Originally recorded March 9th.This week Kurt Wuckert Jr. is joined by Ryan X. Charles the founder of Yours.org, MoneyButton, and now Coasian. To explain intricate details of Bitcoin, the state of scaling, and the opportunities Bitcoin SV has over Ethereum.

Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer node design solves security problems, Dr Craig Wright explained. Even if more than half the nodes are compromised - which would be hard -, the network can still be recovered: “if there's a single uncompromised node, it provides a legal evidence trail. So when people say ‘a 51 percent attack’, it's actually more resilient than even that. If you have one percent of the network providing actual valid information and not the attack, you now have a legally verifiable evidence trail that can be rebuilt.”In a wide-ranging interview in front of an audience of developers and entrepreneurs at the Cambrian SV event in Lisbon in February, Dr Wright, Chief Scientist of the London blockchain and Bitcoin research company nChain, was talking about the fundamentals of Bitcoin - his creation as Satoshi Nakamoto, back in 2009. He was in conversation with Ryan X. Charles, the founder of Money Button, who wanted to learn more about Dr Wright’s thinking when he created Bitcoin.Dr Wright said that unlike security attacks on Windows or Linux, where the discovery of a single vulnerability can cause widespread problems, the development of a network of mining farms for Bitcoin SV means that an attempted attack would be the equivalent of “having to attack multiple companies with multiple different security policies, multiple implementations. And that’s far more difficult”.And as the BSV ecosystem develops, its distributed nodes will become increasingly differentiated, making it even more secure: “in the future, I see the one [BSV] protocol, but I see individual mining farms will start developing their own software. Some of this already happens and it will be a more effective and efficient version for them ...and that will make it more and more complex for anyone attempting to attack the network.”What’s more, the incentive design behind the node system means that its size self-regulates as individual nodes join or leave: “if you have, say, 100 distributed global nodes in big companies and data centres ...imagine what happens if something happens to one of the nodes - they're suddenly taken out in a disaster or hacker attack or something like this ...The profitability remains the same overall. So those other remaining nodes earn more. And this is the wonder of economics. So people see profit and once profit is distributed and noticed and seen, then other people will go, ‘oh, it's time to turn on my node’ ...And the network will self-heal because people will will see the money and see the suddenly increased profit margin from mining this area and will have idle machines that they turn on.”After discussing the security design of Bitcoin, Dr Wright went on to explain how, in contrast, private blockchains fall far short of what he had built with Bitcoin: “a private blockchain is an anathema. It's anti security ...It just means you've massively misunderstood the entire technology and have just used jargon to make up some junk because the entire security of the system is [based on] publishing widely.”

There are more problems that Bitcoin could solve than Craig Wright, nChain’s Chief Scientist, can ever deal with: “I have an infinite amount of things that I would happily have people doing. I just don't have the resources to have an infinite number of people working for me. But the reality is there are so many different problems.”Dr Wright was answering questions from the audience at the Cambrian SV developers conference in Lisbon in February, in a session chaired by Money Button’s CEO, Ryan X. Charles. He criticised some of the big companies backed by Silicon Valley investors, such as Uber and WeWork - the latter for its self-image as a tech company at all (“I mean, 'we're a technology company because we put sensors on the doors'. I mean, really?) Some tech companies pick non-problems, he said: “problems that are being created so that they can raise money. And what you should be doing is problems that are real problems - and the world is full of them.” For Craig, there’s too much emphasis on winning venture capital: “ignore the Silicon Valley idea of you just raise money. What you really need to do is find a way of making something profitable.”As to where he was putting his own research efforts, in answer to a question about the use of blockchain to design secure voting systems, Craig talked about ways of establishing pseudonymous identities and did admit that “there are some areas that I'm working on at the moment doing all these things. So I know a little bit about it. But because I'm a nasty person who patents everything, I'm not going to actually tell you all the solutions we've got until they're ready.”Getting down to the basics about the way he, as Satoshi Nakamoto, had designed Bitcoin, Craig talked about SPV - Simple Payment Verification -, the system that allows transactions between Bitcoin users to be made directly, peer to peer, as set out in the original White Paper. Whilst blockchain nodes record every transaction on every block, that’s not practical for every user: the system wouldn’t scale if that was required. Instead, the individual user has “a lightweight client that doesn't have the full node, doesn't keep all the blocks, just maintains block headers and its own information. So it scales a lot better because rather than having to have petabytes of information for every phone in the future, then all you need is the block information, because the reality is that you don't need to or want to validate every single transaction on earth.” Originally, this kind of peer to peer transaction was thought of in terms of IP to IP address, but Craig said there are other systems that could also be used. He mentioned, as an example, a distributed Bluetooth network called Bridgefy, which he said could be useful if a government was trying to close down the Internet: “what do you do? You just turn on Bridgefy and you hop between phones. And you end up with a wide distributed peer network and SPV could be built on something like that as well. So I said IP to IP, but I'd like to see Bridgefy. And I'd like to see all these other protocols as well.”Craig explained that it wasn’t just financial transactions that could use such a network. Messages could also be attached to transactions and “no one on chain will ever know. So we can privately maintain information as well as publicly exchanging.”

