Podcasts about BIP

Grab your drink and pull up a chair - it's another Bitcoin Roundtable with Simple Steve, Bitcoin Mechanic, and my brother Jeff Swann. This time we're diving into the chaos around soft forks, censorship, and the latest round of Bitcoin drama. We get into the weeds (and the memes) of BIP 444, Taproot fallout, node wars, and whether limiting data on-chain is smart security or overzealous gatekeeping. Between technical tangents, Halloween costumes, and a few “did that really happen?” moments, we bounce between philosophy and practicality... all while trying to figure out who exactly broke Bitcoin this time.

La posta è sempre alta: come scalare Bitcoin. Arkade delude parzialmente le aspettative e la ricerca continua.Inoltre: Christine Lagarde al mercato, il fork BIP-444 e tutte le sue assurdità, e il PlanP Forum di Lugano si conferma l'evento finance di riferimento.It's showtime!

Rob Hamilton breaks down BIP 444, the controversial soft fork proposal to limit OP_RETURN outputs and remove inscriptions. Legal pressure on mining pools, hashrate drama, and why this fork will likely fail. Rob Hamilton from AnchorWatch joins us to talk about the explosive BIP 444 proposal that could fork Bitcoin. We break down PortlandHodl's original 520-byte output limit idea, LukeDashjr's controversial technique to ban inscriptions, and the legal pressure being applied to mining pools. Rob explains why this fork will likely fail, what happens to your Bitcoin if it succeeds, and why opponents finally admitted a consensus change was needed all along. Subscribe to the newsletter! https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.com **Notes:** • BIP 444 limits outputs to 520 bytes max • OP_RETURN reduced from current to 84 bytes • F2Pool controls 12% hash rate, opposes fork • Mining pool switching costs nearly nothing • Fork creates 2 coins: pure vs unholy Bitcoin • Legal pressure applied to multiple pools Timestamps: 00:00 Start 01:55 Portland HODL's proposal 04:48 PR 444 (is dumb) 08:22 Author of the PR: Dathon Ohm 09:45 Knots & Ocean inner circle 10:45 LEGAL & MORAL authorities!

Sean Bowe is a cryptographer and engineer who is best known for revolutionizing Zcash. After cooperating to fix the inflation bug in the first version of the network, he built Halo to remove the trusted setup – basically obliterating the main reason why Bitcoin did not activate the Zerocash soft fork in 2013. More recently, Sean Bowe announced project Tachyon: an ambitious initiative to scale ZK SNARKs (the technology enabling shielded transactions) to billions of users.

Sozialstaat, Verteidigung, Investitionen in die Zukunft – all dies lässt sich am leichtesten finanzieren, wenn die Wirtschaft wächst. Wächst die Wirtschaft aber nicht, dann verschärfen sich die Verteilungskonflikte. Die OECD rechnet vor, dass das reale BIP pro Kopf in Deutschland seit 2015 weniger als drei Prozentpunkte zugelegt hat – in den USA um rund 40 Prozentpunkte und im Schnitt aller OECD-Länder um 36 Prozentpunkte. Sogar der Euroraum als Ganzes hat sich mit rund 12 Prozentpunkten deutlich besser entwickelt. Die Aussichten für eine Trendwende sind schlecht. Laut Prognosen sinkt das Potenzialwachstum weiter und dürfte 2030 gerade einmal 0,2 Prozent betragen. Neben dem Rückgang der Produktivitätsfortschritte durch fehlende Investitionen und Innovationen liegen die Ursachen dafür vor allem auch im Rückgang der Erwerbsbevölkerung. Bis 2040 wird ein Verlust von etwa 8 bis 10 Prozent erwartet, regional können es sogar bis über 15 Prozent sein. Nettozuwanderung und steigende Erwerbsquoten können das nur teilweise kompensieren.Das Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW) legt zusätzlich den Finger in die Wunde: 1,8 Prozent Produktivitätszuwachs jährlich sind bis 2035 erforderlich, um den heutigen Lebensstandard zu halten. Darüber spricht Daniel Stelter mit dem Geschäftsführer des IW, Prof. Dr. Hubertus Bardt. Er lehrt als Honorarprofessor an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Wirtschafts- und Industriepolitik sowie Klimaökonomie.HörerserviceStudie Hemmnisse und Herausforderungen bei der Bewältigung der demografischen Produktivitätslücke in Deutschland des Instituts der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW): https://is.gd/ojHzrz Studie OECD‑Wirtschaftsberichte: Deutschland 2025 der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung: https://is.gd/59YD4n beyond the obviousNeue Analysen, Kommentare und Einschätzungen zur Wirtschafts- und Finanzlage finden Sie unter think-bto.com.NewsletterDen monatlichen bto-Newsletter abonnieren Sie hier.RedaktionskontaktWir freuen uns über Ihre Meinungen, Anregungen und Kritik unter podcast@think-bto.com.Handelsblatt – Ein exklusives Angebot für alle „bto – beyond the obvious – featured by Handelsblatt“-Hörer*innen: Testen Sie Handelsblatt Premium 4 Wochen lang für 1 Euro und bleiben Sie zur aktuellen Wirtschafts- und Finanzlage informiert.

