My guest today is Charlie Shrem. Charlie was a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation and BitInstant - one of the earliest Bitcoin exchanges. In this episode, he takes us through his incredible life story-starting with how an Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn got into the wild world of Bitcoin. He then talks about how Bitcoin went from a toy to a real store of value, the wild success of BitInstant, his time in prison, and how he met Justin Trudeau through a robot. The story of Charlie's adult life is in many ways mirrors the story of Bitcoin, and I hope you enjoy this episode with Charlie Shrem.

Block Version Number in BitcoinThe block version number in Bitcoin serves as an indicator of which set of consensus rules a block follows. It's also used to signal miners' readiness or support for upcoming protocol upgrades. Over time, block version numbers have evolved from simple sequential numbers (like versions 1 through 4) to a more complex bit-field system, which allows for multiple upgrades to be signaled at once.From last time you badgered me I made some notes. Evolution of Block VersionsEarly Versions (1-4):These were straightforward indicators of protocol changes. For example:Version 1 was used from the Genesis block until March 2013.Version 2 came with BIP 34, authored by Gavin Andresen, it added the block height to the coinbase transaction and was activated at Block 227,931 on March 27, 2013.Version 3 enforced stricter signature validation with BIP 66, authored by Pieter Wuille, it ensured correct DER encoding of signatures. It activated at Block 363,725 on July 4, 2015.Version 4 enabled CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) with BIP 65, also authored by Pieter Wuille, it allowed for time-locked transactions and activated at Block 388,381 on December 11, 2015.Then come the Version Bits format:Bitcoin upgrades were becoming increasingly complex, the block version system transitioned to the Version Bits signaling mechanism, which allows multiple protocol changes to be signaled at once using specific bits in the block version field, allowing miners to signal support for up to 29 features simultaneously, each represented by a specific bit in the 32-bit version field.When Segregated Witness (SegWit) was introduced, Bitcoin transitioned from simple block versions to the complex numbers seen today.Special Note: before we review the important key version bits, I have to make something clear. These version numbers are more than just sequential; they signal specific changes using bitsI am going to call out version numbers like 536 870 912, which is is the decimal representation of the hexadecimal value 0x20000000The full number 536870912 in binary is 00100000000000000000000000000000.“536" doesn't have standalone significance. It's just a part of the decimal value when the binary representation of 0x20000000 is converted into base 10 (which equals 536870912).The important part lies in the bitwise representation, where the leading bits "001" in the binary form, are reserved for signaling purposes, indicating that version bits are being used.But for the purpose of conveying version numbers to a human (this human being you Max) we will use the decimal representation instead of 0x2 nd a bunch of zeros or 001 and 29 more zeros.Now to the bit version section…Version 536 870 912 indicated readiness for SegWit, introduced through BIP 141 (authored by Pieter Wuille). SegWit was activated on August 24, 2017, at Block 481,824.Version 536 870 913 was used to signal support for BIP 91 and authored by James Hilliard. BIP 91 lowered the threshold required for SegWit's activation. It was locked in at Block 477,120 on July 20, 2017.Version 536 870 914 and 536 870 916 continued signaling for SegWit deployment through various BIPs.How It Works TodayToday, miners use the Version Bits system to signal support for new upgrades, and they must keep their block version numbers in line with consensus rules. Version numbers like 536870912 (SegWit) are still recognized by the network, and each bit in the version number, a miner can signal support for different soft forks simultaneously.For instance, if the network is ready for a future upgrade, miners will flip the corresponding bit in their block version number, signaling their support for the upgrade. The rest of the version field remains intact, allowing multiple soft forks to be signaled at the same time.First 3 bits = 001: Reserved and indicate version bits are being used.Remaining 29 bits: Available for signaling specific soft forks or protocol changes. Each of these bits corresponds to a different potential feature being activated.Car Analogy for Bitcoin Block Version NumbersLet's compare Bitcoin's block version numbers to Fords and how their cars evolved from simple model numbers to VIN numbers that represent various features and changes in their design over the years.The Model T and Block Version 1:Just like Ford's Model T, the first Bitcoin blocks (version 1) were basic, so basic, buyers didn't even have a choice in what color vehicle they could buy “you can have a car in any color so long as its black. Similar to early block versions that had no special features—the first blocks had no complex rules or signals, just the essentials.Evolving Model Years and Version Numbers:As Ford expanded its lineup, more models came out, and so did the need for differentiating cars beyond going from model T to Model A. Apply that to Bitcoin, version 1 to 4 were indicators of upgrades like block height (BIP-34), stricter validation (BIP-66), and time-locked transactions (BIP-65) can be compared to model T to model AComplex Version Bits = New Ford VIN Structure:Eventually, car manufacturers standardized more details in its VIN numbers to reflect all the specifics of each model the world manufacturers identifier, vehicle description section, and the vehicle identifier section—just like Bitcoin's version bits system, which allows for more granular signaling.The VIN was introduced in 1965 to track each vehicle's specifications. The first two characters of the VIN, such as “1F,” identify Ford and where the vehicle was built. 1F is a Ford built in the USA.For example, characters 4-8 in a Ford VIN indicate engine type, body style, and model, much like Bitcoin's complex version numbers (536 870 912 or 0x20000000) that signal specific features like SegWit (BIP-141) or BIP-91 activation.Or version 536 870 916 (0x20000004) signals both SegWit and BIP-91—much like how characters in the Ford VIN specify the engine, body, and trim level of a car.VINs were more standardized in the 80's. Ford's VIN numbers now include production year, plant location, and a unique serial number to distinguish every car (that's characters 10-17). Likewise, Bitcoin's version bits (introduced with version 536870912) can signal multiple protocol changes at once. Just as the tenth digit in a VIN tells you the model year (e.g., “J” for 1988), a Bitcoin version number can tell you which upgrades are active. Bits 1-3: Reserved for version signaling format (for example, the top three bits set to 001 for soft fork signaling).Bits 4-32 can each represent a specific feature or soft fork proposal, meaning multiple upgrades can be signaled simultaneously within the same block version field.ConclusionIn both cases, as the products (Fords and Bitcoin blocks) became more complex, the identifiers also became more detailed. From simple model numbers like T and A (Max likes T & A) to VIN numbers, Bitcoin's version bits both allow for greater customization and finer control.Like how car manufacturers track and signal changes to its cars over time with VINs, Bitcoin uses block version numbers to ensure the network continues to evolve. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, and a Ford is still a Ford regardless of the fact Henry Ford is dead, and Satoshi is not Craig Wright, or Adam Back, or Peter Todd.

