ZeroSync & Blockstream Satellite - Blockstream Talk #22
Welcome to Blockstream Talk. Today, we're talking to Robin Linus and Lucas George of Zero Sync, a nonprofit working on technology that allows for a compact cryptographic proof to substitute the hundreds of gigabytes of information that make up the Bitcoin blockchain. Meaning the entire history of Bitcoin could be validated in an instant rather than in hours or days and when combined with something like the Blockstream Satellite, the implications are pretty far reaching.
