This episode features a comprehensive interview with Michele Federici. Previously involved with Seba Bank (now Amina Bank), Michele discusses his journey from a childhood fascination with computers and security, influenced by his grandfather, to pioneering the development of ultra-secure crypto storage solutions. He shares anecdotes from his early engagement with Bitcoin, insights into the complexities of crypto custody, and detailed explanations of technical challenges encountered while securing cryptocurrencies.

The conversation shifts to Federici's perspective on user interface improvements, self-custody solutions, and his vision for enhancing crypto security through innovative technologies like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and zero-knowledge proofs. Towards the end, Federici provides personal insights on his inspirations, his first paycheck, and the non-financial best investment he's ever made — founding his company.

Cgi-bin is part of a group of engineers called 'No Trust, Verify'. We discuss why cgi-bin is building on Alephium, its unique features and the advantages over Ethereum, including the security features and the ease of running a full node. We also discuss the programming language used on Alephium called Ralph, its simplicity compared to Solidity, and the absence of reentrancy attacks and flash loans. Furthermore we touch on the Alephium ecosystem, the collaboration between Alephium and Nostr, a hackathon that Alephium is planning and more.

Kristian Csepcsar discusses the bitcoin mining industry and the misconceptions about it being boring. He delves into the significance of reduced reward variance, the critical market share required for mining pools, and how aftermarket firmware has revolutionized the industry. Then we explore how Stratum V2 enhances communication between miners and pools and the advantages it will bring. There is also a discussion about the hardware centralization issues in China and the need for more non-Chinese competitors. Finally, Kristian recounts his own journey into Bitcoin, initially motivated by potential profits but eventually captivated by the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin.

I used GPT4 to ask Satoshi Nakamoto all the questions you have ever wanted to ask, like why 21 mio, who inspired him, what will happen when all the coins will be mined and much more. Discover for yourself the answers I got from Chat GPT 4. Occasionally when I thought the answer was to obvious or superficiel, I asked the question again. At one point I ask if he had ever worked with Len Sassaman. Len Sassaman is a potential candidate to be Satoshi. He was a brillant cryptographer, who commited suicide only 2 months after satoshi sent a final communication

I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future.

to cite a brilland article in Medium by Evan Hatch

Len Sassaman

devoted his life to defending personal freedoms through cryptography, working as a developer on PGP encryption and open-source privacy technology, as well as an academic cryptographer researching P2P networks under blockchain inventor David Chaum.

He was also a pillar of the hacker community: a friend and influence to so many of the important figures in the history of infosec and cryptocurrency.

Furthermore we think, by the time stamps of some of Satoshis messages, that at one point he was in europe. At that time Len Sassaman was working in Belgium, with David Chaum. I have included a link to the article in the show notes.

Enjoy, and remember it is just an AI answering you. You will judge for yourself the quality of the responses.

Ever wondered what happens to old Bitcoin miners? Well, they're not gathering dust, I'll tell you that! We have Jim from" Decouvre Bitcoin" who will blow your mind with his new venture: the Atakai project. This creative initiative repurposes outdated Bitcoin miners into functioning space heaters! A DIY project that not only piques your interest in Bitcoin mining but also provides you warmth on those chilly winter nights.

He eloquently dissects the complex world of Bitcoin mining pools, the role of ASIC miners. Our conversation also takes a turn towards the volatile nature of Bitcoin prices and how this impacts the rewards gleaned from mining.

We explore the link between Bitcoin mining and energy dependency. Jim shares his insights on the dynamics of changing mining pools, the hash rate required to join a mining pool, and the significant role China plays in the production of mining hardware. He even takes us down memory lane as he recalls his personal journey of stumbling upon Bitcoin in 2011 and its value evolution over the years. As we wrap things up, we delve into the various ways you, our dear listeners, can show your appreciation for this podcast by sending SATs over the Lightning Network or contributing in Fiat with a credit card or Apple Pay. Tune in for a riveting conversation that's bound to ignite your interest in Bitcoin mining!

This case should disturb all people concerned about the over-reach of a justice system. Like the Tornado cash case, it only reinforces the need for the protection of individual freedom through anonymity. Tor Ekland and Michael Hassard describe the case of Swedish-citizen Roman Sterlingov accused of administering the crypto-mixer Bitcoin Fog and laundering $330 Million of criminal proceeds through it over the course of a decade. But there isn't a single piece of evidence that Roman ever operated Bitcoin Fog. He was merely an innocent user of the service securing his privacy interests. Nothing about this case adds up except the profit motives of the investigators and companies involved.

Roman faces 50-years to life in prison based on speculative, uncorroborated, blockchain forensics conducted at desks thousands of miles away from Sweden.

Hear Roman's lawyers dissect this Kafkaesque nightmare and explain why everyone in the crypto community should be concerned about this American

A recent ruling by Finma, the Swiss financial regulator unexpectedly sparked discontent in the Swiss crypto community, The ruling in the form of an ordinance related to how much crypto currency an entity is allowed to buy without having to go through a KYC procedure. KYC stands for know your customer. It is a procedure intended to identify the real owner of assets and the origin of the assets. The ruling was contested by a small group led by Alex Roussel. He will give us context and explain why he contested it. In general Finma is well respected by the crypto community, but this event reveals how a small group can contest and shape legislation in Switzerland.

I talk to Micheal Svoboda, he is the COO of Liquity. Liquity is a collateralized back stable coin. It is backed by Ether. It is therefore completely different from Terra-Luna. Its closest relative is the Dai stable coin. However Liquity has 2 major advantages over Dai. First, it is interest free and second the minimum over collateralization rate is much lower, 110% compared to 150%.

Today I am pleased to talk to Harry Halpin. He is the CEO of Nym Technologies. Their goal is the end of mass surveillance. To do this they are developing the Nyn mixnet which is an anonymous overlay network that provides strong network-level anonymity, even in the face of powerful systems capable of passively monitoring an entire network. He will explain to us why it is important, why their solution goes further then existing solutions, and why he chose to build it in Switzerland

Nym mixnet is typically the type of project that we like to uncover. It is a great project, being developed in Switzerland and not that well known.

In this episode I speak to Olivia Dhordain and William Fauchoux. They have developed a solution to record the intellectual property of Richemont on the bitcoin blockchain. This project is very interesting because it is a perfect use case for using the bitcoin blockchain to do something else besides payments. It uses the blockchain to record data relating to intellectuel property in an objective, neutral and immutable database.
