Help us become a better community
My name is Chris Berkhout. I am a programmer from Melbourne, Australia. My day job involves Ruby, JavaScript and Python, and managing Linux servers, to provide geospatial web services.
I bought my first Bitcoins early last year and have been reading about and experimenting with Bitcoin more intensively this year.
I am particularly interested in helping to develop conventions and standards that will let users manage their finances more easily with Bitcoin than with traditional banking. Part of this is supporting new types of transactions (e.g. scheduled, recurring, and escrow and other Script-enforced transaction semantics), but I think that better management of metadata about Bitcoin balances and transactions is just as important. Wallets I have used allow labels to be applied to addresses, but the ability for this data to be exchanged between wallets and other services seems to be limited so far.
I look forward to becoming a part of the Bitcoin community!
Cheers,
Chris

Welcome to Bitcointalk, glad to have you here!
Welcome! Let us know your thoughts on where the protocol can be improved. Personally, I spend quite a bit of time looking at alt-coins, mainly to see what parts of bitcoin seem to be targets for improvement (blockchain compression, mining costs, faster confirmations, and so on).
Again, welcome to the forums!
