Nick Solinger

__NOTOC__ 
Nick Solinger is president of FIA Technology Services, Inc., (FIA Tech) the wholly owned subsidiary technology services division of the Futures Industry Association, an advocacy and education organization for the global derivatives markets. He joined FIA in January 2016 after spending seven years as the head of product strategy and chief marketing officer at Traiana, a post-trade processing and risk management network for FX, exchange-traded derivatives, equities and equity derivatives. 
He succeeded Mary Ann Burns, who was named executive chair of the FIA Tech board of directors.
== Background ==
Solinger first joined Traiana in 2002 as vice president of marketing and business development. He left the firm for three years, when he worked as chief marketing officer for XOJET, a private jet charter company, but rejoined Trainana in 2009 as its head of marketing and product strategy. He left the company briefly in early 2015 but returned in the same role two weeks later, concurrent with the departure of then-CEO Andy Coyne. 
Solinger led the team that launched Harmony, the firm's trade life cycle management network that is now considered to be Traiana's flagship product line. 
Earlier in his career, Solinger spent four years at e-commerce firm Ariba.

Before that, he managed the Americas Application Technology team at Oracle Corporation.

Pipelines: Nick Solinger Talks Market Infrastructure for SEFs
It’s been a historic year for swap execution facilities as more were launched in the wake of Dodd-Frank rulemaking by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Nick Solinger, head of product strategy and chief marketing officer of Traiana, said that its been a good year for firms getting connected to SEFs and for SEFs getting off the ground. The firm connected 16 FCMs to 16 SEFs with six more on the way.
"The typical FCM has been able to clear, three, four, five, six different venues with that one connection to our hub," Solinger said. "Buy-side firms can similarly trade across multiple SEFs with one-credit line. So we really have realized that initial vision we had as an industry."

Nick Szabo

Nick Szabo, a computer scientist and lawyer, is one of the founders of the field of cryptocurrencies. A number of crypto insiders have speculated that he is the real "Satoshi Nakamoto," although Szabo has denied it. 
== Background ==
Nick Szabo is credited with introducing the concept of a smart contract. In a 1996 article titled "Smart Contracts: Building Blocks for Digital Markets" Szabo noted four crucial elements of contracts: observability - the ability of parties to the contract to observe each others' actions under the contract; verifiability; privity - that there is no opportunity for interference by parties outside the contract; and enforceability. With regard to digital contracts, Szabo said that protocols based on mathematics, called cryptographic protocols, are the basic building blocks that implement the improved tradeoffs between observability, verifiability, privity, and enforceability in smart contracts."
Szabo invented the concept for a precursor to bitcoin called "bit gold." Not only was the currency encrypted but it ran on a decentralized platform. The proposed benefits of using Bit Gold would have been that the system itself maintained accurate records of account balances and that there was no need for a third party like a bank. Szabo, however, did not crack the code on the double-spend problem - meaning that under some circumstances a coin could be used for two sets of transactions.
While publicizing his book, "Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits," in 2015, New York Times writer Nathaniel Popper surmised publicly that Szabo is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto. In a New York Times article Popper reported that researchers at Aston University in England had compared writings by a number of researchers and had found Szabo's writings to be remarkably similar to those of Nakamoto, unlike that of the others. Around the time of the tenth anniversary of the bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2018, journalists revived speculation that Szabo is Nakamoto. 
==Education==
Szabo studied Computer Science at University of Washington. Szabo graduated from George Washington University's law school in 2006.
==Publications==
In addition to his blog postings, Szabo has published numerous essays and papers on a wide variety of subjects, including 
* Advanced Distributed Security for Online Commerce
* E-Commerce and Online Business Processes
* Law and Philosophy
* History and Theory of Institutions
* Security, Fault Tolerance, Computation, Information, Mathematics
* Technological Protection of Rights
