Podcasts about segregated witness

In this episode of Bitcoin, Explained, Aaron (@AaronvanW) and Sjors (@provoost) explain why the witness discount was included in the Segregated Witness protocol upgrade from 2017, why this discount is 75%, and why this discount still makes sense in today's world where Inscriptions benefit from it.

Bitcoin just got better! Block 709,632 was officially the first Bitcoin block mined with the new Taproot upgrade. This marks the first upgrade since 2017 which saw both the “soft fork” Segregated Witness as well as a “hard fork” which led to the creation of Bitcoin Cash. Let's take a dive in and see what this upgrade has in store for Bitcoin and it's hodlers.

In this episode of The Van Wirdum Sjorsnado, hosts Aaron van Wirdum and Sjors Provoost discuss Segregated Witness, also known as SegWit. SegWit was the last soft fork to have been activated on the Bitcoin network in the summer of 2017, and the biggest Bitcoin protocol upgrade to date. In short, SegWit allowed transaction data and signature data to be separated in Bitcoin blocks. In this episode, Aaron and Sjors explain how this works, and that this offered four main benefits: First, SegWit solved the transaction malleability issue, where transaction IDs could be altered without invalidating the transactions themselves. Solving the transaction malleability issue itself in turn enabled second layer protocols like the Lightning Network. Second, SegWit offered a modest block size limit increase by discounting the “weight” of witness data, most notably signatures. Importantly, this could be done without the need for a hard fork. Third, SegWit's script versioning allows for easier upgrades to new transactions types. The anticipated Taproot upgrade could be a first example of this feature. And fourth, input signing resolved some edge case problems where wallets needed to make sure they don't overpay in transaction fees.. Hardware wallets benefit from this solution in particular.

Stellar (XLM) Stellar is an open blockchain network designed to provide enterprise solutions by connecting financial institutions for the purpose of large transactions. Huge transactions between banks and investment firms that typically would take several days, a number of intermediaries, and cost a good deal of money, can now be done nearly instantaneously with no intermediaries and cost little to nothing for those making the transaction. While Stellar has positioned itself as an enterprise blockchain for institutional transactions, it is still an open blockchain that can be used by anyone. The system allows for cross-border transactions between any currencies. Stellar's native currency is Lumens (XLM). The network requires users to hold Lumens to be able to transact on the network. Stellar was founded by Jed McCaleb, a founding member of Ripple Labs and developer of the Ripple protocol. He eventually left his role with Ripple and went on to co-found the Stellar Development Foundation. Stellar Lumens have a market capitalization of $6.1 billion and are valued at $0.27 as of January 2021. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Bitcoin cash (BCH) holds an important place in the history of altcoins because it is one of the earliest and most successful hard forks of the original Bitcoin. In the cryptocurrency world, a fork takes place as the result of debates and arguments between developers and miners. Due to the decentralized nature of digital currencies, wholesale changes to the code underlying the token or coin at hand must be made due to general consensus; the mechanism for this process varies according to the particular cryptocurrency. When different factions can't come to an agreement, sometimes the digital currency is split, with the original chain remaining true to its original code and the new chain beginning life as a new version of the prior coin, complete with changes to its code. BCH began its life in August of 2017 as a result of one of these splits. The debate that led to the creation of BCH had to do with the issue of scalability; the Bitcoin network has a limit on the size of blocks: one megabyte (MB). BCH increases the block size from one MB to eight MB, with the idea being that larger blocks can hold more transactions within them, and therefore the transaction speed would be increased. It also makes other changes, including the removal of the Segregated Witness protocol which impacts block space. As of January 2021, BCH had a market cap of $8.9 billion and a value per token of $513.45. Litecoin (LTC) Litecoin, launched in 2011, was among the first cryptocurrencies to follow in the footsteps of Bitcoin and has often been referred to as “silver to Bitcoin's gold.” It was created by Charlie Lee, an MIT graduate and former Google engineer. Litecoin is based on an open-source global payment network that is not controlled by any central authority and uses "scrypt" as a proof of work, which can be decoded with the help of CPUs of consumer-grade. Although Litecoin is like Bitcoin in many ways, it has a faster block generation rate and hence offers a faster transaction confirmation time. Other than developers, there are a growing number of merchants who accept Litecoin. As of January 2021, Litecoin had a market cap of $10.1 billion and a per token value of $153.88, making it the sixth-largest cryptocurrency in the world.

