昨年2017年に、過去のScaling Bitcoin参加者やスポンサーから、「Bitcoinの技術を持つ人間が足りていない」という問題が寄せられていました。Bitcoinエコシステムに参加し、活動してくれる技術者を募集することは、難しいのが現状です。
We launched a new initiative called "Bitcoin Edge" to address this talent deficit. This initiative ran for the first time in Silicon Valley as the Tutorial Track called "Dev++" alongside of the Scaling Bitcoin 2017 "Scaling the Edge". The second installment of Dev++ ran in 2018 at Keio University alongside of the Scaling Bitcoin 2018 "Kaizen". The third installment is taking place at the Tel Aviv University September 2019 alongside of the Scaling Bitcoin 2019 "Yesod".
Bitcoin Edge Dev++ Tutorial is meant to focus on scaling the development capacity of the ecosystem via education of developers in the field of cryptocurrency and helping the industry streamline the process of developer training. The primary focus of this tutorial is the basic first-principles introduction to cryptocurrency and cryptography as well as cryptocurrency-specific engineering methodologies, security practices, and standard operating procedures.
