Well, the results of the 2024 Presidential election are in… well, maybe. We really don't know because we recorded this episode on Election Day.  So all we can do is prognosticate and amuse ourselves with our thoughts.  So today we welcome back a pioneer of Bitcoin development, Jeff Garzik, to the show to NOT discuss politics… well, not much.  A previous guest for the Republic of Bad Cryptopia, Jeff corresponded with Satoshi Nakamoto for development.  He's got a lot to say about how far Bitcoin has come and where it is headed.

After working with Satoshi in the early years, and almost 15 years of crypto experience, legend Jeff Garzik shares his story in this exclusive interview. Recently, we did an educational deep dive into several teams working on extending Bitcoin with innovative mechanism designs and Bitcoin L2s on Bitcoin and Beyond. This conversation is a phenomenal next episode in that series. Today, Hemi is attempting to unify Bitcoin and Ethereum. A Bitcoin L2 with customizations to more deeply integrate the top two blockchain ecosystems; Hemi is based on two core innovations: the hVM incorporates new byte codes into the EVM that talk directly to Bitcoin, and Proof of Proof (PoP) consensus which allows Hemi to achieve "superfinality" on Bitcoin. The Bitcoin and Ethereum communities have long been at odds debating the true purpose of cryptocurrency, and best design principles to bring about mass adoption. Jeff calls Bitcoin the "root of the crypto tree" and Ethereum "the grand central station of crypto". With Hemi technology, its possible to unite the two blockchains and maybe the two communities once and for all. Website: https://therollup.co/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd..

My guest today is Ryan Condron, CEO and Co-Founder of Titan. Titan is a leading developer of software and services for advancing Bitcoin mining at scale. Built by miners for miners, Titan makes mining easy, profitable, and scalable through advanced mining management software and North America's first enterprise-grade mining pool. Titan was formed and founded in September 2018 by Ryan Condron, Jeff Garzik and Matthew Roszak. Most mining management software options are either incomplete or difficult to scale. The Titan software makes management and optimization easy for cryptocurrency mines of any size. Titan's Next Generation Mining Pool offers a powerful North American alternative and a way for the continent's Bitcoin miners to achieve the efficiency and scale enjoyed by miners in other regions. Ryan is an OG, he was introduced to the crypto space in late 2012 and quickly got plugged into the mining community. Some of his early contributions include helping to launch the profitability calculator site Coinwarz.com in early 2013. He went on to launch several other high profile projects in the space throughout 2013 and 2014 including a hardware comparison site, a cloud mining service, and a customize-able profit switching platform with 80 different alt-coin mining pools. In 2017 he joined the company Bloq as a principal engineer and in late 2018 co-founded a new mining software startup inside Bloq Labs called Titan Industries. He has been a software engineer for over 15 years and was a CTO at multiple software startups, and ran his own software company for over 5 years. In our discussion we cover the evolution of the mining space, Titan, Coinwarz and the early days of Bitcoin mining, and much more. We do a deep dive into how the mining space has evolved and Ryan's personal experience being an early minner. We also discuss how Satoshi would view the current state of the mining industry. Ryan explains Titan and how they are democratizing mining/hashpower.  ParaSwap: If you want to make a swap at the best price across the DeFi market, check out https://untoldstories.link/paraswap.

Giving Away Bitcoin

Giving Away Bitcoin with Jeff Garzik Every now and then someone tells us that we are OGs of crypto. We have to remind them that while we have been in the space for four years, we’re relatively green compared to the real OGs. Take, for example, Jeff Garzik.  One of the earliest contributors to Bitcoin, Jeff once gave away over 15,000 Bitcoin for developer bounties. And while he isn’t handing out Bitcoin today, he is dropping stories and knowledge for the past, present and future of the daddy of all cryptocurrencies.  Jeff joins us today for an interesting and entertaining walk down memory lane, and we’ve got a free NFT giveaway for listeners to commemorate this episode.

