That's right, I just found I got accepted to speak at DEFCON 19 about bitcoin.

I'm open for input, giving a 20 minute talk.

All the blackhats already know the basics, and that cypherpunk just became cool again.

You want to wow them with the immediate and future implications of private, secure, e-cash.

We're right in the middle of one, which is the acute need to upgrade web security.

Bitcoin's anonymous and non-reversible nature have led to cross-site forged request attacks, wallet.dat stealing trojans, and a number of more traditional scams.

The entire interweb ecosystem is being upgraded or rewritten to deal with our new post-bitcoin (virtual) reality.

Isn't it funny how bitcoin exploded, right as the first quantum computer shipped and the world's fiat currencies are collapsing? What a coincidence.

Reminds me of how closely spaced the discoveries of the atomic bomb and LSD were.
