With the Introduction of Ark, the new 2nd layer payments and privacy protocol introduced with Read_734. I left with a lot of excitement, but I still had a ton of questions, so it felt like time for a chat with Burak, the creator of Ark. We dive into the bigger picture, how this is similar to lightning, how it is different, and then in an attempt to piece together the working parts we go through a bunch of edge cases and detail exactly how the ASP, past owners of Ark balances, and current owners of Ark balances all respond to secure the ownership of their coins. Don't miss this one. This is Bitcoin Audible Chat #80 - Building the Ark with Burak. Don't forget to check out arkpill.me for more details. Here are a few of the links that Burak sent my way for more exploration. Let me know if you want me to cover one on the show!

"This is the first time we've interacted with anything other than a parrot that can string together a coherent sentence. And it sounds stupid, but it's actually true. So we are anthropomorphizing, we are projecting our own consciousness onto this thing, and we are immediately imagining Terminator, Minority Report, God knows what else we are imagining - the Ray Kurzweil's of the world - we're imagining that all of a sudden, that's it, we unlocked it, basically we have discovered God. We did it. To me that's such a mix of naivety, ignorance, and arrogance that it's not even funny." ~ Aleks Svetski We have an awesome conversation kicking off episode 2 of AI Unchained today with Aleks Svetski, who is currently building a not-yet-public project in the AI world. He brings a very unique perspective that tries to bring back a bit of perspective to the imaginations gone wild on the world ending possibilities of AI. What is the truth of it? And can we instill "truth" in these machines? Can we make them "objective and unbiased?" Or is there something both inherently foolish and presuming in even the attempt of such a thing, that we can prevent making the same mistakes of the past.

This episode will be part review, and part just going over some very practical, step by step ways to think about managing your keys with a hardware wallet. What you always need to do, how to not over complicate things, who you are protecting your keys from, and more. This episode will be good for those who had been considering taking the dive into their first hardware wallet, and still feel a little uncomfortable about exactly what to do to make sure their keys are there when needed.

"Ark is a trustless, distinct layer two protocol with unilateral exit. ASPs cannot steal users’ funds or link senders & receivers. Users retain self-custody and can revert their funds to the base layer if something goes wrong on the second layer." — Burak Today we dive into possibly the most exciting announcement to come out of Bitcoin2023, a genuinely unique layer 2 protocol, for non-custodial, fully anonymous, fast, cheap, off-chain payments.

"Permission can only be denied if it is requested. Direct, peer-to-peer interaction obviates permission and equalizes market power. Don’t request permission to transact; transact. Don’t tinker with the system; supersede it." — Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive into a great piece just dropped from Roy Shienfeld with a great way to think both about Bitcoin and lightning adoption by the mainstream, and also about the path and direction forward to bring the most utility to the most people. Don't build another lightning app, build apps, and attach them to lightning. This is much easier than most realize with the Breez SDK; no licenses, no custody, no maintaining wallet infrastructure, just implement and go. We win by putting this in developers hands.

"The biggest complaint members of my audience make about Nostr is the sheer dominance of Bitcoin content. This is understandable. Nostr uses a means of identification and account management very similar to Bitcoin, it has Bitcoin Lightning integration and Bitcoiners tend to be somewhat techy nerds and early adopters. Hence mostly Bitcoin type folks were the first to see Nostr’s potential and get on it. There is a finite limit to growth though with any topic on social media and instead of complaining about one topic dominance I think it is time we focus on the solution, let’s talk about other stuff." — Jack Spirko Check out the original article and helpful links for getting started on Nostr if you haven't yet.

"Bitcoin transaction fees limit network abuse by making usage expensive. There is a cost to every transaction, set by a dynamic free market based on demand." — Matt Odell Is Bitcoin broken, are the high fees the end of Bitcoin as money?

Today we dive into a short, but solid post by Matt Odell to make sense of what is going on with fees, and then a Guy's Take to clear up some previous discussions, and make sure we understand the difference between the censorship and engineering concerns around the Bitcoin system and its secure operation.
