Today we cover more specifically the consequences and risks of a divorce between miners & the network of nodes. What could the miners do, are sybil attacks proof that nodes worthless, what exactly are the incentives that keep the different players in this ecosystem working together? Don’t miss another fun discussion on what defines Bitcoin, and the role that proof-of-work & validation play in this revolutionary technology.
When we dig to the very base elements of Bitcoin, we find it is merely digital points. What make these integers different from identical ones on billions of other computers? It is the rules that restrict the editing of those specific integers we call Bitcoin, in other words, it is the network of validating nodes that define it. In this episode you will hear Part 1 of my argument as to why.
Today we go on an extended walk through some of the most epic days of Bitcoin’s and the Cryptoconomy’s history! Telling some of my personal experiences and the crazy times that were had. Do you know about the origins of some of Bitcoin’s biggest memes? Do you know what started the Blocksize Wars? Do you know when the first shitcoin was born? All this and much more in our discussion of my Cryptoconomy Holiday Calendar.
By rummaging through the history and defining the philosophy of BCash and the various “big block” forks of Bitcoin, we may be able to get to the center of that elusive thing called “Satoshi’s Vision”…
It feels like a good day for a long discussion comparing the trust model of government money, and the trust model of a decentralized, proof-of-work blockchain. Aka – Bitcoin vs. The Dollar.
A look at the crazy past, the present, and the future of Bitcoin and where I think things are headed. Bitcoin is here to stay and there are 10 amazing years of Proof-of-Survival I can point to as evidence. Happy Birthday Bitcoin, may the next 10 years be just as crazy!
We hit a major milestone in the show! Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us and contributed to the show! Today I’m covering the past & future of the show and new things coming to Cryptoconomy.Life!
A short episode today introducing the video walkthrough of the Initial Setup of the Casa Bitcoin & Lightning Node, and configuring your router to be both accepting requests for blockchain data for Bitcoin & routing payments for Lightning! A must for any Node Operators out there.
First impressions of the Casa Node and first issues standing in the way of my Lightning playtime. The pain is real. Plus, a few updates and what we have in the works for Cryptoconomy.Life in this brief GuysTake episode!
Lightning is slowly coming into its own. With clean working wallets, and dedicated plug-and-play nodes around the corner, it’s time to talk about the #LightningNetwork apps that I think could make waves in the early days. Listen to this “Guy’s Take” episode to find out more!
Would you give up $1,000,000 in Bitcoin today, to guarantee its success and that our future was one of sound, decentralized money? My answer would have to be ‘yes,’ and here’s why.
“So instead, I’m going to tell a story that makes the function of the Lightning Network less abstract and hopefully, easier to picture in your mind. We will do this by explanation of the system that runs The Panama Canal.” @TheCryptoconomy
I did, for quite some time, fail to see the real scaling hurdle that faces Bitcoin. It was all about the blocksize and how many
I want you to do something for me. Take a minute, and go to your favorite block explorer, and watch the transactions roll in. As
This is an oft heard statement that while true, we must consider to what degree. I have shilled for Bitcoin to many people with the
