The Bitcoin Podcast #214: Dan Boneh Jul 22, 2018

Show notes

Cryptography is an indispensable tool for protecting information in computer systems. This week we speak with Dan Boneh who teaches a course, on applied cryptography and computer security at Stanford University, about learning the inner workings of cryptographic systems and how to correctly use them in real-world applications. The course begins with a detailed discussion of how two parties who have a shared secret key can communicate securely when a powerful adversary eavesdrops and tampers with traffic. We invite Dan on the air to examine many deployed protocols and analyze mistakes in existing systems. In addition, the boys chat about how crypto icons flooded Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list this year! We talk about how Coinbase and Ethereum make the list sandwiched between Rihanna. I refuse to refer to her as 'Riri'.

TBP Flashback: Episode 7 Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to our flashback series where we give you access to archived shows on our feed that are so outdated you can't find it on our feed anymore. With crypto being so unpredictable, we thought it would be fun for our new listeners to check out episodes of our older content. It's like opening up a time capsule! Originally aired in July 2015, Episode 7 is about the human struggle for the separation of money and state, and about Bitcoin as the instrument by which it will happen. In addition, serial entrepreneur Erik Voorhees — an outspoken Bitcoin evangelist and CEO of Shapeshift.io, joins us on the show to talk about these topics, libertarian ideals, communal consensus, and more.

TBP Announcements: Block66 Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

Today we talk with Joe Markham of Block66. Block66 is developing a new breed of mortgage lending platform that leverages blockchain technology to increase transparency, streamline the deployment of capital and overcome geographical lending restrictions. Mortgages are now a rich persons' product, the technology in the market is archaic, and many creditworthy people have been left high and dry by risk-averse institutions. By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, Block66 lowers barriers to entry for small-flexible lenders, streamlines origination, and creates new opportunities for borrowers. Enjoy!

Hashing It Out #15: Ryan John King & Kristoffer Josefsson - FOAM Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

We discuss with Ryan and Kristoffer from FOAM about their protocol which verifies location in a blockchain. Their innovative protocol uses LoRa, blockchain consensus, and a triangulation mechanism called Proof of Location to verify an agents location at a certain point in time. Using their proposed Crypto Spatial Standard, entities can report their location to the blockchain which agent devices known as "anchors" verify for use in consensus applications. Truly amazing technology with massive implications!
