This is a repost of this forum post on the bitcoin unlimited forum.
Hello.
My name is Jørgen Svennevik Notland.
With this forum post, I’m hereby requesting Bitcoin Unlimited membership.
My motivation for joining is voting rights and getting more involved with and invested in the Bitcoin Unlimited organisation. A fascinating online community with a solid mission (articles of the federation), and a strong and dedicated team that I currently have the pleasure of working closely with.
I have a bachelor in informatics and an MSc in Management/Entrepreneurship. I started my academic journey with exploring blockchain-enabled trust and transparency in supply chains. The MSc is in how legal contracts can be supplemented with smart contracts. The master thesis comprises an online smart contract and an offline traditional legal contract. Where the two are immutably linked. Later it was rewritten into a short version and my brother Jakob wrote an implementation in Ethereum. The short version will be presented at an international academic conference in Trondheim, Norway.
Interest in management and organisational theory concerning blockchain is another motivation for seeking to join Bitcoin Unlimited, as its voting system and organisational work aligns perfectly with my interest and is a project I believe I can learn a lot from, but also contribute a lot too.
Besides academic work, I am currently working on Bitcoin Unlimited Improvement Proposal 129 (BUIP129). The product we are building is called VotePeer, and I am closely involved with Andrew Stone and Dagur to implement this. My main responsibility in this project is to build an Android library that any Android app can import to support voting in their app. I am also responsible for writing a scientific paper describing how VotePeer works and its rationale. Try out the VotePeer app and read more about the libraries we are developing here: https://voter.cash
In the future, I can contribute to developing and conducting future BUIPs on developing and maintaining the Bitcoin Unlimited on-chain voting system.
I sit in an office collective with startups and freelancers. Here I have access to competent:
- Developers

I’m the co-founder and Organizer of open blockchain meet-up Trondheim. I can facilitate meet-ups in Bitcoin Unlimited’s name.
