Empire Hacking: Ethereum Edition 2

Summary: On December 12, over 150 attendees joined a half-day Empire Hacking event hosted at BuzzFeed's office to learn about pitfalls in smart contract security and how to avoid them. Speakers from Coinbase, PegaSys, Cornell Tech and The Zcash Foundation, Livepeer, Gemini Trust, Clovyr, and Trail of Bits covered digital asset security, smart contract upgradability, Ethereum client implementation, cryptocurrency privacy, micropayments, the Gemini dollar, and property-based testing.
What you should know: The talks center on problems that are specific to cryptocurrency exchanges and asset ecosystems, such as Coinbase's, and on privacy gaps in cryptocurrencies that may not be as private as assumed - areas where a single design decision in a contract or client carries the risk.