Location: San Fransisco Date: Monday 22nd July Company: Blockstream Role: Co-founder Pieter Wuille is one of the most influential, respected and prolific Bitcoin developers. While his career began at Google, the appeal of working on  Bitcoin's open-source protocol was too tempting and led him to co-found Blockstream.  Pieter has had a significant influence on the Bitcoin project and has the third most commits on the codebase. He has helped to implement some of the most significant changes to the protocol, including Segregated Witness, one of the most contentious hard forks in Bitcoin's history.  As others debate the Bitcoin roadmap, Pieter has managed to remove himself from the infighting; instead, focusing his time on improving Bitcoin.  As such, he's now working on implementing Taproot, Schnorr Signatures and MAST. In this interview, we hear how Pieter first heard about Bitcoin in 2010, entering the world of mining and selling thousands of Bitcoin for $0.20. I also find out what he thinks of Bitcoin in 2019 and what he argues is the threat to its future. Bonus: we also hear from a Blockstream intern at the end about his experience working at Blockstream and supporting Pieter in developing Bitcoin.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," we interview none other than Roger Ver to discuss the recent controversial talk by Craig Wright, the self-professed Satoshi Nakamoto, at the recent "The Future of Bitcoin" conference. We discuss Craig Wright's scathing criticisms of the core devs and Segregated Witness, and his proposed solutions for the block-size issue and his take on Bitcoin scalability. Frank Bacon joins us for the entire show, and in the second hour we focus on him and his opinions about Craig Wright's speech, altcoins, and other things. This is a must-hear, must-see show (there is video) about one of the most important speeches in recent Bitcoin history.

After years of what has seemed like an endless debate, bitcoin may be at a crucial turning point in its relatively short lifetime. The question network scalability has divided the community into several factions which are seemingly irreconcilable. However, in just a few weeks, the future of bitcoin may be decided as miners and users throw their support behind one of many proposals to propel the bitcoin network into a new era. Bitcoin Developer and Principal Architect at Paxos, Jimmy Song, joins us to discuss the different scalability proposals for which miners are currently signaling their support. Among others, Segregated Witness (BIP 141), Emergent Consensus (Bitcoin Unlimited) and SegWit2x (The New York Agreement), are gaining significant traction among miners. Will one of these proposals gain majority support, allowing for the network to upgrade with relative ease, or will we enter a situation where one proposal is backed by a strong minority of users, potentially forking the network into two? Topics covered in this episode: Jimmy’s background as a Bitcoin Developer and former VP of Engineering at Armory A broad overview of bitcoin network’s current situation An overview of the different scaling proposals for which miners are signaling their support Important dates coming up in July and August of 2017 The difference between Segregated Witness and SegWit2x The UASF and how it may affect SegWit2x implementation Episode links: BIP91: The SegWit Activation "Kludge" That Should Keep Bitcoin Whole Examining Bitmain’s Press Release BIP 148 UASF Q&A Greg Maxwell: "a hasty snapshot of a few of my views" UAHF: A contingency plan against UASF (BIP148) How to Give Everyone More Control "Bitcoin Scaling Agreement at Consensus 2017 Bitcoin, UASF and Skin in the Game UASF BIP148 Scenarios and Game Theory Why the UASF Segwit Scenario is Hopelessly Naive [bitcoin-discuss] [Bitcoin-segwit2x] Alpha Milestone This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

First and foremost, Congratulations to Litecoin and Charlie Lee, our guest this week, on locking in Segregated Witness activation! In an era when blockchain upgrades have been defined by years of intellectual combat, a new milestone is set to offer a stark contrast to that narrative. If SegWit proves to be safe, it will put more pressure on bitcoin mining pools to adopt the change. Although it seems unlikely LTC will overtake BTC anytime soon, things will get very interesting moving forward. A successful SegWit activation for Litecoin could have an effect on the bitcoin network too, though. These are exciting times to be involved in cryptocurrency, that much is certain.

