Call for Proposals for Scaling Bitcoin Hong Kong

The second Scaling Bitcoin Workshop will take place December 6th-7th at the Cyberport in Hong Kong. We are accepting technical proposals for improving Bitcoin performance including designs, experimental results, and comparisons against other proposals. The goals are twofold: 1) to present potential solutions to scalability challenges while identifying key areas for further research and 2) provide a venue where researchers, developers, and miners can communicate about Bitcoin development.

We are accepting two types of proposals: one in which accepted authors will have an opportunity to give a 20-30 minute presentation at the workshop, and another where accepted authors can run an hour-long interactive workshop.

Topics of interest include:

Improving Bitcoin throughput Layer 2 ideas (i.e. payment channels, etc.) Security and privacy Incentives and fee structures Testing, simulation, and modeling Network resilience Anti-spam measures Block size proposals Mining concerns Community coordination

All as related to the scalability of Bitcoin.

Important Dates

November 9th - Last day for submission November 16th - Last day for notification of acceptance and feedback

Formatting

We are doing rolling acceptance, so submit your proposal as soon as you can. Proposals may be submitted as a BIP or as a 1-2 page extended abstract describing ideas, designs, and expected experimental results. Indicate in the proposal whether you are interested in speaking, running an interactive workshop, or both. If you are interested in running an interactive workshop, please include an agenda.

Proposals should be submitted to proposals@scalingbitcoin•org by November 9th.

All talks will be livestreamed and published online, including slide decks.

Dear All,

Just a note that we've extended the last day for submissions by two days.

i.e. Proposals should be submitted to proposals@scalingbitcoin•org by November 11th 23:59 UTC

Cheers,
