Designing a crypto security system at a Swiss bank - Michele Federici

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.https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelefederici/https://michelefederici.comhttps://sig9.chSupport the Show.Become a subscriber and help support this podcast with fiat currency, credit card or Apple Payhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2058047/supporters/newIf you want to contribute to the podcast, you can listen to the episode in a lightning enabled podcast player and stream sats or send as a 1 off.

Satoshi Nakamoto ask me anything through GPT4

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 communicationI’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future.to cite a brilland article in Medium by Evan HatchLen Sassamandevoted 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.

Roman Sterlingov - Profits over Justice - Disturbing ChainAnalysis Based Prosecution

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 AmericanTimestamps:03:14 Who is Roman Sterlingov - back story08:20 MtGox, Chainanlysis - questionable data18:40 The targeting of Roman Sterlingov21:30 Cast of Characters35:52 Venue - Actions not committed in the USA42:45 Cost of defense, friction 44:20 Need for anonymitySupport the Show.Become a subscriber and help support this podcast with fiat currency, credit card or Apple Payhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2058047/supporters/newIf you want to contribute to the podcast, you can listen to the episode in a lightning enabled podcast player and stream sats or send as a 1 off.

Liquity, an Ether backed stable coin, created 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%.

Who made billions in crypto in 2021?

This episode is directed to angel investors and venture capitalists. If you are interested in getting an idea of the valuations of crypto firms, I ask the question; how much are Swiss crypto startups really worth?

I had a look and put some numbers together and we will see what my guests Mauro Cappiello and Alex Poltorak have to say about these valuations.If you enjoyed this episode, share this link on your favorite social networkshttps://anchor.fm/didier-borelor share the link you are listening to in your podcast nowVisit the website and support the podcast with BTC or fiathttps://www.theswissroadtocrypto.com/affiliate linksAndreas Antonopoulos - access to his shop, courses, books and goods - click link belowhttps://aantonop.com/shop/?raf=ref2475594This podcast is produced by Didier Borel.Copyright © *2020* *The Swiss Road to Crypto*, All rights reserved.Support the Show.Become a subscriber and help support this podcast with fiat currency, credit card or Apple Payhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2058047/supporters/newIf you want to contribute to the podcast, you can listen to the episode in a lightning enabled podcast player and stream sats or send as a 1 off.
