As you might know, Andreas is an author of Mastering Ethereum, which is written for developers and is his second book published by O’Reilly media. But don’t fret, there won’t be dry powerpoint explanations here. Andreas is brilliant at explaining complex topics in an entertaining and easy to understand way. So if you’ve got questions about Ethereum, ETH, gas, proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, or smart contracts in general, this video will get you up to speed. During the livestream, you can chat with community builders and together we’ll watch Andreas answer as many questions as he can in 30-40 minutes. You can even ask questions on sli.do and maybe your question will be one Andreas answers! No questions are too basic or simple. You can even ask questions anonymously, in case you’re embarrassed for not knowing something already. After the livestream, you can view the chat as if you were there with us.
