Augur Project, a open decentralised prediction platform

The Augur Project aims to leverage the "Wisdom of the Crowd" to become the world's "Early Warning System for Everything." We are building the world's first global, open, decentralised prediction market platform where anyone, anywhere can create prediction markets and speculate on them and where the rest of us can easily monitor that speculation to get a clearer sense of where things are going -- which big events of interest, that matter most to us, are likely or 1 unlikely to happen.

The talk will be an overview of Augur, with some detail toward the end about the programming framework (which involves Python, a custom-made/Ethereum-created variant called Serpent, react.js and distributed networking).

After the talk we will go for beers and enjoy the last moments of summer in Valencia.