Today, when people ask “how are you doing?”, they expect an answer. The question is now more than just a polite alternative to clearing your throat before the conversation begins. And everyone’s answer is different. At best, you may find yourself in a physically cut-off world, except from those you live with - who you may be getting to know even better than you thought possible. But you may also be more in touch with long-lost friends and family members around the world, just to ask them “how are you doing?”.This week and next, CoinGeek Conversations is putting that question to some of our friends near and far, starting with Ryan X. Charles, the founder and CEO of Money Button in California, and Lise Li, China Manager of the Bitcoin Association, in Beijing. Podcast host Charles Miller is joined by CoinGeek’s new producer Natalie Mason, to compare their calls to Ryan and Lise. Ryan spoke to us from San Francisco. Having been under lockdown for a month, California being the first state government to enforce restrictions of movement, he talks about the effect that has had in comparison with other states and what permanent shifts may happen to the world of work.Looking at the long-term implications worldwide, Ryan shared his view on the importance of regular testing and authentication to combat future pandemics. To be able to open up global travel again, he says, “we’re going to need to know if you’ve had a virus or not. This will not be the last pandemic and we need global infrastructure to be prepared for the next one”. How may this look in the future? “Your ID card may end up telling you whether you have been tested for and whether you have or have had viruses in the past.”From Beijing, Lise provides a note of optimism since the city, and indeed the whole of China, is gradually easing the virus lockdown, although ordinary life is still far from normal: “if you want to dine in a restaurant, at every table there should be no more than two people,” Lise says. And the tables themselves need to be separated by two metres. Lise is still only leaving home if there’s something she has to do. Nothing is back to how it was but “it’s much better than it was one or two months ago”.

The recent Cambrian SV Bootcamp in Lisbon brought together about 30 developers and entrepreneurs from around the world. As well as writing code to make their businesses more interoperable, there was time for wider discussion, some of which took place in two debates where issues were aired in front of the rest of the attendees.The first of those debates makes up this week’s CoinGeek Conversations podcast. It’s between Ryan X. Charles of Money Button and Jimmy Odom of Bittboard (right and left, above). Their subject: how different are Bitcoin businesses from any other kind?For Jimmy, Bitcoin businesses are different because of their being able to link data and money: “I think that this is the first time that we've had the ability in human history to truly associate the value of information. Before, there would always be guardrails or gatekeepers or intermediaries who would assign the value of information. But Bitcoin being the open protocol that it is, gives not only the ability to assign that value, but to evenly distribute the information behind the assigning of that value.”Ryan was less inclined to see Bitcoin businesses as fundamentally different because “it's actually the same rules of business and the same rules of economics that it's always been”. He warned that where Bitcoin entrepreneurs (or those in the wider crypto sector) had seen themselves as outside of the ordinary rules of business, it had resulted in dodgy ICOs and scams and that “some of those people have actually gone to prison”.Although the tech giants have come in for plenty of criticism from the crypto world and elsewhere, Ryan said that “although I think that Google and Facebook has done a lot of things wrong, a lot of businesses in crypto have done things way worse than Google and Facebook, at least on a smaller scale.”For Jimmy, “neither Google nor Facebook were ever propositioning themselves as moral standard bearers”. Ryan saw the basic problem as being that they “sort of slyly cover up some of the things that they're doing ...I think they don't quite get the morality right. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that they can continue with business models that are ultimately, I think - I hate to be extreme - but I think will ultimately fail. They can't just sell other people's private data and have that be the way things work forever”.Jimmy sees Bitcoin as more like a natural phenomenon than an ingenious piece of technology, describing it as “this really fascinating discovery - because I don't think it was invented”. The morality that Bitcoin promotes through the way it works relates to his strong Christian faith, with Bitcoin and Christian morality in sync and relating to “the higher power”. More than once in the debate, Ryan said that he wanted to “both agree and disagree” with Jimmy’s view, but he went along with the idea that Bitcoin promotes better behaviour by businesses: “I think it actually does encourage a better morality because companies basically have to be more transparent and accountable than they used to be. So it encourages the right thing.”

