If the internet we use today is the internet of information, blockchain is the internet of value that can fundamentally disrupt business, economy & society as we know it. The aim of this seminar is to understand the basic principals of blockchain, it's game changing potential & explore potential business.
About Blockchain
Blockchain, the technology behind bitcoin, is considered by many to be the next big thing. Transactions on the blockchain, through smart contracts are faster & cheaper and arguably more secure than transactions that traditionally run through central neural authorities (aka trusted 3rd parties) like banks, insurances, registries or even government institutions. Blockchain is a game changer that will allow us to distribute trust, creating the basis for a peer-to-peer/decentralized crypto economy, powered by auto enforceable smart contracts.

Prerequisites for participation and waiting lists

Falls Sie eine gültige LV-Anmeldung haben, aber an dieser Lehrveranstaltung nicht teilnehmen können, melden Sie sich bitte während des Anmeldezeitraums über LPIS wieder ab, damit Ihr LV-Platz anderen Studierenden zur Verfügung steht.

Die Platzvergabe während der Anmeldefrist verfährt im „first-come, first-served Prinzip“.

Nach Ende der Anmeldefrist werden verfügbare LV-Plätze den Studierenden der Warteliste, die noch keine gültige Anmeldung zum Planpunkt haben, gereiht nach Studienfortschritt (Härtefallprinzip) vom Vizerektorat für Lehre und Studierende zugeteilt, nicht nach Wartelistenplatz.

Studierende, die unentschuldigt nicht zur ersten Einheit erscheinen, verlieren ihren Platz in der LV. Dieser wird an Studierende der Warteliste, die zur ersten Einheit kommen, nach Wartelistenreihenfolge vergeben.
