TBP142 - The Need For More Information Jul 30, 2017

Show notes

Only a handful of people have been able to answer our '10 words or less' question three times. Alex comes back on the show in true hat trick form, but this time he comes solo to talk about a variety of topics. Alex Sunnarborg is a research analyst at CoinDesk. Previously, he was a founder and the CFO of Lawnmower, a blockchain investment and market research firm acquired by CoinDesk in January 2017. We haven't chatted with him since the acquisition so we thought we would catch up. Press play PAB!

BlockChannel Episode 26: Off the Grid, with Grid+ Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

On this episode of BlockChannel, we interview Grid+. Their project aims to create P2P decentralized markets for sharing and selling energy using Ethereum-based smart contracts. Their project seeks to tap into the sustainability movement as a way to assist in bootstrapping the Ethereum network; in similar ways to how AOL trojan-horsed dial-up internet use and the internet with the use of mailable CDs.

Ether Review #69 — IOTA & the Post-Blockchain Era Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

David Sønstebø, co-founder of IOTA, discusses this next-generation post-blockchain platform designed to serve as the backbone for the Internet-of-Things (IoT). IOTA is a groundbreaking new open-source distributed ledger that does not use a blockchain. Its innovative new quantum-proof protocol, known as the Tangle, gives rise to unique new features like zero fees, infinite scalability, fast transactions, secure data transfer and many others. Because the Tangle uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) instead of a blockchain, users automatically act as validators, allowing transaction validation to become an intrinsic property of utilising the network. Each transaction requires the sender to verify two previous transactions, resulting in infinite scalability while avoiding the validation centralization that is common with existing consensus mechanisms. IOTA is also developing a novel standard for embedding minuscule ASIC chips in all IoT devices. These chips perform nominal proof-of-work hashes in order to prevent spam and Sybil attacks, and because the network is partition-tolerant and only eventually consistent, brute force hashing attacks are prevented. With a transaction volume limited only by the speed of light, IOTA is a promising new solution to the limitations presented by blockchains. iota.org twitter.com/iotatoken twitter.com/davidsonstebo consensys.net consensysmedia.net https://itunes.apple.com//podcast/the-ether-review/id899090462?mt=2 IOTA Whitepaper

TBP139 - Surviving the BIP 148 UASF Jul 17, 2017

Show notes

Explaining compatibility between the Segwit activation of the current Segwit2X code and BIP 148 UASF is the meat of this weeks episode, so if this isn't your bag, or you're NOT curious, well... As of August 1st (and if Segwit is not already either locked-in or activated) nodes that run BIP 148 will not accept any blocks that don’t signal Segwit. There is a chance Bitcoin will experience a chain-split on August 1st. The bad news is that this coin-split can be messy and risky. And if you’re not careful, you could lose funds. This episode will provide you with the basics to keeping your funds safe during the UASF and will help to make sure you make it to the “other side” with all your bitcoins intact with a little help from our guest Aaron van Wirdum from Bitcoin Magazine.