This audio is a recording of Ryan X Charles from the unwritten meetup in New York City at The Farm coworking and event space in SOHO. He talks about MoneyButton, BSV (of course), and much more. I've attempted to edit out other folks voices as I really only have permission from Ryan to use his, this means a lot of questions asked by the audience are missing as well as some commentary but hopefully you are able to parse together the intent.

Zach Resnick, Jack Laskey, & Dave Mullen-Muhr featured on Money Button Invited Speaker Series, discussing with Ryan X. Charles how Unbounded Capital transitioned from a broader investment thesis to investing solely in the Bitcoin (BSV) ecosystem, as well their thoughts on building a Bitcoin business. Unbounded Capital's Thesis: The Bitcoin (BSV) network and it’s metanet protocol are poised to be the foundation of the internet of value. BSV as an asset has asymmetric upside and the network has spurred an explosion of entrepreneurial creativity. Unbounded Capital matches deep understanding of Bitcoin with extensive VC and entrepreneurial experience to help build the Bitcoin economy through identifying, funding, and then guiding the best Bitcoin-native businesses.The materials provided are for information only and do not constitute as an offer.

For the third episode of Unbounded Conversations Jack & Dave are joined by Ryan X. Charles to discuss Money Button & entrepreneurship in the Bitcoin space. Ryan is the founder & CEO of Money Button, a BSV payments button that you can easily copy & paste onto websites and apps. The Unbounded Conversations video series features discussions between Unbounded Managing Partner Zach Resnick, Principals Dave Mullen-Muhr & Jack Laskey, & various guests building businesses on Bitcoin. In this series they discuss the possibilities of what Bitcoin can accomplish at scale, the metanet (the internet on Bitcoin), & how the businesses being built on top of Bitcoin will proliferate. https://www.unboundedcapital.comUnbounded Capital's Thesis: The Bitcoin (BSV) network and it’s metanet protocol are poised to be the foundation of the internet of value.

The nature of Bitcoin makes the startup business more efficient than for other tech areas, because much of the work has already been done, says Ryan X. Charles, founder of Money Button. “Why are we able to move so quickly with such a small number of people? Because we understand what Bitcoin offers us ...The magic is Bitcoin: that’s what’s actually doing all these things. So with fewer people and less money, we can go further.”Money Button has only two other staff besides Ryan. Both are located in Argentina, while Ryan is in the States. Ryan believes the prospects for BitcoinSV (BSV) are being seriously underestimated: “we’re the only ecosystem that’s building really functional apps right now. We’re radically more healthy than most people understand.” Alongside Money Button are plenty of businesses being built on BSV: “look at all these little projects. They’re really little, but they’re little seedlings that are doing everything right. They’re creating real products and real little businesses. They’re going to grow up. That’s the reality.”In this podcast, Ryan also talks about Paymail, a new Money Button product that was launched at the CoinGeek conference in Toronto, where this conversation was recorded.

