Podcast appearances and mentions of ben kaufman

In this conversation, Ben Kaufman discusses the evolving relationship between Bitcoin and government, the implications of political engagement for Bitcoiners, and the advancements in self-custody technology.  He introduces Miniscript, a programming language for Bitcoin that enhances the flexibility of spending conditions, and explores innovative use cases, particularly in inheritance planning. The discussion also emphasizes the evolving landscape of Bitcoin self-custody, focusing on the security provided by Miniscript, the importance of emergency keys, and the role of Keeper in enhancing user experience.  Stephan and Ben also explore the challenges of self-custody, the need for education, and the catalysts that could drive more users towards self-custody solutions. The balance between security and usability is key, highlighting the advancements in technology that make self-custody more accessible to the average user. Takeaways

A few weeks back in this very email, I put out a request for a new content format we wanted to experiment with that we called “Startup Confessionals”.From my note:If you, or founders you know, are willing to share a startup confessional, we'd love to help. We can make these totally anonymized or public, whatever you're comfortable with. We'll be recording these remotely and aren't looking for hours long conversations — we're planning on editing them into quick lessons and anecdotes.For example, here are “confessional” conversations I've had with people one-on-one just in the last few weeks:— Over/under raising— Surprising/shocking fundraising stories— Horror stories of investors/board members behaving badly— Hiring to please investors — Acquisitions blocked or held hostage by investors/board membersThankfully, a few heeded the call. I think this week's video captures the essence of what we were going for and the experiences we were hoping to mine. This week, we have stories and lessons from some legendary founders —Ben Kauffman Founder of Quirky and Camp as well as CMO at Buzzfeed. Ben has an incredible knack for building brands and storytelling that has attracted some of the largest brand partnerships and most legendary investors. Harper ReedCame into the national spotlight as the Chieff Technology Officer for Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Shortly after, with encouragement and funding from then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, he founder Modest which was later acquired by PayPal. Most recently, he wound down a venture backed startup Galactic. He's currently exploring new ideas with his longtime collaborators. Finbarr Taylor  Got his start in tech in various staff roles at companies like Groupon, Pebble, and Y Combinator. As a co-founder of Shogun, he and his partners bootstrapped to over $1M in ARR before raising their first round of funding. That first round let to another and then another. Shogun continues to be a thriving business that Finbarr remains on the board of and actively advises in addition to angel investing. His takeaways from bootstrapping to rocketship growth to near unicorn status are lessons not to be missed or dismissed. This is our first attempt at this format and we're so grateful to Ben, Harper, and Finbarr (as well as the others we have in the can) for being willing to wade into such uncertain waters with us. We're really happy with how this turned out and welcome your feedback on how we can improve it over time. We'd also welcome more stories from you or your networks. If you know someone who'd be fun/interesting/insightful on the topic of unpacking their founder, or early employee experiences and lessons, please send them our way!As always, we hope you enjoy watching this one as much as we all enjoyed making it.Bryce

April Fools' Day embodies the spirit of pranks, so in honor of the holiday, Valley 101 explored how a prank orchestrated by Arizona State University students went viral in 2015.  Four ASU students spearheaded the effort to prank the University of Arizona during the football season. It was the fall of 2015, and the Territorial Cup – the rivalry game between the two colleges – was approaching. Ben Kaufman, a senior at the time, was leading the charge and wanted to do something more creative than the usual rival banter. The students decided to take a page out of history and fool Wildcats over a land purchase. This week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, revisits the prank between the two rival colleges that went viral and how its elaborate scheme fooled students.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Did we dodge the bullet? Federal agencies on Sunday approved plans to safeguard depositors affected by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on Friday, and the Federal Reserve is creating a Bank Term Funding Program to secure financial institutions from instability amid the SVB failure. Squawk Box's Becky Quick, Andrew Ross Sorkin and Steve Liesman discuss the near-miss, how government action prevented a broader financial crisis, and the moral hazard of the federal action.  Alexis Ohanian, venture capitalist and Reddit co-founder, describes the 72 hours of chaos experienced by young, start-up companies following the shutdown of Silicon Valley Bank.  The veteran entrepreneur who also funds early-stage companies said venture capitalists raised the alarm but should say “thank you” for the government backstop.  And, Camp cp-founder Ben Kaufman runs his business from the funds in his Silicon Valley Bank account; he shares the anxiety he felt over the weekend, looking for a cash infusion.  In this episode:Alexis Ohanian,@alexisohanianBen Kaufman, @benkaufmanSteve Liesman, @steveliesmanAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

