Hi, all. Noether brothers here, with a travel funding request. You may recall that the community sent the two of us to the [Stanford BPASE18](https://cyber.stanford.edu/bpase18) applied cryptography conference last year. This event is purely academic in nature, and is where some extremely good research and technical papers are discussed by the finest minds in this space. We learned about many fascinating results involving mining attacks, Bulletproofs optimizations, Lightning, consensus mechanisms, signature schemes, and a helluva lot more; check out the link for details if you're curious.
This year's conference, renamed [Stanford Blockchain Conference](https://cyber.stanford.edu/sbc19) 2019, promises to be equally loaded with great technical information and new advances in applied cryptography, and we wish to attend. Of all the conferences we know of, this one undoubtedly provides some of the best value to the project. It's good to have Monero represented in technical and academic circles, and in-person conferences remain one of the best ways for researchers to communicate effectively.