Ryan X. Charles, the creator of Moneybutton and Yours.org, is something of a cryptocurrency veteran after five years in the industry. Now, a decade after Bitcoin was released, and after last year's 'hash war', he says he's looking forward to "really radical adoption" of crypto during the next decade: “We’re going to go from the toy phase and the experiment phase and the learning phase into the reality phase - of actually applying this technology for real problems and real businesses and real customers in the real world.” To help that along, he has launched Moneybutton, a micropayments app that aims to make paying and earning small rewards as simple as hitting the Facebook 'Like' button. In this conversation, Charles discusses his work on making onboarding new users to crypto easier and his ideas for how Moneybutton and other apps could enable whole new business models - in which everyone will be compensated for the talents and creativity they display online.

The show takes place in Hong Kong after Ryan X. Charles  and Roger have both finished presenting at the Coin Geek Conference.In this episode they discuss purse.io - bcash implementation, the bitcoin pizza anniversary, yours.org and the launch of the money button. They also discuss the bitcoin cash upgrade and what the op codes mean for the network and the continual failure of the lightning network and much more.

I am joined again by Ryan Charles to discuss the current state of the Bitcoin Cash network. After the failure of the Segwit2x proposal to scale Bitcoin, a significant percentage of early adopters have moved onto the Bitcoin Cash network, and progress is happening fast. In fact, as of this interview, I've decided to only support Bitcoin Cash addresses for my work, and I've decided to write my next book on Bitcoin, called "The First Fork: From Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash."

Ryan X Charles is the founder of Yours.org, a social media platform that uses cryptocurrency micropayments to incentive creators and support better content. Topics Discussed: - What the X means - What got Ryan interested - Deciding to go full-time into Bitcoin in 2013 - The idea for yours.org - The problems with micro-payments - Working on payment channels for Yours - Changing the infrastructure from Bitcoin, to Litecoin, to Bitcoin Cash - How the payments work on Yours.org - The different ways of creating value on social media - How economics helps create better content on the internet For full show notes visit isaacmorehouse.com/podcast

Bitcoin recently experienced a hard fork which resulted in Bitcoin classic if you will and Bitcoin Cash. This was because of Segwit. Now there is Segwit2X coming up and the possibility to have perhaps another form of bitcoin - i.e. there will be 3 different versions of bitcoin out to trade and use. To explain all this, we needed to bring an expert in. Ryan Charles is the Cofounder and CEO of Yours.org. Ryan's been involved in the blockchain industry since 2011. He's has worked as an engineer at BitPay and BitGo as well as he was the Cryptocurrency engineer of Reddit from 2014-2015. As as proponent of Bitcoin Cash, Ryan explains to us the intricacies of what's happening with Bitcoin. To help us with that, I've invited Nako Mbelle who is one of our new co-hosts and she will be having this illuminating chat with Ryan.

This is the craziest time in Bitcoin's history, and it's mired in confusion and misinformation. To help give some context, I'm joined by a long time Bitcoiner and entrepreneur Ryan X. Charles, who is the CEO and co-founder of Yours. He breaks down some of the facts and history surrounding the network split and creation of Bitcoin Cash.

Hello, welcome to episode 49 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. After moderating a Bitcoin scaling panel at the State Of Digital Money in Los Angeles, I followed up by arranging back-to-back interviews with Ryan X. Charles and Eric Lombrozo. I wanted to dig a bit deeper into some issues around scaling and Bitcoin forks. Last episode was my interview with Ryan, and now the yin to Ryan's yang, Eric Lombrozo.

Hello, welcome to episode 48 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In episode 47 you heard the Bitcoin Scaling panel I moderated at the State Of Digital Money in Los Angeles. While I loved being part of that panel, I really didn't get to ask many questions. The time allotted to that panel went by so quickly that I really wanted more! So, I was able to arrange interviews with Ryan X. Charles and Eric Lombrozo to dig a bit deeper into some issues around scaling and Bitcoin forks. In this episode I talk to Ryan; you'll hear Eric in episode 49. UPDATE: Things move fast in Bitcoin!

