konnichiwa my name is Boris I work for
the serum foundation what is the most
what about if I would summarize it in
three key words I would say blockchain
server impact and and but his name is
not only hackathon in Lagos Nigeria on
February 20 2014
on the centralized energy solutions it's
a conference it's an educational event
it's an actor and it's even more so who
are we and what will we present to you
today a cement from new parts consensus
and actually from Lagos will present you
a little bit more about the Nigeria
context for you to get a better
understanding on how we got there Jim
buddy Cora
Tyrion developer will tell you about the
concept of Lagos and its schedule and
Lebanon wha-wha-wha from East Africa and
blockchain and hence will tell you about
how we will manage that this events will
have
impacts on the real world so let me give
the stage to you listen about Nigeria
okay so gia if Mary would she other nice
a rich I mean I'm talking about it agree
with three husbands the first thing is
the only people do not know the measures
of recipes in Africa that cooler was
Restless current and it's also the case
in Africa are back please that's the
largest producer of crude oil and also
the largest reserves of crude oil in
Africa to Nigeria has a population of
Sumatra million people since the most
populous the latter country and the city
of Lagos has 20 million people we're
here and that affects it's one of the
largest cities in the world and you can
compare it to a queue with the next big
Mexico City and in that same Lagos there
is a huge head start of ecosystem which
is one of the largest ecosystems in
Africa we have really talented talented
developers I mean major major and school
in Nigeria Nigeria NASA and at one of
those scientists wars and regardless of
all these things there is an energy
crisis
what what the scent of people got a
makeover in areas like eggless do not
have access to energy and even if they
do we haven't even three to four hours
to pick and satisfy yourself of people
that even the rural areas Jimin has a
stretch that's all they don't even have
car and I'll give you more in taxes I
angrily materials for their when school
they're all right
and I was great not there was this term
I said earlier three hours of power then
power goes off to next
you know sometimes two days right is
what it sounds very much for some people
that always hang out every day and one
of the past ones open I was a child we
used to say this thing up never what
I've never means like the power link of
the comida generates and distributes
power is called acronym never so we
would scream off the air because
the c5 is no power and then and then
never and older children still scream of
ever so you can just imagine how all
these energy crisis has
and still there and people that have
power has to have like for me to do my
job I work for concerns for me to my job
and it was all three alternate air
source of electricity so that I can tell
you who my husband of our dream is now
imagine how hard and even imagine the
technical system how hard it is for them
to develop just view something with
those challenges
thank you yes so precisely how do we
make this happen how do we build
something there's been a lot of
experiments making the eighties the
nineties where people were trying to
bring you know very well attention
people were bringing their building
building as things that the Lobos didn't
need so they were very quickly ripped
apart turning to something else so
clearly the the solution is about making
those people who have the problem tell
us what they and we believe that
blockchain get anymore that's I mean
this is this is what the technology will
build me we want it to be useful and
hopefully Nigeria can provide this this
is fertile ground for ideas so we're
going to gather those people and provide
a hackathon but one of the problems that
happen in hackathon is even though those
you have a lot of talented people like
Nigeria certainly has a lot of that they
don't necessarily understand blockchain
they don't understand energy but you
have the program before this one so we
need to make sure that they have the
right background so we're going to bring
like experts professionals we're going
to have a support of the conference of
the greater conference we're going to
have the problems with the Prime
Minister the Minister of Energy there is
going to be a keynote we're going to
have the German development agency that
is going to bring experts to train those
those developers on on energy solutions
and of course
we're going to bring like community of
Eastern community we're going to bring
rachac knowledge so this is the program
of the of the event we're going to start
like I said with the whistle training
we're going to make sure that those that
Walkerton are not thrown in the cold
water and then the the hackathon starts
and the code for three days and at the
end of it we finally we finally select
the winners oh yeah
one thing so we bring a lot of partners
of course and I forgot to say the GIC
the German Development Agency has a talk
at DEFCON so go go attend them they're
available people and and yes that's
actually not the end of the story
because after the after the the
hackathon is done we don't stop there
hi everyone thanks for coming to our
session so yeah we want to make sure
that the projects that the winning teams
because it's not a big problem that is
it has described you want to make sure
that the winning teams continue to
evolve into sustainable projects that
they continue to solve that problem so
we will be working with them to make
sure that to help them partners like the
GIC
there's a department of decentralization
I believe in Berlin there are a whole
lot of pilots that are very interested
in this so that the program of the
project are the winning teams actually
gets into being a sustainable project
also helped me to plant those winning
teams or we project into other funding
sources you know within the ecosystem
like the efk decline even the UNICEF had
a lot of other groups so not just win a
hackathon and then we move on and go on
to the next but no they are going to
sustain more projects and just as a
background also before that there's been
a lot of community development efforts
in Africa a lot of btob's material we're
running several develop
perhaps especially consensus are having
me to keep training developers so a lot
is going on in the ecosystem so we're
just going to build on that and also
continue with them into sustainable
projects so one of the examples of what
we hope to come out of it Lagos an
example is a project concrete on
blockchain it's totally unrelated but
same with me when you see the connection
so it's a team gathering around the
theorem like I said there's a lot of
team and community development effort
that has been done already in Africa so
this seems just for organic candy from
different hackathons and meetups what
they're trying to do is to use
incentives to solve the public health
