Show Notes

In this episode of Bitcoin, Explained, Aaron and Sjors welcome Ruben Somsen and Josie to the show to discuss BIP 352, their now-finalized Bitcoin Improvement Proposal for Silent Payments. As previously discussed in episode 58, Silent Payments use a special type of addresses that allow senders to generate public keys for transaction recipients, in such a way that these recipients can in turn generate the associated private keys. This benefits privacy, as Bitcoin users can freely share a static address, without this resulting in address reuse on the Bitcoin blockchain. Aaron, Sjors, Ruben and Josie recap how...

"The dollar is king, we're gonna keep it that way. Just saying, if people wanna challenge it, they can, but they're going to pay a big price. And I don't think any of them are willing to pay that price." - Donald Trump Now you know. To be fair, it was in reference to BRICS and you can't accuse the man of consistency.

Interesting perspective: the US government having a stake in Bitcoin, preferably a larger stake than its adversaries, as a shield against bad (and developer unfriendly) policy. That said, I think Bitcoin is more useful for small holders than for nation states - which can just use their army to guard a bunch of hard to steal gold.

Accidentally listened twice. But it's actually good. And short.

They don't promise you fall asleep on this one... and I still don't know what a DVM is, or whatever the acronym was, that did something cool...

Re. de macht van pools: het is goed dat (bij zowel Stratum v2 als Datum) pools een block template actief moeten afwijzen. Dan wéét je al miner tenminste dat er censuur is, nu kom je daar maar moeilijk achter. Stratum v2 op BitAxe staat ook op mijn wensenlijstje, er is een Github issue voor.