von Pete Rizzo – Originaltitel: “The Last Days of Satoshi: What Happened When Bitcoin's Creator Disappeared” “In den letzten Tagen des Jahres 2010 wurde Satoshi Nakamoto zwar immer noch für die Erfindung von Bitcoin anerkannt und dafür respektiert, dass er die erste dezentralisierte digitale Währung der Welt zu einem 1-Millionen-Dollar-Markt gemacht hat. Aber als die Frustration über seine Autorität und Verfügbarkeit zunahm, wurde es für die Nutzer nur allzu üblich, Satoshi als Administrator zu bezeichnen[X], Satoshi den Engpass[X], Satoshi der Diktator[X].” (Pete Rizzo) Eine Reise durch Bitcoins Geschichte, rund um das Verschwinden von Satoshi vor etwas mehr als 12 Jahren. Wie wurde Satoshi damals wahrgenommen, wie lief der Wechsel der Bitcoin-Entwicklung von Satoshi zu Gavin Andresen ab, und welche kritischen Momente in der Bitcoin-Geschichte haben vermutlich zum Verschwinden von Satoshi geführt? Ein Pflichtartikel für jeden Bitcoiner… Besucht unbedingt den Originalartikel (s.o.), falls Euch die reich verlinkten Quellen des Artikels zum weiteren Nachforschen motivieren.