Recently, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. Department of Education will cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for non-Pell Grant recipients. The announcement was a culmination of a campaign promise, though the news caused the websites of loan providers and a federal agency to crash in response to an influx of web traffic. Ben Kaufman is the Director of Research & Investigations at the Student Borrower Protection Center. Prior to joining SBPC, Ben worked as a Financial Analyst at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and in investment banking at JPMorgan. He joined the show to talk about the Biden student debt forgiveness plan. *** Follow GovExec on Twitter! https://twitter.com/govexec

Total student loan debt in the U.S. is estimated to be worth trillions of dollars. College debt affects millions of borrowers. And according to the Federal Reserve, the average student loan debt per borrower is more than $30,000 per student. The federal government has a role in the way that student debt is administered, especially as forgiveness has come to the front of the broader political conversation. Ben Kaufman is the Director of Research & Investigations at the Student Borrower Protection Center. Prior to joining SBPC, he worked as a Financial Analyst at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and in investment banking at JPMorgan. As part of our #MoneyMonday series, he joined the show me to discuss student debt and the governments role in administering it.

Welcome back to the Humans of Tepper Podcast. This week hosts Mike and Rosa Maria are joined by Yingqian Wang and Ben Kaufman to discuss family roles in their journey through an MBA at Tepper. Yingqian Wang is a member of the MBA Part-time Flex program, has a degree in Structural Engineering, and works full-time as a professional engineer. Ben is a first-year full-time MBA Student with an engineering background and was looking for a school with a STEM designation.    For Yingqian, the part-time program allowed her to develop professionally, connect with other people, and explore. Her husband graduated from Tepper, which gave her a lot of first-hand knowledge of the school. She also loved the flexibility of part-time study, virtual classes, and participation in clubs. In addition, access Weekend allows part-time students to get together and spend the weekend networking, taking classes, and more.   Ben's wife has been incredibly supportive of his schooling. He came in with many fears of disrupting the life they had built together. The hardest part for him is managing the recruiting aspect of his field, seeing as it lined up with the birth of his son. Everyone has been so accommodating when it comes to making time for life events. There are so many resources available to you that are incredibly helpful to support you through these life events. What You Will Learn:   Background on Yingqian Wang and Ben Kaufman. What brought them to study at Tepper. The role family plays in their life at Tepper and how they navigate a work-life balance.