In today’s episode I talk with Jeff Garzik, the Bitcoin core developer turned DeFi builder. Jeff comes from leading Bloq, a blockchain infrastructure company focusing on enterprises. As much as decentralized finance is exciting and groundbreaking, he believes its lacking professionalism. Jeff believes DeFi needs to be easy for retail users and for institutional users, not just for crypto natives. With that goal in mind, Bloq is launching Vesper, a decentralized protocol for users to gain passive interest on their crypto. The innovation relative to other yield bouncers, is that users can pick a risk level and the protocol will invest in different strategies accordingly. It both competes with, and uses Yearn Finance. We also talked about what’s next for DeFi, and how he believes the space will trend towards “hybrid finance,” where traditional finance will progressively adopt this infrastructure to become more open and global.

The multibillion dollar sector could go hand in hand with blockchain technology's immutability and transparency says SpaceChain's Jeff Garzik.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. The crypto market is generally in the green this morning. Bitcoin (BTC) is facing resistance at $4,000 before it can continue to rally. Dubai has installed its first Bitcoin (BTC) ATM, which is another win for global Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency adoption. There are now 4,430 cryptocurrency ATMs worldwide. In other adoption news, Switzerland’s biggest online retailer has begun accepting cryptocurrency. Learn about Japan’s new regulations for cryptocurrency exchanges that offer leveraged trading. We discuss how Jeff Garzik has been subpoenaed by federal court to provide information about Satoshi and other early Bitcoiners. This is in relation to the Craig Wright versus the estate of Dave Kleiman lawsuit over 1.1 million Bitcoins (BTC). This subpoena suggests that the federal court is using this case in order to acquire critical early information about Satoshi and Bitcoin (BTC), which may be an abuse of power. That being said, this case may reveal previously unknown information about the early days of Bitcoin (BTC), and is perhaps the most important case to watch in the crypto space.

On this edition of the BitcoinNews.com Daily Podcast we discuss how Iran is ready to deploy its national cryptocurrency as sanctions take full effect, and how Jeff Garzik donated 15,000+ Bitcoins to fund the development of Bitcoin back in the day. Hear about how Thanksgiving turkeys will be tracked with the blockchain, and how Malaysia will use the blockchain to issue university degrees. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bitcoinnewscom/support

This week we're honored to catch up with some great guests at 2 fantastic crypto events. At Denver Startup Week we catch up with Erik Voorhees of Shapeshift, Keepkey and a long list of other key projects that helped get crypto off the ground. Also at Denver Startup Caleb Slade Co-Founder of Salt Lending shares what's on the horizon for Salt and Denver in the Blockchain space. In Phoenix at the Nexus Earth Conference 2 great guests' in Jeff Garzik and Steve Beauregard both of whom are part of BLOQ and SpaceChain. Jeff being well known for his contributions to the Bitcoin source code and Steve as a visionary entrepreneur both give great insight about the bright future of this industry.

We’re joined by Jeff Garzik, who was among the very first developers to work with Satoshi in the early days of Bitcoin. Later, he was a core developer at Bitpay and even tried to put a Bitcoin node on a satellite in space. Today, he is co-founder at Bloq, a company providing enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure. Bloq recently announced a new project called Metronome that challenges some of the design and governance principles of many public blockchain networks. Metronome is cryptocurrency that sits on top of existing blockchains and aims to allow tokens to easily move from one network to the other. A series of standard blockchain contracts allow for daily descending price auctions to occur automatically, and for users to buy and sell the tokens using a Bancor-like system with built-in liquidity. Topics covered in this episode: Jeff’s background as a web developer at CNN and as a Linux developer His early days in Bitcoin working with Satoshi His thoughts on Bitcoin governance and lessons learned from the Segwit2X episode The lessons learned from founding Bloq What is Metronome and what problem does it aim to solve Metronome’s self-governance and how the system is meant to evolve The different smart contracts which make up Metronome How Metronome allows MTN tokens to move to different blockchains The economics of the protocol and the descending price auction system The upcoming Metronome token sale and development roadmap Episode links: Metronome: The Built-to-Last Cryptocurrency Metronome Owner's Manual Metronome FAQ Metronome Git Repo DSS - Dunvegan Space Systems, Inc The Long Now Foundation Bloq This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

