This week, we present the third installment in the Zero Knowledge Systems story. In this episode, Anna chats with Austin Hill, one of the original founders of Zero Knowledge Systems. They explore the company's early days, Austin's background in tech, and what this scene in Montreal was like in the late '90s. The conversation covers fundraising during the dot-com boom, Zero Knowledge Systems's ambitious vision for internet privacy, its flagship product Freedom, and how the company pivoted from a broad individual privacy mission to a more focused B2B approach. They cover Austin's journey after ZKS—including how he discovered Bitcoin, co-founded Blockstream, and navigated the challenges of building a business around open-source infrastructure. He also discusses a new project he's involved in, which ventures into a completely different field—material nanotechnology. We encourage you to check out the first two episodes of the series here and here before diving into this one.

This week Anna jumps back into the story of Zero Knowledge Systems with Jonathan Wilkins, cofounder Blockstream and Cloaked Services and previous employee of ZKS back in 2000. They explore the emergence of security culture in the 1990s, what led Jonathan to join Zero Knowledge Systems and his experience working on projects such as the Freedom Network. They discuss the office atmosphere and the research lab before catching up on the work Jonathan has focused on since then. Key concepts we see in the ZK community today were first pioneered by the Zero Knowledge Systems research team and we hope to invite more of these past members of the team in the future!

This episode of the Blockchain DXB Podcast is a unique review, fully written and voiced by AI using Notebook LM by Google. We explore groundbreaking developments in the crypto world, including President Donald Trump's official memecoin, his portrait etched on the Bitcoin blockchain, groundbreaking Bitcoin reserve bills in U.S. states, and Komainu's ambitious $75M funding for global expansion. Let's dive in!
While impatiently waiting for my Jade Plus I started digging into the Jade docs and found a unique idea for securing a hardware wallet using a blind oracle. In the theme of our adventures breaking down various security models and leveraging servers or secondary devices for added protection and convenience, this presents a really interesting new too. And of course its open source, so you can run one yourself! Ever innovating and ever exploring, let's dive into the blind oracle design of the Jade.

In this episode, we discuss the history of Argentina, exploring the impact of hyperinflation, political corruption, and the rise of populism. Fernando shares his thoughts on the impact of Juan Perón's legacy, the devastation caused by decades of mismanagement, and the cultural factors that shaped the country's economic collapse. We also discuss the rise of Javier Milei, the new libertarian leader, his drastic reforms, and the potential for Argentina to become a global libertarian test case.

Hoe gaat het met de bullmarkt van Bitcoin? Dat en meer bespreekt Herbert Blankesteijn met Tuur Demeester, Bitcoin investeerder, analist en adviseur voor onder meer Blockstream en Unchained, in een nieuwe aflevering van de Cryptocast. Ook spreken we met Tuur over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de VS. Want daar heeft de politiek Bitcoin en de bredere crypto-industrie omarmd. En dan kijken we vooral naar de Republikeinse partij, die bij monde van Donald Trump zeggen de Amerikaanse cryptobedrijven te willen beschermen. Komend weekend zal Donald Trump zelf spreken op Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville. Rond zijn speech hangen de wildste verwachtingen, maar alleen al het feit dat een ex-president en huidige presidentskandidaat Bitcoin lijkt te omarmen is een bijzondere ontwikkeling. Het roept ook vragen op over de staat van Europa. Tuur is, onder meer bij zijn keynote op een bitcoinevenement in Praag, kritisch op de staat van ons continent. Bitcoin kan daar een uitkomst zijn, want Tuur voorziet inflatie als één van de grootste toekomstige problemen. De vraag is hoe Bitcoin zich de komende maanden en jaren gaat ontwikkelen. In Cryptocast 333 becijferde Bert Slagter dat er ongeveer 800 miljard dollar aan instroom nodig was om een koers van 250.000 dollar per Bitcoin te bereiken. Alle koersdoelen lager dan dat zullen als een 'tegenvallende' bullmarkt worden beschouwd. Tuur maakt zich daar echter geen zorgen over. Hij ziet het geld van alle kanten Bitcoin instromen en mogelijk zelfs de marktkapitalisatie van goud benaderen. Op dat niveau zou Bitcoin een koers van ongeveer 750.000 dollar hebben.

Join us in a discussion with Adam Back, a trailblazer in the world of cryptography and the evolution of blockchain technology. In this episode of Digital Currents, Adam delves into his early days of creating Hashcash, his interaction with Bitcoin's mysterious founder(s), under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, and the inception of his brainchild, Blockstream. We explore the transformation of Hashcash from an anti-spam tool to a key aspect of cryptocurrency mining and discuss the future of Bitcoin and blockchain against the backdrop of emerging technologies like quantum computing. Adam also shares his insights on the vital role of sidechains, the potential of the Liquid Network, and his vision for securing digital freedom and privacy in an increasingly connected world.

En el podcast de hoy trataremos junto a Adolfo Contreras de Blockstream y a Elías Fernández de Minerset, todo lo que hay que saber de los Halving. Y además, profundizaremos en las oportunidades, retos y amenazas del periodo de 4 años que empieza este 20 de abril. ¿Quieres saber qué ASIC miners dominarán, qué hashrate veremos o qué jurisdicción acaparará el máximo número de mineros?

Christian Decker is a researcher and developer at Blockstream. In this interview, we discuss the evolution of the Lightning Network and the challenges of making it more user-friendly. Decker introduces Blockstream's new service, Greenlight, which simplifies the management and security of running a Lightning node. We also discuss the concept of covenants in Bitcoin and how they can be used to restrict the spending of funds. - - - - I first interviewed Christian Decker about the Lightning Network in April 2019. Over the past four and a half years, the Lightning Network has made significant strides in terms of its technical development, to the satisfaction of many of those working on it. However, the challenge of making the Lightning Network more accessible to non-technical users remains as the potential means to accelerate wider adoption. The current situation is that users require a deep understanding of Bitcoin and Lightning, which can obviously be off-putting for many. This led to the development by Christian of Blockstream's new product, Greenlight, which aims to simplify the management and security burdens of running a Lightning node. It aims to provide a non-custodial Lightning-as-a-service, predicated on Blockstream's commitment to transparency and user empowerment. Greenlight was born out of the need to bridge the gap between custodial and non-custodial solutions. It provides a user-friendly onboarding experience, allowing users to have their own Lightning node while Blockstream's servers handle the operational processes. The keys remain on the user's device, ensuring security. It has been designed as a tool for all users: from end users who need assistance with managing their funds and channels on the Lightning Network, to app developers who struggle with integrating Lightning into their applications. However, whilst Greenlight makes the Lightning Network more accessible, it doesn't necessarily make it more decentralized. There is still a level of centralisation in infrastructure and traffic monitoring. The goal is to educate users and empower them to run their own nodes, thus increasing their self-sovereignty on the Lightning Network. Our conversation was a deep dive into the evolution of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network and the exciting future that lies ahead with services like Greenlight. As the community continues to explore and innovate, the goal remains the same: to make these technologies more accessible and empower users to take control of their financial future. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/scaling-bitcoin This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

“How much of the management burden, how much of the security burden can we take away from users while they are learning, while they are reaping the benefits of using bitcoin?…Maybe they only become interested once you've seen the upside.”— Christian DeckerChristian Decker is a researcher and developer at Blockstream.