Years into the great Bitcoin scaling debate no solution is in reach. Neither bigger blocks nor Segregated Witness have anywhere near consensus support. With the conflict escalating, a Bitcoin fork has become a real possibility. Electrum Developer Thomas Voegtlin joined us to discuss the state of the Bitcoin scaling debate. We discussed Bitcoin Unlimited, ASICBoost, SegWit activation without miner support and how a Bitcoin fork could play out. Possible outcomes include that Bitcoin Unlimited gains a majority of hashing power and starts mining bigger blocks. In the event of a fork, a proof-of-work change could be done to defend the minority chain from miner attacks. And lately a proposal was brought forward to activate SegWit without the support of the hashing power. Topics discussed in this episode: ASICBoost and its potential role in the conflict How a Bitcoin fork could happen How to split coins in case of a fork How UASF could be used to activate SegWit without miner support Requirements for UASF to be safe How Electrum would handle a fork Episode links: Electrum Bitcoin Wallet ASICBoost – Hacker Noon Bitcoin's New Controversy: The AsicBoost Allegations Explained - CoinDesk Timo Hanke on ASICBoost and SegWit Non-Activation From AsicBoost to UASF: Greg Maxwell on Bitcoin's Path Forward - CoinDesk [bitcoin-dev] Thomas Voegtlin: Soft Fork Threshold Signaling Proposal UASF Working Group [bitcoin-dev] Greg Maxwell: I do not support the BIP 148 UASF Thomas Voegtlin: Electrum, SPV Wallets And Bitcoin Aliases — Epicenter This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

The acronym stand for “user activated soft fork” and many hope the concept will allow Segregated Witness to activate sooner.As it stands, we need 95% of Bitcoin’s mining power to signal support for SegWit before it activates, but that kind of consensus has proven difficult to achieve. The UASF proposal aims to hasten consensus by giving users a stronger voice. Is this safe? What are the real differences in these two soft fork activation plans?Then later in the show, we’ll chat about three countries that have significant influence in the Bitcoin space.

MP3, Poll, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/e169This is episode 169 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast!To kick things off today, we’ll dive into a discussion about a Bitcoin mining method called ASICBOOST. The concept makes Bitcoin miners as much as 30% more efficient, which could generate an estimated $100 million in additional annual revenue for a large mining operation. Efficiency is usually a good thing, but ASICBOOST comes with extra baggage that has been causing drama in the Bitcoin space.First of all, the idea is patented. That might sound absurd, but it’s true. So tonight we’ll chat about what it means for Bitcoin. Would miners really respect this kind of patent?But ASICBOOST gets even more interesting when it comes to Segregated Witness because the two technologies are not compatible. Some have theorized, then, that certain miners have been so hesitant to adopt SegWit because they are covertly profiting from this exploit. How likely is that? Is this why Roger Ver hates SegWit?Then later in the show, we’ll cover some more positive SegWit news. While Bitcoin struggles to get miners on board with the improvement, the majority of Litecoin miners already support it, meaning it could kick in for the altcoin at any time. Is this good? What will happen when it starts?We’ll have the scoop and endless opinions while we’re live tonight.

The concept makes Bitcoin miners as much as 30% more efficient, which could generate an estimated $100 million in additional annual revenue for a large mining operation.

