Jan Møller – Principal Engineer at Mycelium and expert on bitcoin

ABSTRACT
A solution to a problem that by many scientists was believed impossible to solve was proposed in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then the bitcoin network has grown to be the biggest distributed computer in existence.

In this talk I will explain how bitcoin works at a technical level and discuss other possible applications of 100% decentralized networks.

Years into the great bitcoin scaling debate no solution is in reach. Neither bigger blocks nor Segregated Witness have anywhere near consensus support. With the conflict escalating, a bitcoin fork has become a real possibility.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Possible outcomes include that bitcoin Unlimited gains a majority of hashing power and starts mining bigger blocks. In the event of a fork, a proof-of-work change could be done to defend the minority chain from miner attacks. And lately a proposal was brought forward to activate SegWit without the support of the hashing power.

  • Thomas Voegtlin, developer of the popular Electrum Wallet, joined us to shed light on these complex issues and share his perspective on the best way forward.
    • ASICBoost and its potential role in the conflict
    • How to split coins in case of a fork
    • How UASF could be used to activate SegWit without miner support
    • Requirements for UASF to be safe
    • How Electrum would handle a fork
