Bitcoin Gold in a Nutshell

Correction: Fork is scheduled for Oct 25th, I spoke the wrong month.
bitcoin gold is a proposed hard fork on the bitcoin network that will change the proof of work algorithm to equihash. The main advantage of this is to break the reliance of bitcoin on ASIC mining and switch to GPU based mining. When the fork happens, this will cause a chain split, and all bitcoin wallets that have bitcoin prior to the split have both bitcoin and bitcoin gold (not bitcoin cash)

The road to mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies is a long one. Although the user experience of wallets has greatly improved since the dark days of command-line only interfaces, decentralized applications continue to struggle with onboarding non-technical users.

Jarrad Hope and Carl Bennetts, join us to discuss Status, a mobile Ethereum client which aims to turn the standard wallet experience on its head. At its core, Status is a mobile instant messenger client that leverages the Whisper protocol for secure peer-to-peer communication. Through its familiar messaging interface and elegant design, users can chat and send Ether directly in the app. As the first implementation of Ethereum’s Light Client Protocol, users may also use decentralized applications such as uPort, Gnosis and Aragon on their mobile phones. Built as an open source project, Status’ developer platform also allows developers to easily port their Dapps to the app.

Topics discussed in this episode:

Jarrad and Carl’s background and journey to the Ethereum space
Status’ vision for a friendly, mobile Dapp client
Status’ technical architecture
How Status leverages Ethereum’s Light Client and Whisper protocols
The Status user experience and feature set
Jarrad and Carl’s views on privacy and how Status fulfils their goal of privacy by default
The long term vision for a Status Network
The project’s roadmap and business model