Bitcoin fue la primera criptomoneda creada y ahora es la más comercializada y conocida. Fue lanzado por primera vez en enero de 2009 por un programador de computadoras o un grupo de programadores bajo el seudónimo de Satoshi Nakamoto, cuya identidad real nunca se ha verificado. Un libro blanco de 2008 del misterioso creador de Bitcoin reveló originalmente el sistema de cadena de bloques que sería la columna vertebral del mercado de criptomonedas. Una cadena de bloques es un libro de contabilidad digital de transacciones que se replica y distribuye a través de una red de sistemas informáticos para proteger la información. Bitcoin ha tenido una historia volátil. Mark T. Williams, miembro de la facultad de la Escuela de Negocios Questrom de la Universidad de Boston, dijo una vez que "Bitcoin tiene una volatilidad siete veces mayor que el oro, ocho veces mayor que el S&P 500 y 18 veces el dólar estadounidense". El suministro de Bitcoin fue limitado desde el principio por Nakamoto para impulsar la oferta y la demanda. El número máximo de monedas estipulado para existir era de 21 millones. A partir del 29 de enero, existían 19 276 325 Bitcoins. Sin embargo, los operadores de minería de Bitcoin redondean regularmente los cálculos a la baja a medida que se crea cada bloque de monedas, lo que lleva a los expertos a creer que pasará hasta el año 2140 antes de que se alcance el límite. Después de que Nakamoto lanzó Bitcoin en 2009, extrajo aproximadamente 1,1 millones de Bitcoin y desapareció en 2010. Cedió el control a Gavin Andresen, anteriormente conocido como Gavin Bell, quien se propuso descentralizar la plataforma. Esto significaba que no había autoridad central, servidor, almacenamiento o administrador. Todas las partes fueron de igual a igual y la cadena de bloques se distribuyó a todos. La red existía simplemente para legitimar y confirmar las transacciones. El precio de Bitcoin cayó con la nueva incertidumbre que rodea estas acciones. Sin embargo, surgieron problemas de control cuando GHash.io, un grupo de minería de criptomonedas, superó el 51% de poder de hash por primera vez. Uno de los principios de Bitcoin es que el poder no se puede acumular en muy pocas manos, y la popularidad de GHash significaba que era posible que las monedas se gastasen dos veces o se falsificaran, y podrían impedir que otros mineros fueran recompensados ​​por su actividad. Afortunadamente para la industria de Bitcoin, las partes promulgaron voluntariamente disposiciones que redistribuyeron el poder de hash a límites aceptables y sostenibles. La primera transacción de Bitcoin en el mundo real ocurrió el 22 de mayo de 2010, una fecha conocida por los entusiastas de Bitcoin como Bitcoin Pizza Day. Laszlo Hanyecz pagó 10,000 BTC para que le entregaran dos pizzas Papa Johns. Las pizzas se venden al por menor por alrededor de $ 25. En el punto máximo del precio de Bitcoin en 2021, las dos pizzas habrían tenido un valor de 630 millones de dólares. Parte de la extrema volatilidad de Bitcoin proviene del Gartner Hype Cycle, un ciclo de vida común entre las tecnologías nuevas e innovadoras. Las cinco etapas incluyen: el desencadenante de la innovación, el pico de las expectativas infladas, el valle de la desilusión, la pendiente de la iluminación y, finalmente, la meseta de la productividad. Muchas personas crearon y luego perdieron grandes fortunas en Bitcoin, lo que provocó que ocho ganadores del Premio Nobel en ciencias económicas llamaran a Bitcoin una burbuja , muy similar a la tan citada manía de los tulipanes holandeses en el siglo XVII. Sin embargo, los partidarios de Bitcoin señalan que aunque Bitcoin se ha estrellado cinco veces, también ha vuelto a su precio anterior cada vez, mientras que otras burbujas no han recuperado su valor. #bitcoin #btc #crypto 🔴Disclaimer: este video y su contenido son solo para fines informativos y no constituyen una oferta de venta o intercambio, una solicitud de compra o recomendación de ningún valor, criptomoneda o producto relacionado, ni constituye una oferta para proporcionar inversión asesoramiento u otros servicios relacionados por parte de Crypto Mercados y Pymes.