    One of the things I get most stoked about when I look at the leaderless yet unstoppable growth of Bitcoin is the organic unity of minds that coalesce to bring new and exciting things into our reality. Unapologetically devoid of any central organising committee, but instead bound by the forcefield of Bitcoin's core principles of value, freedom and decentralisation, I am repeatedly left in wonderment watching waves of new initiatives breaking all over the world, promising new and exciting capabilities that have never existed nor even been possible before. Like SeedSigner (the nym – who we will now refer to as “SS” for the purpose of this brief article) and his creation of the SeedSigner (the project) – an open-source Bitcoin signing device developed to reduce the cost and complexity of executing multisig Bitcoin transactions. Driven by the proverbial mother of all invention, SS had been considering for some time how he could improve the security of his long-term Bitcoin holdings. Unhappy with his solution at the time – based on using Bitaddress.org to create wallets & private keys and then Shamir sharing/key sharding to add an additional layer of security – he was searching for something better.   "You start to wonder – as the gains happen – about your security setup. I wanted to get my security setup right, and multi sig was getting to the point where it was starting to be accessible to people”   When he became aware of the concept of multisig, I suspect he probably didn't realise what a rabbit hole he'd stumbled upon. Tuning into an episode of the Stephan Livera Podcast with Michael Flaxman, he heard Flaxman describe a means to “10x your Bitcoin security” using new multisig via tools like Specter Desktop. The legions of Specter fans out there (and those of you who peeped our previous feature with key contributor Ben Kaufman) will already be aware that their excellent open-source repo not only contains the blueprints for its multisig wallet software, but a DIY hardware wallet build too. With his natural inclinations towards techie tinkering and 3D printing sufficiently piqued, SS figured he'd take a shot at putting a unit together to try out for himself. The experience, in short, blew his mind.   "The first time I signed a transaction with multisig, I can only compare it to the first time I sent a Bitcoin transaction or the first time I ever sent a lightning transaction; it was this magical lightbulb moment" SS   It was the start of something. When Flaxman subsequently tweeted about how cool it would be to have a neat enclosure to tidy up the loose parts and wires of his self-assembled Specter device, SS responded in the best way he knew and knocked-up a prototype for him. With Specter's innards now neatly stuffed inside a perfectly formed 3D-printed case, Flaxman described the experience of using it as a game changer: “You go from dangling loose wires to a securely mounted professional (enough) device with NO SOLDERING”.   "For me, it was kind of a game to see how low I can drive the price down to get this basic signing functionality; where people can use the device to create private keys and then set up a wallet and actually transact with the Bitcoin network" SS   Buoyed by the experience, the pair started talking about using a much cheaper, stripped-down Pi ‘Zero' and small Waveshare LCD which could be used as an air-gapped device for calculating the 24th (checksum) word in a seed. SS then decided to add a camera to the unit which would allow users to scan QR codes and sign transactions, turning it into a fully-functional transaction signing device that fundamentally does the same job as the Specter HWW but with some of its more high-end bells & whistles stripped out. In doing so, the price point (and physical size) could be reduced, allowing far more people to access the unit's seed-generation, seed-import and transaction signing capabilities. And with that, the SeedSigner was born. With cheap and widely available off-the-shelf components, SeedSigner now provides a naturally inexpensive, open-source, air-gapped signing system which carries a higher degree of security assurance than some of the more high-end, network-attachable devices. But why would anyone want an inexpensive signing device that you can assemble yourself using innocuous doodads sourced from any major electronics store, I hear you ask? Well, for starters, go and speak to any Ledger customer. A hack of Ledger's customer records database sadly compromised tens of thousands of customers' private data, including names, physical addresses and emails, reportedly causing a great deal of stress and countless threats and scam attempts being made on many of them. The whole episode, and the fallout since, has served as an important reminder that privacy is a one-way street, that private data has value, and that once your info is out there it is hard (if not impossible) to claw back. Thus being able to get your hands on a secure, fully-functional Bitcoin signing device without having to disclose any personal contact information is a great thing.   Secondly, when generating or entering your seed on a regular network-connectable HWW/signing device, you are placing some level of trust in the firmware developer that they have not introduced an exploitable backdoor. It might not be a worry shared by everyone, but if you are like me and have little capability to meaningfully audit code yourself, having a fully air-gapped solution like SeedSigner that has no network-attachability and which solely references visible QR codes is a welcome assurance that backdoors are unlikely.   "Something we've explored is having either a setting or a default mode where, when you first turn the device on, it brings up a snake or a Pac Man-type game" SS   "I personally have a bunch of multisig setups, but I'm pretty sure one SeedSigner is going to replace all my current hardware wallets. Especially for my backup cosigners – no need to keep buying those backup hardware devices" Keith Mukai   Then there's the fun stuff. The fresh perspectives and problem solving skills that SS and project contributor Keith Mukai and Newtonick bring to the mix in their development of SeedSigner are leading to some really cool micro-innovations and UX approaches.   A favourite of mine which they came up with recently is their introduction of a QR code transcription template & workflow. You see, with there being no retained storage capability on the device, each time users boot up the Seed Signer, they are forced to enter their seed anew. But with most seeds comprising 24 words, it can take a few minutes to enter them using the joystick and button controls as users scroll through the words on the device's small screen.   So they came up with an ingenious way to firstly give users the ability to generate a QR-version of their chosen seed words on the device itself, and secondly to then walk them through the transcription of the code onto a piece of paper using a felt-tip pen (analog FTW!). What this compellingly low-tech workflow gifts to users is the ability to scan the hand-drawn (and therefore air-gapped) QR-code back into the device via the camera instead of manual entry whenever the user wants to sign a transaction. Now who wouldn't want to give that a spin?! Not me, is who!   "A big turn around for the project was when Nick and Keith came in. Nick forked the original repo and then rewrote the whole code base to lay the groundwork for where we are today. Keith is hugely creative, especially on the UI side, and has brought some awesome new feature ideas to the project. They collaborate really well – there's a bit of ying & yang between them" SS   When experimenting with the concept, they found that QR codes are remarkably resilient and very forgiving in how neatly the codes need to be when hand-drawn – a boon for anyone with messy handwriting. Who knew? And if you're worried about your QR code paper copy falling into the wrong hands accidentally, then the solution to that is the same as you would use to protect your seed words properly – robust, secure physical storage and employment of a passphrase. Boom. Risk mitigated. And last but not least, there's the price point. $50 for an air-gapped multisig transaction signing device that allows you to create or import your own seed, export an xpub, sign your transactions in a safe and secure manner and essentially kickstart your sat stacking journey without any 3rd parties knowing about it? As Keith Mukai explained to me, you now have the ability to use one piece of cheap hardware to sign for basically infinite keys – which is a big deal for anyone who might not want to drop hundreds of dollars for several name-brand HWWs. This opens up the option for a family or even, say, a small El Salvadoran village to be able to share one device amongst themselves. Cypherpunk af!   "[At first] I just kind of tinkered with it – you're kind of scratching your own itch, and just trying to bring something that you want to see into existence" SS   So if you've been flirting with the idea of trying multisig quorum set-ups for yourself but have hesitated because of cost concerns or complexity worries with more established hardware wallet vendors, I suggest you try these bad boys out. And if you're way ahead of me on this and keen to contribute some help to this awesome project, the team would love to hear from you. Now that the overall code structure has been established, they are iterating and making improvements where they see the need and also seeking contributors to create walkthroughs/tutorials on building and using SeedSigner and technical users who can help to test new features and upcoming releases.

