Why
Imagine that you're a supervillain and you want to fund your dastardly plans. You know what might come in handy? Decentralized, censorship-resistant, anonymous payments technology.
As members of the nascent blockchain industry, we plan to keep building that technology anyway, but we want to minimize the opportunities for supervillains. (Or even regular villains.)
The organizers of Blockchain Against Evil believe that an open, permissionless financial system will have tremendous benefits for civil society. At the same time, it will enable bad actors to wreak havoc in new ways. Even if the harm doesn't outweigh the good, limiting harm is still a worthwhile goal.
What
Blockchain Against Evil is an opportunity to come together and brainstorm: What might bad actors come up with? How can the rest of us can design around their ill intentions without limiting everyone's freedom?
The planned format is for moderators to lead informal group discussions, divided by specific sub-topics. For example, one session could discuss potential abuses of the data available on the $BTC blockchain, while another could discuss how to disincentivize funding terrorism. We're still working out the details — please let us know if you're interested in leading a session!
The conversations at Blockchain Against Evil will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
