BLISS Presentation: Protect Ya Stack with Emergent Reasons

The Bitcoin Cash Podcast

Emergent Reasons (The General, John Nieri) talks about programming smart contracts safely.

He believes that people that are making apps or smart contracts need to prioritize safety when dealing with other people's money. The goal is contracts that CAN’T fail. John says that he is not telling others the RIGHT way to do things, just a good way to do things. He hopes others will do better.