In this episode, I host a deep dive on open-source Bitcoin mining hardware and network policy. We kick off with updates on the Ember One v5 hashboard design: a modern, smarter voltage regulator with digital telemetry and over-temp safeguards, header breakouts for optional fan-control daughterboards, and the tradeoff of dropping 24V input in favor of better performance up to 17V. We talk real-world cooling scenarios from hardwired desk fans to immersion, water blocks, and the dream of a fully passive, fanless space-heater miner, and how firmware can target room temperature using external thermostats or Home Assistant, including hashing on dummy work for heat when the network's down. We also cover system builds with S9 chassis reuse, USB hub scaling, and the open-source release on the 256 Foundation's GitHub.Then we zoom out to software and network sovereignty: IPv6 support work on Bitaxe and why testing the full chain (ISP to router to device) matters; the merits of self-hosting vs cloud IoT, dynamic DNS, and why more economic nodes will matter as home mining grows. We wade into Bitcoin Core vs Knots relay/mempool policy drama, argue for keeping “the knobs” and user choice, and explore a BIP proposing a scriptable mempool policy. Finally, we unpack copyleft vs MIT licensing for hardware and software, what “preferred format for modification” means for open hardware (use real CAD source, e.g., KiCad), how legal enforcement has played out (Cisco/Linux precedent), and why open-source accelerates development, decentralizes control, and creates durable ecosystems using Bitaxe's rapid growth as a case study.

Simon and Dan return with the second half of their deep dive into 50 Ways to Invest in the AI Revolution. While Part 1 covered the obvious giants—semiconductors, hyperscalers, pure-play AI software, enterprise apps, and data center REITs—this episode looks at some of the less obvious but equally important beneficiaries of AI. From utilities and grid infrastructure to commodities like uranium, copper, and natural gas, they explore the backbone powering AI’s massive energy demand. They also dig into healthcare, cybersecurity, IT consulting, and industrial automation—sectors where AI is already improving efficiency, margins, and innovation in ways most investors overlook. Once again, they highlight dozens of companies and ETFs across these subsectors, balancing both the opportunities and the risks. If you’re wondering how to get diversified AI exposure beyond the usual suspects like NVDA and MSFT, this episode is packed with fresh angles and ticker ideas.

We expose controversial Bitcoin developer Luke Dash Jr, his extreme religious and political views, geocentric beliefs, and how his Bitcoin Knots client reflects his authoritarian ideology while claiming to save Bitcoin. Today we dive deep into the controversial world of Luke Dash Jr, the Bitcoin developer behind Bitcoin Knots who believes the sun orbits the Earth, supports monarchy over democracy, follows an obscure Catholic sect with only 30,000 followers worldwide, and thinks using Bitcoin in ways he disapproves of should be criminal.

Guest post by Paul Wright, who is a passionate technology reviewer and writer with a focus on emerging innovations. Cryptocurrency wallets give traders and investors the freedom to fully control their digital assets without relying on banks or centralized services. But with that freedom comes an enormous responsibility: securing your wallet. If you lose access to your crypto wallet without a backup, your funds could be gone forever. One of the most critical elements of wallet security is your recovery phrase - sometimes called a seed phrase, mnemonic phrase, or backup phrase. Understanding what it is, how it works, and how to back it up properly is essential if you want to protect your crypto holdings for the long term. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about recovery phrases, from the basics to advanced security practices. By the end, you'll know exactly how to safeguard your assets and avoid common mistakes that leave traders vulnerable. What Is a Crypto Recovery Phrase? A recovery phrase is a sequence of randomly generated words - usually 12, 18, or 24 words - that serves as the master key to your crypto wallet. It's generated when you first create a wallet and is designed to be human-readable so you can write it down or memorize it. Behind the scenes, those words correspond to a cryptographic seed. That seed is used to derive all of the private keys that control your cryptocurrency. In other words, whoever holds your recovery phrase has full control over your funds. This is why exchanges, hardware wallets, and software wallets consistently stress the importance of securely storing your recovery phrase. Why Is the Recovery Phrase So Important? Unlike traditional bank accounts, crypto wallets don't have a customer support hotline to reset your password. If you lose your recovery phrase and can't access your wallet, no one - not even the wallet provider - can help you. The recovery phrase is important because: It unlocks every account and token in your wallet. Even if you have multiple addresses, they all stem from that one seed. It allows you to restore your wallet on any compatible device. If your computer crashes, phone is lost, or hardware wallet is damaged, the phrase lets you restore access. It's your only fallback. Without it, there is no recovery. How Recovery Phrases Are Generated Most modern wallets follow the BIP-39 standard, which defines how recovery phrases are created. Here's how it works in simple terms: Your wallet generates a random number. That number is converted into a binary sequence. The sequence is split into segments that correspond to words from a standardized dictionary of 2048 words. The result is your recovery phrase. Because the dictionary is standardized, any wallet that supports BIP-39 can interpret the phrase, ensuring compatibility across devices. Best Practices for Storing Your Recovery Phrase Since your recovery phrase is the single point of failure for your wallet, you must treat it with extreme care. Here are the best practices every trader should follow: 1. Write It Down, Don't Store Digitally Screenshots, cloud storage, and password managers are vulnerable to hacks. Always write your phrase on paper or use a dedicated backup medium. 2. Store It in Multiple Secure Locations Fire, floods, and theft can destroy a single copy. Keep at least two copies in geographically separate locations. 3. Use Durable Storage Options Paper degrades over time. Consider metal seed storage devices that resist fire, water, and physical damage. 4. Never Share It With Anyone Scammers may pose as support staff or friends. No legitimate service will ever ask for your recovery phrase. 5. Test Your Backup Before storing large amounts of crypto, test your backup by restoring your wallet on another device with a small balance. Common Mistakes to Avoid Many beginners make simple errors that can cost them dearly. Here are the mistakes you must avoid: Taking a photo of your phrase and saving...

