Hard Promises, Soft Promises: Promoting Autonomy instead of Authority [TIOM2-06]
This talk took place on September 20th 2016 at the @SFBTCMeetup in San Francisco, California: https://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Bitcoin-Social/events/228473660/?eventId=228473660
Are bitcoin payments irreversible? Many have criticized this as a "problem" for consumers. Some have gone as far as to design blockchains that are editable and give authority to a group to reverse transactions. In this talk, Andreas dissects the concept of irreversible agreements, hard promises and soft promises and the ties they have to systems of authority and autonomy.
