Everything You Don't Understand About Bitcoin Development - MURCH (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

<p><em>"If someone wants to change Bitcoin in a way that is detrimental to even a minority of the Bitcoin users, they're probably going to be unsuccessful because there's going to be vehement pushback."</em></p> <p>On this <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/bitcoin-talk">Bitcoin Talk</a> episode of <em>THE Bitcoin Podcast</em>, <a href="https://x.com/walkeramerica">Walker</a> talks with <strong>MURCH</strong>. Murch is a computer scientist, engineer at Chaincode labs, co-host of Bitdevs and the Chaincode Podcast, and moderator of the bitcoin stack exchange, answering literally thousands of questions about Bitcoin over the years. Murch and I discuss the Bitcoin development process, changing vs maintaining Bitcoin, ossification, privacy trade-offs, address reuse, and potential improvements like silent payments, quantum resistance, bitcoin tail emissions, ZK Roll-Ups, covenants, and Layer 2 scalability solutions like Lightning, ecash, fedimint, etc, plus their trade-offs. Murch also reviews the upcoming Bitcoin Core 28 release and what it means for you.</p> <p>MURCH'S LINKS:</p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/murchandamus">https://x.com/murchandamus</a></p> <p>Nostr: npub1j5mp526z5fkz9wkrk6mt5nzu43xndyrwkr8mnqngdqwytgcpc5vqcnsd5c</p> <p><a href="https://bitdevs.org">https://bitdevs.org</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcast.chaincode.com">https://podcast.chaincode.com</a></p> <p>*****</p> <p>THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners -- use promo code WALKER for…</p> <p>> <a href="http://bitbox.swiss/walker">bitbox.swiss/walker</a> -- 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.</p> <p>> EFANI: Protect yourself from SIM swap attacks – go to <a href="https://www.efani.com/walker">https://www.efani.com/walker</a> and it’ll automatically apply the promo code WALKER getting you $99 OFF.</p> <p>> <a href="https://www.cloakedwireless.com/">Cloaked Wireless</a>: 25% OFF eSIM or physical SIM cards and protect yourself from SIM swap attacks.</p> <p>*****</p> <p><em>If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:</em></p> <p>Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on <a href="https://www.fountain.fm/show/68gcLZFDRxOzgGeZmXq6">Fountain</a> | <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bitcoin-podcast/id1694392423">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@walkerAmerica">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0f4Ke6gRTiLij0455nQjPH">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://highlighter.com/[email protected]">HIGHLIGHTER</a> | <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast"><strong>EVERYWHERE ELSE</strong></a></p> <p>Follow me (Walker) on <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerAmerica">Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica)</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TitcoinPodcast">Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/walker">Nostr Personal (walker)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8">Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)</a></p>
