Checkpointing Presentation (Join with Crowdcast link)

IOHK (IOG) has released ECIP-1097 #347 which covers their proposed "Checkpointing" system which aims to prevent 51% attacks on ETC. They'll explain the proposal and conduct a presentation, followed by a community Q&A.

The goal of this call is simply to get contributors, community members, stakeholders and especially other teams who have created similar proposals (They implore other proposal authors @max-sanchez, @VeriBlock @Dexaran, @rsksmart, @rootstock to show up to ask as many questions as needed) to properly understand this proposal. More details to come.

• When: Friday, Sept. 4, 2020; 2PM UTC, 7AM PST, 11AM EST - 30 minute presentation followed by Q&A

• Where: Crowdcast (Link: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/9epmnuoc)

Q&A

Questions will be submitted directly in the Crowdcast meeting (Link will be posted when date/time is confirmed)

I would ask @creepas to join the presentation to represent ECIP 1092. I'm unable to do so at the assigned time.

[creepas]

This is an IOHK presentation. 1092 would need to schedule its own presentation