Do you know how public and private keys are generated? Would you be able to verify a digital signature? If your answer to either of those questions is no, there's no need to feel embarrassed as you are not alone! For all the articles and opinion pieces on the internet about Bitcoin, there is still a distinct lack of understanding around how the technology actually works. Indeed, a YouGov survey from last year found that 98% of respondents didn't understand basic crypto concepts. This week Charles Miller has re-enlisted the help of Brendan Lee, Training and Development Manager of the BSV Bitcoin Association to help him get to the bottom of a few key concepts on this week's CoinGeek Conversations. When the two last spoke, back in February 2021, Brendan covered what really happens when a transaction is made on the Bitcoin network and how exactly coins move from one wallet to another. This time Charles wants to find out what a digital signature is and how it can be used to verify ownership of a Bitcoin address. First, they discuss public and private keys, with Brendan explaining that the two keys exist as a pair, with the private key generated first and the public key produced cryptographically from the private key.  The conversation then moves on to Bitcoin wallets, where an individual's private keys are stored. Brendan says that Electrum, a wallet software that has some additional features, is a good way to allow users to demonstrate their ownership of keys by using those keys to sign messages and create digital signatures.  Brendan explains that to prove ownership, a user needs to first pick an address and type in a custom message to generate a signature. Once this signature has been created, any other user can decode and verify the signed message provided they have the custom message, signature, and public key. While the technology might seem complicated, Brendan says that the mathematics used to generate signatures and verify keys were not anything new when Satoshi utilised them in Bitcoin software.  “He wasn't doing anything significantly new; he was just taking something that existed already, was well-tested, very proven, highly trusted as a technique and then applying it as a digital cash system,” he says. Charles and Brendan also do a practical demonstration on Electrum, showing how it can be used to prove ownership over a specific set of private keys. This is particularly interesting given the fact that this was how Dr. Craig Wright demonstrate his control of the Satoshi keys to Gavin Andresen in 2016.

欢迎各位收听 Traders' Talk 第 13 期。这一期我请来的是刘昌用老师，他将元宇宙分为了四个层次，由浅入深、层层递进地拆解了这个大词背后的含义和层次。总体而言，这期音频的内容是昌用老师结合区块链发展史和发起 Freecash 自由现金的切身心得体会，进而对元宇宙概念进行的层次拆解。区别于上一期，这期关注的是历史的发展脉络，而非底层的、具体的技术实现和原理探究，因此也比较适合对区块链历史感兴趣的朋友收听。【嘉宾介绍】刘昌用，北京大学经济学博士重庆工商大学区块链经济研究中心主任密码共识理论的创始人、密码经济的倡导者Freecash (FCH) 自由现金发起人【章节层次】一、总00:04:15 总括四个层次二、分00:08:30 层次一：影视技术推动的元宇宙00:16:46 层次二：去中心化金融推动的元宇宙01:14:00 层次三：构建信息社会新秩序的元宇宙02:07:50 层次四：信息视角重构人类历史的元宇宙三、总02:24:30 四个层次之间的关系加一个昌用老师对层次结构的补充：「这个讨论结构有个最大的问题，就是从逻辑上看，应该从层次三讲起——从物质经济到信息经济转型开始，从这里开始才能理解核心和主线，有了这个基础，最后才能解释各种误区。但我们选择从社会热度角度出发，安排了现在的结构，这会导致前两层次的理解缺乏逻辑支撑。讲前两部分的时候我也提到这个问题。」【Timeline】层次一：影视技术推动的元宇宙主要技术：VR、AR、运算、带宽、存储等应用场景：游戏、会议、电商（体验式远程购物）、社交、数字孪生（把原来工业生产和设计的场景搬到元宇宙）热点区域：Facebook (Meta)、国内互联网、工业 4.000:08:42 层次一是大众认知层面对元宇宙的理解，但容易误导层次二：去中心化金融带动的元宇宙00:19:21 比特币发明以来经过的三个阶段，基本每一个阶段都对应着一次大牛市：密码货币阶段（2009 年 - 2016 年）密码证券阶段（2017 年 - 2019 年）密码金融阶段（2020 年至今）00:27:35 对投机产生的泡沫的看法——是任何一次技术、制度创新必然产生的现象00:33:51 每次牛市泡沫都是由真正的创新所推动，但发展到后面都伴随着巨大的泡沫00:37:20 DEX 和 Crypto 金融衍生品这些金融领域的创新增强了投机性和价格波动性00:44:31 比特币扩容之争始末00:53:19 扩容之争暴露了比特币的治理问题00:53:51 自由现金 Freecash 的提出旨在解决比特币的治理问题00:59:11 密码共识（区块链）的核心：非对称密码和分布式共识01:12:05 比特币不是一个重大的技术进步，而是重大的制度创新层次三：构建信息社会新秩序的元宇宙01:15:30 思考到第三个层次的契机01:18:13 使用公钥 / 密码身份 (CID) 作为去中心化身份01:22:11 解决了身份问题后，该如何解决信用问题？使用币天（UTXO 模型）01:25:18 去中心化社交：在链上记录自己的好友信息01:26:38 Freecash 是一个 DAO 吗？它的目标是什么呢？01:29:11 近几年互联网的问题——信息的安全和信息的垄断01:35:54 去中心化的社会组织可以重构互联网的经济模型01:36:27 对层次三的总结01:40:46 信息经济的几个阶段01:43:08 密码经济的核心是用非对称密码和分布式共识来构建信息社会的秩序01:49:16 哈耶克的社会演进理论01:51:51 为什么说这个层次可以称为真正的元宇宙？01:53:07 Freecash 的盈利和分配模式02:04:22 如果希望共同 build 这件事，该如何参与呢？层次四：信息视角重构人类史观的元宇宙02:08:46 信息史观的货币史02:13:18 信息史观的社会身份系统演进02:16:55 信息史观与教育科学系统02:22:39 层次四的总结总结02:24:29 四个层次之间的关系02:35:36 回归理性，我们对待元宇宙的态度应该是怎样的？【名词解释】（一）人物1. 中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto)：比特币创始人，真实身份至今未知。他于2008年发表了一篇名为《比特币：一种点对点式的电子现金系统》（Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System）的论文，描述了一种被他称为“比特币”的电子货币及其算法。2.