With both the Bitcoin Unlimited and Segregated Witness efforts far from reaching majority support and exploding transaction fees, the debate around how to scale Bitcoin continues on. One of the key arguments against bigger blocks and Bitcoin Unlimited is that a blocksize restriction is needed to create a healthy fee market. Dr Peter Rizun has been researching the economics of transaction fees in Bitcoin extensively and joined us to discuss what dynamics affect fees and why he thinks the blocksize limit will eventually fall. Topics covered in this episode: Bitcoin seen through the eyes of a physicist The dynamics that determine transaction fees in Bitcoin How orphaning risks drive the fee market economics The relationship between the block reward and the fee market Why the blocksize limit will eventually fall Why Peter supports Bitcoin Unlimited The state of discussion between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited Episode links: Dr. Peter Rizun's talk at Scaling Bitcoin Montreal 2015 Dr. Peter Rizun: "A Transaction Fee Market Exists Without a Block Size Limit" XT Nodes - Bitcoin Hashrate Distribution Bitco.in Forum Ledger - Peer-Reviewed Journal on Cryptocurrency and Blockchain This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Meher Roy.

Today’s show is all about two massive Bitcoin battles: Coinbase versus the IRS and ViaBTC versus SegWit.First up, we’ll cover the IRS’s request for millions of customer records from Coinbase. Supposedly, some Bitcoin users cheated on their taxes, so the IRS wants everything from transaction records to physical addresses to device history and more. This is obviously an invasion of privacy, but how far will Coinbase go to protect their customers?Then after that, we’ll chat about ViaBTC’s plan to block Segregated Witness. ViaBTC is a mining pool whose operator, Haipo Yang, hopes to get enough hashing power to run the network on Bitcoin Unlimited, which has no block size limit. We’ll read an interview from Bitcoin Magazine to help us understand the debate better.Tune in to learn all about the great SegWit debate! Your hosts are Daniel Brown and Tim Baker.

In the midst of the heated blocksize debate one could be forgiven to think that there is very little Bitcoin developers are able to agree on. Yet, when core developer and Blockstream co-founder Pieter Wuille introduced the concept of segregated witness at the Scaling Bitcoin conference in Hong Kong most of the Bitcoin community quickly rallied behind the proposal. Eric Lombrozo, CEO of wallet company Ciphrex and responsible for running the segregated witness testnet, joined us to discuss the proposal and its implications. Segregated witness, it turns out, does not only provide an elegant way to increase the blocksize via a soft-fork, it also solves transaction malleability and greatly simplifies updating the Bitcoin’s scripting language. It’s a crucial topic and may well enable a new wave of accelerated innovation in Bitcoin. Topics covered in this episode: The various benefits of segregated witness The mechanics of segregated witness How segregated witness solves transaction malleability How segregated witness could increase the blocksize to 2-3MB with a soft fork What segregated witness means for wallet developers How segregated witness could facilitate development of off-chain networks such as Lightning Network The important difference between hard forks and soft forks How segregated witness will allow updates of Bitcoin’s script language via soft forks Episode links: Scaling Bitcoin Talk by Pieter Wuille Let's Talk Bitcoin! #277 Separating Signatures with Segregated Witness Gavin Andresen: Segregated Witness is Cool Bitcoin Magazine Series on Segregated Witness Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Eric Lombrozo's company Ciphrex This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

First up today, we'll chat about Segregated Witness, a technical solution that may help scale Bitcoin. It's a relatively new idea, so we aren't experts on all the details, but we'll try to explain how it's different than increasing the block size, how likely it is to be implemented, and more.Then after that, we'll compare Bitcoin's performance in 2015 to that of other currencies, companies, and products. The Bitcoin price is still not as high as it used to be, but has it had a more successful year than things like Apple Watch, Volkswagen, or Greece? Then to wrap up, we'll reflect on how 2015 has been different than the early years of Bitcoin. Much has changed and we have high expectations for 2016.Your hosts this week are Daniel Brown, Tim Baker, and John Stuart.
