The Bitcoin Podcast

This week's episode features Stuart Popejoy, founder of the Kadena, creator of the Pact smart contract language, and engineer/designer of the Chainweb blockchain protocol. We go in-depth on design decisions for Pact, how language simplicity impacts the security and adoption of second generation blockchains, how formal verification can be used to improve certainty in smart contracts, and the over-emphasis of Turing completeness for a very domain-specific language such as smart contracts. We go into the design behind Chainweb, an unboundedly scalable Proof of Work blockchain architecture, which expects to reach a whopping 10,000 tx/sec (864,000,000 tx/day) on its first year of release. https://github.com/slpopejoy

We celebrate episode 200! Kenn Bosak gets a tattoo of our logo! WHAT?! Holy shit! Also, Taylor from MyCrypto swings by to let us know about the Desktop App (Alpha), which is NOW AVAILABLE! Recent events have underlined the importance of using downloadable builds, and we believe this early version of their Desktop application is a step in the right direction. Get it now: https://download.mycrypto.com. Also Keni Styles, former pornographic actor, swings by to give us part 2 of his story, that stemmed from episode 100. He teaches us that even in crisis, assessing situations based on allowing what is and consciously creating new action from it can be a powerful practice. We also get an update on the crypto porn community and how bad actors and practices can rewind progression.

Today we talk with Mike Misiti and Teddy Haggerty of Quarteria.io Quateria is building an international directory for real estate. Most search platforms are small in nature, limited to counties or states, and sometimes countries. Exhorbitant fees are paid by brokers and sellers for prime positions on these sites. We aim to produce a worldwide listings service, using an open source algorithm and giving equal opportunity to all properties, brokers and sellers. Enjoy! Link: https://www.quarteria.io/

In this episode of Buy or Sell, JJ, Alec, and Dee blatantly outvote that BTC is better than Gold...but we're biased. We also go into how we've positioned ourselves in this market, how we build our crypto portfolios. We also touch on how to secure yourself in this crypto world.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform has recently introduced its Blockchain framework for Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric allowing users to build and manage their own Blockchain. According to the statement, users will be able to create their own Blockchain applications via the AWS CloudFormation Templates tool to avoid the time-consuming manual setup of their Blockchain network. We dive into this news headfirst. Then, Ubitquity LLC, the first blockchain-secured platform for real estate recordkeeping, is pleased to stop by the studio for a 4th time.