Location: Remotely Date: Wednesday 21st April Company: Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine Role: Editor Ten years ago, in April 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto sent his last known message to Mike Hearn, stating that he had "moved on to other things" and that Bitcoin was "in good hands". Satoshi left the development with Gavin Andresen and a group of contributors and left the Bitcoin community for good.  At launch, Bitcoin was governed and developed entirely by Satoshi; it was centralised. To reach the level of decentralisation that Satoshi envisioned, Bitcoin couldn't have a leader that the community looked towards; instead, it needed to rely on peer review, debate and consensus. Satoshi, the mythical and mysterious leader, had to leave the project he founded. Pete Rizzo wrote The Last Days of Satoshi to answer the fundamental questions about Bitcoin's early history and its creator. How did he run the project? And why did he have to leave? In this episode, I talk to Pete Rizzo, the Editor at Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine. We discuss Satoshi's final days, his contribution to Bitcoin, the project's transition to decentralisation, and why his disappearance was inevitable.

Entender el debate de la escalabilida de Bitcoin es entender cuáles son los actores de Bitcoin, qué les mueve y sobretodo conocer los intereses reales de muchos de sus participantes: ¿Por qué a alguien como Gavin Andresen que fue el substituto de Satoshi y que sigue siendo el noveno máximo colaborador de código de Bitcoin en github se le hace tanta mofa?¿Qué es el acuerdo de nueva york y por qué se apunta con el dedo a los que lo firmaron?¿Por qué segwit2x es malo si en teoria segwit es bueno, no?¿Bitcoin XT o Bitcoin Classic? Existe eso? Y más importante todavía ¿Qué es eso de las siglas UASF que veo en numerosas gorras de bitcoiners? Todo esto queda contestado en este podcast por capítulos con Juan Galt

“The legacy of our civilization is a state based on a hierarchical system of control and specialization of labor, which leads to all of the modern problems we have. To create a different kind of society, that's free, where people have liberty and natural wealth, the emerging field of cryptography offers us power." -Amir Taaki With markets around the world plunging into a downward spiral, now is a great time to revisit the original reasons why people started working on Bitcoin. Amir Taaki was one of Bitcoin’s first-ever dedicated developers and perhaps the one most infamously focused on maintaining privacy and freedom from authority.  In 2014, Taaki created Dark Wallet, the first privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet to include a CoinJoin mixer. That same year, he received even more notoriety as Dark Wallet was twice named in the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) report on the potential money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks posed by cryptocurrencies.  In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Taaki, who after years spent working with the Syrian Democratic Forces fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and helping build their society, is now contributing to multiple cryptocurrency and privacy projects not yet revealed to the public. Taaki takes a critical, perhaps unwarranted, view on the Bitcoin movement of today, but he also has a valuable perspective on many of the topics covered. Topics: What Bitcoiners can learn from the Free Software movement How Bitcoin has changed between 2014 and today, and why Taaki believes the ecosystem needs to create a new narrative. The pros and cons of American startup culture on Bitcoin's development How Taaki' opposing views of Bitcoin led to conflict with Gavin Andresen, and later the creation of the BIP system. How Taaki believes the Bitcoin of today is not radical enough The limits of mesh networks at a large scale Why Bitcoin needs a stronger narrative to defend against co-option by larger corporate and state entities. What Bitcoiners can learn from Taaki's experience helping build an autonomous free society in Syria The narrative the Bitcoin ecosystem needs to adopt according to Taaki Nym, the Barcelona hacker academy and Taaki's other unpublicized projects The similarities and limits of comparing Bitcoin to religion.