Today on The Dossier podcast we brought on Ben Kaufman, a native Israeli, human freedom advocate (you will love his Twitter @_BenKaufman) who works in the Bitcoin world as a software engineer. Ben gave us his unique perspective on all of the COVID craziness going on in his homeland, including why he decided to temporarily take a hiatus abroad due to the restrictions. We talked about parliamentary democracy in Israel, and how a system built on almost blind trust enabled Israel to consume one of the strongest doses of COVID Mania worldwide. Enjoy!

In this episode of The Van Wirdum Sjorsnado, Aaron van Wirdum hosts one more interview without his regular cohost Sjors Provoost. Instead, he is joined by Blockstream's Lawrence Nahum, one of the developers behind the Jade wallet, and Ben Kaufman, one of the developers of the Spectre wallet, which is specifically designed to work with hardware wallets. Aaron, Lawrence and Ben talk about what hardware wallets are, and discuss the design tradeoffs that different hardware wallets have taken by focussing on the Trezor, Ledger and ColdCard specifically. In this light, Lawrence and Ben explain what secure elements and secure chips are, and why some hardware wallets choose to rely on using such chips more than others. Then, Lawrence explains which tradeoffs the Jade wallet makes. He also details how an additional server-based security step is used to further secure the Jade wallet, and briefly outlines some additional differences in hardware wallet designs, for example those focused on usability. Finally, Aaron, Lawrence and Ben discuss whether the concept of hardware wallets are a good idea in the first place, or if it would perhaps be better to use dedicated smartphones to store your bitcoin. And don't worry, Sjors will be back for episode 44!

In this episode, Ben Kaufman & Stefanie von Jan join me to discuss the root causes of the artificially created "Boom & Bust" cycle- in connection with Ben´s fantastic article "Bitcoin and the Business Cycle". Quote from article: "Money is the backbone of the market economy, it is what coordinates the action of everyone, which is why it must be neutral — resistant to manipulations and forced debasements. It is time that we take the thing out of the hands of the state, back into the hands of the people. It’s time to move to Bitcoin." Ben Kaufman: "The current financial system is unsustainable. Government interventions, especially its control over the money, are the root for the systemic issues existing in our economy and which make its collapse inevitable. Bitcoin opens a new alternative in the form of a parallel system, and has the potential to transform the economy and enable truly sustainable economic growth. Today, with the economic distress felt so strongly everywhere, Bitcoin is needed more than ever. It is time for everyone to start exploring it, and gradually move away from the traditional system of government privileges, towards the self-sovereignty of the Bitcoin economy."

When starting something new, most of us tend to research, analyze, plan, and procrastinate. Because we don't want to fail. We don't want to be exposed as imposters. And we don't want to take big risks. But in novel and complex spaces, that strategy doesn't help, it only slows us down without increasing our odds. Instead, we need to start by starting and learn by doing so that our ideas can make contact with reality as soon as possible. In this episode, we explore how to get on with it—by starting small and working iteratively—so that more good things make it out into the world. And speaking of good things, later we are joined by Ben Kaufman, founder and CEO of the revolutionary toy store CAMP, who shares why he feels compelled to start impossible projects, and how he rushes in before all the reasons he shouldn't overwhelm him.
