Conclusion
Dedication:
Before I start discussing about my journey, I have a few people that I want to dedicate this blog post.
Many of you may already know this, but as of March 15, 2017 NetSecFocus decided to migrate our community to our own Mattermost server. There were a few reasons for this with the main reasons being message retention in Slack. At our volume messages were only lasting for a maximum of 10 hours which made it impossible to search for anything meaningful. Due to this and the impossibility of paying about $12k USD/month for Slack we decided to ditch it for something better.
Well I finally got my finger out and put together the first in a series of talks on crypto. Thank you for those that joined live and for the subsequent feedback.