Nearing the ripe age of 50, Gavin Andresen graces us with an appearance as an expert on Bitcoin. He has worked on the project in some way or other since 2010 and is still one of its best-known figures. So we are in good company. One of his first public podcast chats since publicly backing Craig Wright (we don't need to get into that, do we?), we ask him the hard hitting questions and get some answers!

Hello, welcome to episode 34 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell, and my guest is Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd. Peter was really open in this interview, and we talked about everything from his relationship with Gavin Andresen, to mistakes he made in his early days working with Bitcoin Core, and a dozen topics in between. A lot of Peter's focus was on explaining what he feels are the differences between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Classic, and why he believes Core is the path to follow at this juncture. Additionally, we touch on Peter's Coinbase double-spend, perceived issues with Replace By Fee, and private blockchains.

When computer scientist Andreas Antonopoulos first heard about bitcoin in 2011 he dismissed it as “nerd money.” Six months later he happened on bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s now-legendary white paper from November 2008. This nine-page, innocent-looking document was a blueprint for replacing large swaths of the financial services industry with a globally-distributed encryption-based transaction network that wasn’t owned by anyone.  Nakamoto’s white paper blew Antonopoulos’ mind. “This isn’t money,” he realized, “it’s a decentralized trust network,” with applications extending far beyond digital currency. Antonopoulos says he became “obsessed and enthralled” with bitcoin, “spending 12 or more hours each day glued to a screen, reading, writing, coding, and learning” as much as he could. He wrote, “I emerged from the state of fugue, more than 20 pounds lighter from a lack of consistent meals, determined to dedicate myself to working on bitcoin.” Five years later, Antonopoulos’ work has paid off. The 43-year-old entrepreneur is one of the most respected experts in bitcoin and blockchain technology, and he regularly shares his expertise with businesses and organizations around the world. His 2014 book, Mastering Bitcoin, was called the “best technical reference available on bitcoin today,” by Balaji Srinivasan, the CEO of 21.co, and received high praise from Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist of the Bitcoin Foundation. In January 2016, Institute for the Future launched Blockchain Futures Lab, a research initiative and a community for “identifying the opportunities and limits of blockchain technologies and their social, economic, and political impacts on individuals, organizations, and communities over the coming decades.” I interviewed Antonopoulos to get his thoughts on the current state of blockchain technology and where it’s headed. What he had to say was surprising and enlightening.

When computer scientist Andreas Antonopoulos first heard about bitcoin in 2011 he dismissed it as “nerd money.” Six months later he happened on bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s now-legendary white paper written in November 2008. This nine-page, dryly-written document unrolled a blueprint for a system that would replace large swaths of the financial services industry with a globally-distributed encryption-based transaction network that wasn’t owned by anyone. After reading the white paper, Antonopoulos’ mind was blown. “This isn’t money,” he realized, “it’s a decentralized trust network,” with applications extending far beyond digital currency.

Dr. Adam Back and Gavin Andresen discuss the need for professional dialog and a block size increase.

As the debate about forks, the blocksize and decision making in Bitcoin continues, we are joined by Adam Back. Adam is best known for his invention hash-cash which became one of the fundamental building blocks of Bitcoin. He is also the inventor of the sidechains concept and founder and president of Blockstream, the single biggest employer of Bitcoin core developers. With Adam we talked about the different blocksize proposals and how a decentralized cryptocurrency should be governed in general. He is an influential conservative voice in the current debate and has been warning that a rapid increase of the blocksize could undermine the decentralization of Bitcoin. Topics covered in this episode: Adam’s concerns with Bitcoin XT and the approach by Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn Why Adam favors a slower blocksize increase to preserve decentralization How Bitcoin will function as a settlement network in the medium-term with the bulk of transactions going through the Lightning Network or sidechains Why forks are in Bitcoin are different from forks in other open source projects The upcoming Scaling Bitcoin workshop in Montreal Episode links: Scaling Bitcoin Montreal Event Blockstream Gavin Andresen's BIP 101 Jeff Garzik's BIP 100 Adam Back's blocksize proposal List of different blocksize proposals This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