This week kicks off with a PSA, YFT'ers: don't drink espresso martinis if you want to sleep. Wells learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Fresh off zero rest and a Disneyland trip, he's got thoughts on croc charms, Mickey ears, and why the duck pond is way more fun with a gummy or two. Meanwhile, Brandi's up to four dogs at home (thanks, Matt), and wondering how many more she can handle. The BIP reunion pod Wells hosted was high on chaos, low on tea, and has us asking: is it time for a Bachelor reboot with someone totally new? Rounding things out are fave things galore — from Netflix thrillers to Hallmark horse romances to Carrie Bradshaw maybe never learning a thing. Buckle up, we love ya!

This week kicks off with a PSA, YFT'ers: don't drink espresso martinis if you want to sleep. Wells learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Fresh off zero rest and a Disneyland trip, he's got thoughts on croc charms, Mickey ears, and why the duck pond is way more fun with a gummy or two. Meanwhile, Brandi's up to four dogs at home (thanks, Matt), and wondering how many more she can handle. The BIP reunion pod Wells hosted was high on chaos, low on tea, and has us asking: is it time for a Bachelor reboot with someone totally new? Rounding things out are fave things galore — from Netflix thrillers to Hallmark horse romances to Carrie Bradshaw maybe never learning a thing. Buckle up, we love ya!

No Skype-call needed this week as Brandi joins Wells off the top with news about a glossy magazine cover moment (yep, all four Cyruses on one cover—art, bro). Wells is back from Toronno, missing the fine cuisine but not the ass-biting dogs. He's also gearing up to host the official Bachelor in Paradise reunion podcast with the entire cast! What could go wrong… This week, we dive into Italian pickpocket justice, the Cardi B trial, divisive tiktok music and of course the wild Bachelor in Paradise finale. We won't spoil too much (but if you haven't watched it yet, seriously you gotta stop what you're doing and catch up) but there are engagements, secret envelopes of cash, last ditch efforts of sabotage and maybe a little love? It's got it all. Meanwhile, we've also got your fave things fix and a hot new track that Wells is calling the song of the summer (he didn't actually say that, but could it be?)

Wells is riding high on the joy of low-stakes weekends while Brandi checks in from Hawaii, taking a much needed vacay. Your hosts dive into episode 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where Faith arrives on a horse (iconic), Dale serves up some Chip ‘n Dale energy, and Jonathan somehow keeps getting chances he doesn't deserve. Nancy and Rizz-King Gary hit it off (was it the psychedelics?!), and Wells implants himself into BIP lore with an iconic one-liner (“you look like Toucan Sam on crystal meth”). He also makes a big pitch for bringing back the Boom Boom Room, because why not??

Wells is riding high on the joy of low-stakes weekends while Brandi checks in from Hawaii, taking a much needed vacay. Your hosts dive into episode 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where Faith arrives on a horse (iconic), Dale serves up some Chip ‘n Dale energy, and Jonathan somehow keeps getting chances he doesn't deserve. Nancy and Rizz-King Gary hit it off (was it the psychedelics?!), and Wells implants himself into BIP lore with an iconic one-liner (“you look like Toucan Sam on crystal meth”). He also makes a big pitch for bringing back the Boom Boom Room, because why not??
