Creating an NFT auction on Hedera Hashgraph

Non-fungible tokens are all the rage. A community member suggested we auction off one of Leemon's physical hbar tokens as an NFT. Leemon obliged. And Greg went to work. This month's talk will share how we designed the upcoming auction, which will operate as a public permissioned application network run by Hedera and a set of community members that uses Hedera Consensus Service for public trust. In April's installment of our virtual meetup we'll review:

* Minting an NFT with Hedera Token Service
* Establishing a transparent auction with Hedera Consensus Service
* Managing hbar bids with a Chrome Browser wallet extension
* Transferring token and refunding bids with multi-signature accounts and scheduled transactions

Speakers:

Greg Scullard - Since owning his first computer in 1981, Greg has never stopped developing software. His grandmother was very proud when his name appeared on the front cover of a computer magazine at just age 12.

Prior to joining Hedera Hashgraph as a Lead Developer Advocate, Greg spent nearly three decades working for small, medium and large software development businesses in many different roles. He was on a path to an executive career until developing two mobile apps in his own time made him realize that it was software development and working with software developers that motivated him to do great things. Hedera came along just at the right time.

His previous experience includes growing the community for some of the world’s most popular open source distributed systems, Kafka and Cassandra, and growth marketing at Cloudflare.