As the debate about the blocksize continues to roar through the Bitcoin community, Gavin Andresen joins us to take a step back and ask the big questions: How should these decisions be made in the first place? What does the governance of Bitcoin look like now and what do we want it to look like in the future? In a challenging time for Bitcoin, it’s a critical discussion to have with the Chief Scientist of the Bitcoin Foundation and successor of Satoshi. We cover everything from the current blocksize debate to the nature of forks to how decisions will be made in Bitcoin XT. Topics covered in this episode: MIT Digital Currency Initiative The way Gavin thinks about Bitcoin How were decisions made throughout Bitcoin’s history What the Nakamoto/market consensus is Forking the software vs a fork of the blockchain Who should make decisions in Bitcoin and how the interest of different stakeholders should be reconciled Why the desirable state is to move towards many different implementations How decisions will be made for the Bitcoin XT code base Episode links: Eli Durado: How should Bitcoin be governed? Arvind Narayanan: Bitcoin faces a crossroads, needs an effective decision-making process Matt Asay: Why you should fork your next open-source project Robles & Gonzalez-Barahona, A comprehensive study of software forks Chinese Mining Pools Call for Consensus; Refuse Switch to Bitcoin XT Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies - Chapter 7: Community, Politics, and Regulation BIP 100 Proposal This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

This is episode 86 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast!This week's show is all about BitcoinXT, a Bitcoin fork proposed by Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn. We'll chat about why the blocksize debate has been so wild, the cultural differences between security engineers and software engineers, the fairness of the blockchain's dispute resolution mechanisms, and tons more.We'll use the following articles as a starting point for our discussion:- Forking hell: A spat exposes unwieldy governance at the digital currency- Bitcoin's Block Size Debate Tests Its Community Governance- Block Size: Bitcoin Does Not Scale EffectivelyWe should also mention in these shownotes that some possibly malicious code has been discovered in BitcoinXT. Unfortunately, that news did not come to our attention before we recorded this show, so we encourage you to read about it in this article (http://shitco.in/2015/08/19/the-bitcoin-xt-trojan/).Your hosts this week are Daniel Brown and John Stuart. Enjoy!Leave a comment and tell us if you think the blockchain is designed to handle disputes well!!We'd also like to thank this episode's sponsors, LuckyBit and BitcoinTalk.club.

This week, we’ll be hearing from a panel of writers and innovators on the often talked about, but rarely understood, Bitcoin. New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper, whose book “Digital Gold” tells the story of this trail-blazing virtual currency, will be joined on stage by Gavin Andresen, the programmer who has been leading the Bitcoin project since 2010, and Fred Wilson, one of the biggest venture capitalists backing the project. In a conversation moderated by New York Times columnist and CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin, this group of powerful thinkers discusses virtual currency and the future of money in the digital age.

Whether the block size should be increased to 20MB has created more controversy than any other question in Bitcoin’s recent history. For some, it is an urgent and necessary step in Bitcoin’s evolution. Their view is that leaving the block size at 1MB would be irresponsible inaction with potentially catastrophic consequences. Others see increasing the block size as unnecessary and a dangerous first step down a slippery slope towards a more centralized Bitcoin. We were joined by Mike Hearn, along with Gavin Andresen the most outspoken supporter of a block size increase. He is also the creator of Bitcoin XT, a modified fork of Bitcoin Core, that may become the vehicle for the push for bigger blocks if no agreement is reached regarding Bitcoin Core. Don’t miss this crucial conversation! Topics covered in this episode: What would happen if blocks started being consistently full Whether bigger blocks create a centralization risk Why Bitcoin core development has become pervaded with toxic division What Bitcoin XT is and how it differs from Bitcoin Core The roadmap ahead and how a transition to BitcoinXT would occur Update on Lighthouse Episode links: The Capacity Cliff Crash Landing Let's Talk Bitcoin! #217 The Bitcoin Block Size Discussion Gavin Andresen Moves Ahead with Push for Bigger Blocks Bitcoin Dev Mailing List Lighthouse This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

This episode covers Bitcoin, a digital, decentralized currency. In our conversation with Gavin Andresen, the technical lead of the project, we cover basic economics of money, the way users interact with Bitcoin, as well as the technical implementation of the system. Bitcoin uses a couple of clever ideas about implementing distributed clocks and global ordering, and is a very nice example of applied cryptography.
