The Bitcoin Podcast

Evan Van Ness is joining Lucian as co-host this week to discuss the bounty on his head, Eth2 interoperability between 7 client implementations, and zero knowledge (zk) mixers. They digress into how zk is being used for privacy and scaling in new ways that are already making it onto main net.

In today's episode, Corey and Collin talk with Anatoly Yakovenko, the Co-Founder and CEO of Solana. Solana is a blockchain platform attempting to scale transactions without the need of sharding and we want to know how they plan to do it. Join us as we dive into their strategy, their current progress, and where they plan to go. We ask the right questions to get you to the right answers on how this technology works, so come listen and enjoy!

In this episode Dee and Dr. Petty bring up the conversation of hardware wallets and personal security. We discuss the pros and cons of hardware wallets and why you should or should not buy one. Are hardware wallets even the final form of paramount crypto security? There is also an interview with an Industrial Engineer, Rick V. He is making building a node and hardware wallet security a thing anyone can do. With very neat, secure, and interesting 3D printed accessories for these two sectors of the Bitcoin space. More people are coming on board and securing their Bitcoin with hardware devices.

In this episode, Corey and Dee get a dose of ether from the host of Dose of Ether, Mr. Lucian. What transpires is a sicussion about the dos and don'ts, ins and outs, and pros and cons of DAOs. It has been a mightly long time since The DAO, and the Decentralized Autonomous Organization is on the road to the comeback tour! Celsius Network, MakerDAO, and other organizations are trying their hand in launching this programmatic organization. A business built on code, living on code, or dying by code.Enjoy!A link:DAO blog - https://kronosapiens.github.io/blog/2019/06/16/aragon-daostack-colony-moloch.html Logos Press Engine includes Logos Podcast and Hashing It Out. Hashing it Out dives into the mechanisms and hardware of the technology that aid in making sovereign communities. 

This episode Corey and Collin bring on the academics Arthur Gervais and Dominik Harz from Imperial College London. They discuss a new protocol that attempts to reduce the required financial deposits for various mechanisms in a way that does not reduce security. In other words, it is an attempt to help with over-collateralization, which could save investors a lot of money! As always, we get into the weeds to try and figure out exactly how it works, and where it is best used. Come listen and enjoy!

Would you put Bitcoin in your 401k? Most likely if you are listening to this show. Corey and Demetrick discuss a litany of topics this episode with an OG, ExiledSurfer: what does crypto look like when the remaining 50% of the population joins the craze, what makes ethereum more of a draw than bitcoin, how can governance take place in cryptoanarchy, and why does Exiled Surfer roll his cigarettes directly into the microphone. Also, there was a bird orgy outside of Corey's house...those birds were freaky-naughty.

In this episode the roundtable is open. Ray Redacted, Jessie "The Man" Broke, Harry D and Taylor from MyCrypto all swing by to discuss security, why it is not sexy and what it needs to do to be sexy. Corey invents a new acronym, "SIS." Everyone in the roundtable agrees that it should be a new standard way of thinking. Also, Taylor reminds everyone in the crypto community that the worst user experience is the one where the user loses their money. Nobody wants that. Oh...and for good measure, if you aren't using 2FA or some form of MFA, then you are just waiting to get pwned. Waiting very patiently to get pwned.

We're happy to welcome back Truebit Protocol to the podcast! This time we're speaking with Jason Teutsch, mathematican, computer scientist, and founder of the protocol. Truebit is an incentivization scheme for the compute and validation of off-chain code execution with on-chain commitment and validation. We talk about the protocol, but also about their two-token model for producing value in the network and encouraging participation. Truebit is a very interesting protocol, listen and then check it out!