Hello, welcome to episode 47 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. We recently had the State Of Digital Money, the first big Bitcoin conference in Los Angeles since 2015. Actually, I'm unsure if I should call it a Bitcoin conference, since the majority of the presentations were not directly related to Bitcoin. Luckily for me, I got to moderate a panel on scaling Bitcoin with notable Bitcoiners: Core developer Eric Lombrozo, longtime Bitcoin developer Ryan X. Charles, vocal trader and personality Tone Vays, and Airbitz Wallet's Paul Puey. You'll hear the discussion in its entirety on this episode.

Hello, welcome to episode 46 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In these times of uncertainty and division, Bitcoin could use some fence menders. Especially if they have technical chops and experience in the space. Jameson Lopp is just that kind of person.

IN THIS EPISODE The hope of Bitcoin enabling fast, frictionless micropayments is one of the promises of the technology that has excited us all. But it's been a long time coming and, especially in Bitcoin, it has seemed a long way off. Enter Ryan X. Charles and "Yours." Yours is a social media platform that will enable true micropayments that can get everyone that contributes value to the platform to get paid, proportional to the value given. Not a new idea, but Yours is about to prove it will happen. Ryan says the tech is solid and will allow Bitcoin micropayments within the Yours ecosystem without changing the Bitcoin core code, and is soon going into public testing on the TestBitcoin network. There are a lot of ins and outs. Listen and enjoy. And be encouraged. MUSIC Bumper music: *Rocket Power* by Kevin MacLeod. LINKS https://www.yours.org Recent, thorough presentation at Triangle Bitcoin meetup--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsqZY5ETGn0&t=1135s Integrating Micropayments Into the Social Product -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vluZsQ1lTOE

Today’s guest is Ryan X. Charles, CEO and co-founder of Yours.org, a Bitcoin-powered social media platform which rewards content creators with cryptocurrency payments. What you are going to LEARN in this episode: Why the current model for monetizing social media is broken and Bitcoin may be the answer What are “micropayments” and why they might just be the next “big thang” How Yours.org is different than Facebook, Reddit and Steemit.com How AI bots will integrate into and improve our everyday life (and how they can pay for themselves) The Problem: Content creators are curating high-quality content on social media, but have little ability to monetize it. Yours.org’s Solution: Build a social media platform on the Bitcoin network which also includes a digital currency economy and payment system.

It is hard to think it's been eight months since Ryan X Charles came onto our show, as we are in dire need of an update on what he was been working on.

By thoughtfully incentivizing payments to creators, they give people a reason to pay for content on the internet.

In the last 20 years, content publishing platforms have proliferated to an almost insane number. There are countless places where people and companies can post articles, blogs, videos, photos, live content and so on. Despite this diverse offering, little innovation has happened in monetizing content, which still mostly remains ad-based. We’re joined by Ryan X. Charles, Bitcoin Developer and Founder of Yours. Yours would like to address the monetization problem by allowing content producers to earnBitcoin when they create good content. Yours is an in-browser application which implements a Bitcoin wallet and enables micro-transactions through their own implementation of the Lightning Network. Content Creators are paid by Curators who attribute value to the content. Curators are themselves rewarded when content they find valuable goes viral. Topics discussed in this episode: Ryan’s background as the Lead Developer of BitCore, and his experience at BitGo and Reddit What is Yours and what types of applications it enables The technical components of Yours The Yours application and how users post and access content Why he chose to build Yours on bitcoin How micropayments are implemented in Yours How Yours addresses the issue of copyright infringement What challenges Yours may face in order to reach critical mass Episode links: Yours website Yours client This episode is hosted by Meher Roy and Sébastien Couture.

Circumnavigating the planet teaching blockchain, Ryan X Charles finds himself in our studio to discuss how he is starting his own blockchain-based social media company called Datt, a decentralized content sharing app with integrated bitcoin payments. Oh, and he just created his own fork of bitcoin called Ryan X. Charles Bitcoin, and it's exactly the same as bitcoin, except MAX_BLOCK_SIZE is eight million instead of one million. No big deal. Oh, what can I say, we love the nerdy stuff. Holla at your Datt, son!
