently and since blockchain data is stored by node operators, those blockchain users become liable for any improper data added to the blockchain whether aware of that content or not. Indeed, it could create an untenable situation where it is illegal to even participate in a subject blockchain once unlawful content has become embedded within it so that node operators are faced with the choice of being subject to liability or forced to delete the unlawful content from the blockchain which in turn threatens the blockchain’s reliability as it is no longer immutable.

Synth and McAfee will be giving their voices to this topic and Synth will also use the opportunity to discuss the progress of the Skywire, progress of Skywire antennae, the launch of coinhour bank and buyback , Skycoin laptops for Skywire and also the launch of mainnet.
The Skycoin team will also include Daken Freeborn, Crael, Drew MacGibbon, Ed and a host of others are including Joe Blackburn an advisor with Skycoin and the CEO and Co-Founder of Crypto Coin Trader.

The Malta summit will be a perfect opportunity for Skycoin to connect with many other projects that will be on parade and a lot of partnership will be struck and solidified during the summit
As a side attraction, there is a 50,000 euros Hackathon competition.

More than 250 registered teams, and individual developers to the Blockchain Island event. The winning team will be decided by a panel of judges based on the originality and feasibility of their dApp initiative. Both decentralized and distributed solutions will be accepted.

Ticket sales are moving at an unprecedented rate, and the event is almost sold out
