Return of the Blockchain Security Empire Hacking

Summary: Trail of Bits is holding its second Empire Hacking event on December 12 at BuzzFeed's NYC offices, a half-day blockchain and smart contract security mini-conference with 10 speakers and a $2.00 entry fee for registered guests only. Talks cover Solidity's unsafe behavior, Coinbase-scale digital asset security, the Gemini dollar's design decisions, property-based testing with Manticore and Echidna, smart contract upgrade strategies, and blockchain voting including West Virginia's use of the Voatz app in its midterm election.
What's compelling: One talk states that Solidity, the most popular smart contract language, lets even experienced programmers shoot themselves in the foot, and it is the language trusted with hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency. Another notes that West Virginia used the Voatz blockchain voting app in almost half the state during the midterm election and hopes for up to 20 states by 2020.