Jeff Garzik has a long background in the technology field, and was deep into cloud computing and distributed technologies when he discovered Bitcoin in 2010. Though he was initially skeptical, he has since seen the all the new things that are possible with blockchain technology. He is the current head of Bloq, which provides enterprise blockchain solutions to companies around the world. They are currently working with SpaceChain Foundation to put a blockchain node in space, which will allow for multi-tenant platforms to be run on satellites. They are also working on a decentralized cryptocurrency called Metronome, a self-governing cryptocurrency that does not hold any keys. Another project that he is excited about is working with local autonomous AIs that help reduce pollution and increase energy efficiency by rewarding actions that benefit the local community and the region as a whole. Jeff also discusses who he thinks Satoshi Nakamoto is, and his thoughts on the unique position that he holds in the cryptocurrency and blockchain spaces. For more information, visit www.bloq.com.

The scale and pace of innovation in Australia and Indonesia often clashes with regulation. Healthy competition can be beneficial to the ecosystem but growth can also pose a risk to consumers if not regulated properly. Jeff Garzik - one of Bitcoin’s most respected developers - said, rigid regulation will only be a “catalyst for change that creates a new different world.” In this episode, Jared Heath & Aditya Tumakaka, who have experience working as lawyers in both Australia and Indonesia, talking about striking the right balance between innovation and regulation. Jared is a Partner at Corrs Chambers Westgarth with a wealth of government advisory experience. Adit is a corporate lawyer and Juris Doctor graduate from University of Melbourne. Jared and Adit are CAUSINDY 2014 delegates.

Please take the Unchained podcast survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/unchained The bitcoin community is mired in a civil war. In this episode of the Unchained podcast, supporters of opposing sides -- former Bitcoin Core developer Jeff Garzik and Litecoin creator Charlie Lee -- explain why nuclear options are on the table. The discussion touches on whether high transaction fees are bad for the network or a necessary evil, which would be considered the "true" bitcoin if the currency split in two, and whether the cryptocurrency is already centralized, or controlled by a few. We also discuss why bitcoin can't just look at the playbook of other open source projects to get past this stalemate. And they give advice to current bitcoin owners wondering whether to sell or hold through this bitcoin game of chicken.

Hello, welcome to episode 26 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. Back some months ago, Los Angeles had its first Bitcoin conference called The State Of Digital Money. Jeff Garzik (Bitcoin Core Developer for BitPay and CEO of Dunvegan Space Systems) was the featured speaker, and he gave a presentation called The Future of Bitcoin. I originally believed the presentation needed the accompanying visual slides, but after giving the audio of Jeff's presentation a fresh listen, I realized the audio is really good on its own. I even found it refreshing to hear a core developer speak on a variety of Bitcoin topics, without having to weigh in on the current contentious block size debate. So relax and enjoy this presentation by Jeff Garzik.

Hello, welcome to episode 22 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In today's podcast you'll hear the Blockchain Tech panel from the State Of Digital Money conference, which took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. I thought it was a very fun panel that was filled with many insights. You might say the panel was stacked a bit on the side of blockchain tech over Bitcoin, and Bitcoin maximalists (amongst others) may not agree with some of the points made. But hopefully everyone can still appreciate hearing ideas and discussion from very bright people in the field. Some interesting tidbits: It's Jeff Garzik you'll hear yell “not true” from his seat in the audience, and Connie Gallippi also speaks from the crowd. I was surprised to learn the source of inspiration for Medici (the blockchain-based stock exchange being pioneered by Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne). On the panel, you'll hear (in order of appearance): Moderator: Alex Rozman Senior Manager in the Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP @rozman7 Craig Sellars Co-Founder and CTO for Tether @Tether_to Eric Benz VP of Payments at BitReserve @EricBenz84 Judd Bagley Director of Communications at Overstock.com @WriterJudd Alyse Killeen Associate Venture Capital Investor at March Capital Partners @AlyseKilleen MAGIC WORD Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim a share of this week's distribution of LTBcoin.