adherence problem it's about a one
trillion dollar problem so it's to
incentivize practitioners health
practitioners doctors nurses health
workers and patients but healthy
behaviors when these three groups I
incentivized you know it's to give that
the Health System will be more efficient
so we want projects or we need teams
from equally goes to be like this that
form organic candy and this is a shining
example and they'll also be active
because so we invite you to come and see
them there one last thing is because has
been working with the whole groups if
your foundation
has been very kind to say hair to have
drive this initiative of the German
government Development Agency GIC they
have a smaller mini roots project in
Nigeria so attendees are participants
who have what we call a return on what's
the chorus again eternal experience so
being at the forefront of innovation
where we will actually plot this we need
teams and participants to and it's this
enlarged skill intimate issue let's try
to solve a real problem
so GIC has a solar great project in
rural areas that added a lot of value
and we can only imagine what this skill
is if we have the blockchain element and
the innovation that they are people come
up with and of course the ABA also
working so I think I'll hand over to
Maurice to wrap it up
here we have a little slide about the
team members of this Empire is in fact
as a legal entity we are currently
setting up it's a German nonprofits and
it helps us to empower our East a us but
also to help to incubate the winning
projects and afterwards we are ready to
organize more similar projects
development world so he's in violence
but his legacy is the kind of impact so
we are reaching out to all of you
developers energy engineers
entrepreneurs sponsors everyone who is
interested and we would love you to
reach out to us so how could you
participate it's very simple we actually
launched our website yesterday each day
goes that I hope you'll find all
relevant info there and here is a to
dark arts on the website you'll find a
riot chat where you can ask questions
and applications for assistance will
open soon on the website too so don't
hesitate to catch us if you are seeing
us around as will be here during the
whole week and that's it thank you very
much
we have like five minutes for Russians
so do have some questions
pay attention yeah also you might go
into the daily more practical examples
of how the population major major are
actually using maybe like a scoyne
or the other alternative currency in the
nation a life's like nice Pacific wait
is this is something like Sharia
responses of the last three years it's
called a church and really huge gift
pirates actually people in Nigeria Devon
and really have two penguins it's just a
volume people and those customers who
actually sharing these nice right now
when they got suit you know I guess
there's kind of an educational capital
they are very very like adopted Bitcoin
in massive way okay speaking in German
you speak letter which is you know
that's it okay yeah so there is a lot of
interest but there's a lot of crypto
speculation right in Nigeria speculate
another crypto and the price that is
what they do only and in my opinion I
mean I speak for myself I think that is
classic it's not what the emphasis that
means to speculate on the price we need
to move into an era where people
actually understand technology at the
power that it has not what we can build
on it so we've done a lot of work we've
done three or four I don't know peer
leaders in Lagos two or three hackathons
so there is that awareness that okay
this thing is more than just something I
can buy at $5,000
$10,000 with dads wall that you said
there a lot of scouts too so people
equate Bitcoin new pyramid schemes cuz a
lot of people say oh yeah you know
you're putting this amount of money you
get cash I like this amount and all
sorts of products and services that they
have so when I said so those other
things that we are working very hard to
change even within the Alliance we are
running a Developer Program we always do
not change with executives with also all
sorts of people who endorse sessions
we're also engaging and funny love
deepen regulators also associates in
Bitcoin and crypto and blockchain as a
scam you know so I don't question
there's a lot of work we've done but
there are a few tasks in terms of
education and changing people's by that
this is not an investment it's not
something you buy and you start at a
certain price it is a lot of pyramid
scheme it is not all of these things
you're thinking about
it's a powerful technology that you can
use to do a lot of things and hopefully
this what comes out of this will show
people that this is not just Krypton
there's so much more and it can actually
use to solve routines and that's what
I'm moving this review
the other questions
okay you take maybe two of the questions
and then we can wrap it up
Thanks yeah you're picking up many of
the somewhat same question I guess but
it's like the in terms of the the
pavement or earth form of currency where
you got a petition with Ireland with a
Chinese painting missionary isn't
already a step ahead we're good I kind
of figure opportunity to to get to
people the part of the speculation
aspect of course but still I mean in
terms of the internal currency stability
is not never
how does that like register people so
it's very difficult to move the night
especially for remittance and stuff like
that so there is an opportunity there
the other thing we're talking about is
to have a broader
blotching week conversation so will the
involve directly there's there and have
that conversation but yes that is a big
problem that the currency is very
visionary you can't move it around and
it's a general problem in Africa so
that's why we need everybody to sort of
have those broader conversations also
but you have the opportunities there the
last question I think we have one too
any more questions
just a question about sponsorships can
you speak xx as much as we were bored
already and what kind of brackets really
so for now it's still fundraising but we
have some partners like John Development
Agency called Jersey
they are involving partners from the
energetic cetera the drummer energetic
support because they are very interested
in having this regional experience
because you can try out things in
Nigeria that you cannot try out in
Europe it's difficult to set your energy
through your neighbor Europe but you can
do that in Nigeria and will be able to
try out the developed solutions on these
vinaigrettes in Nigeria and this is very
interesting for them so we have some of
them we have also people from our
ecosystem were showing a lot of interest
like get coin and others yeah we are
reaching out to a lot of people so we
are from the sponsors we are
international organizations we have our
blockchain ecosystem and we have the
energetics x1 so it's kind of a Wyatt
range that's it all right
[Applause]
