[0:06] Casey Rodarmor: --BIP repository and they'll petition that a BIP fig beryllium assigned. If the connection is benignant of coherent and applicable to Bitcoin, the BIP exertion volition delegate a BIP fig and besides mightiness marque requests for editing oregon marque the papers much clear, and past the papers volition beryllium assigned a BIP fig and the propulsion petition volition beryllium merged into the repo.

I deliberation the astir important happening for radical to support successful caput erstwhile they are reasoning astir what is the BIP is to conscionable support successful caput that this is not a ceremonial process for what is accepted and implemented successful Bitcoin. If you travel up with conscionable an perfectly knuckle-draggingly moronic thought for Bitcoin, and it's reasonably well-formed, you tin use for a BIP number. And if it's applicable to Bitcoin and it's well-formed, the exertion volition delegate it a BIP fig and adhd it to the repository. It doesn't mean that anybody is going to instrumentality it. It doesn't mean that it's a bully idea. It's conscionable a ceremonial process that ideas for changes to Bitcoin spell done earlier they really are implemented by anybody.

The main intent is truthful that erstwhile radical spell to instrumentality a change, they're going to adhd it to Bitcoin core, possibly wallets are going to enactment it, past everybody knows, benignant of, what the alteration is and what it contains. Does it marque sense?

[1:44] Mark Goodwin: Yeah, I deliberation that was a precise bully explanation. It's a batch of consciousness to me.

[1:47] Casey: Fun Fact: if you spell backmost to BIP 1, the archetypal BIP, which describes the BIP process, it was projected by Amir Taaki, who is everybody's favourite revolutionary anarchist. I deliberation helium took up arms and went to combat successful Rojava and Syria, truthful that's a small heavy chopped from Bitcoins history.

There's thing other that radical request to cognize astir BIPs, which is that they don't get assigned an order. It doesn't spell BIP-1, 2, 3, 4, they get assigned according to a taxable area. And I don't retrieve what each the areas are but, for example, I cognize that the thrust concatenation proposal, I deliberation those were similar BIP-100, BIP-101, BIP-102, and I couldn't archer you what the different taxable areas are, but conscionable support successful caput that BIPs are not assigned sequentially. So, it's incredibly confusing trying to fig retired which BIP was proposed, and successful what order.

[2:44] Mark: Got you. So there's nary ordinal strategy to BIPs.

[2:48] Casey: That's right. Yeah.

[2:49] Mark: Roger that. All right. Well, past let's get into this peculiar one. So what is BIP-119 oregon different known arsenic OP_CTV.

[3:02] Casey: Yep. So, erstwhile you person wealth successful Bitcoin, you don't person immoderate equilibrium which is similar a fig that goes up and down. You person a acceptable of immoderate fig of outputs that you power and an output has immoderate worth successful satoshis and it besides has spending conditions, the conditions nether which that output tin beryllium spent. The spending conditions are encoded successful thing called Bitcoin Script, which is simply a precise elemental programming language. If anybody's familiar, it's precise akin to either 4th oregon PostScript. It's a precise simple, stack-based programming connection and you tin usage a publication to encode the conditions nether which an output tin beryllium spent.

So, 1 of the simplest forms of a information is the transaction that spends this output indispensable beryllium signed by this nationalist key. And truthful if you person a mean benignant of vanilla wallet, your wallet is going to clasp a clump of outputs that are encumbered by a spending information expressed successful Script, which says that they tin lone beryllium spent if a signature that matches your nationalist cardinal is provided truthful cipher tin walk them but you.

Bitcoin has a clump of unused opcodes, truthful these are things that presently bash nothing, and they're reserved for aboriginal extensions to the protocol. So, yet getting to BIP-119, what BIP-119 does is it redefines 1 of these opcodes that does nothing, and it fundamentally says, instrumentality the transaction that is similar nether information and hash definite parts of it. Things similar the bid and worth of the inputs, which inputs are used, the fastener time, the outputs, who the outputs are being spent to, oregon similar what the locking conditions of the outputs are etcetera. So, it takes the existent transaction and it takes each these bits of it and hashes it, and past it requires that that hash lucifer immoderate pre-existing, immoderate hash that's been encoded successful the spending script.

So, this is simply a precise analyzable mode of saying it, but basically, it says that the transaction that spends this output indispensable person a definite form, for example, which coins it spends-- sorry, coins and outputs, successful this case, are synonymous. Which outputs it spends, which outputs it creates, and however it allocates satoshis betwixt those antithetic outputs. The sanction OP_CTV stands for OP, which is cognition oregon opcode and CTV is Check Template Verify. I hide whether cheque oregon verify. Basically, it's called Check-Verify due to the fact that it checks the information and fails the publication if that information is not met and it's called Template due to the fact that this benignant of operation of properties of the transaction that it commits to is fundamentally a template for a transaction saying this pending transaction indispensable beryllium made according to this template, otherwise, you can't walk this coin. Does that marque sense?

[6:38] Mark: Yeah, absolutely. So, possibly 1 of these templates you mightiness telephone a covenant perhaps?

[6:45] Casey: That's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

[6:48] Mark: So, let's get into that a small spot and I cognize Jeremy conscionable joined, which is awesome. Hello, Jeremy. Thank you for joining us. We're going implicit the precise basics truthful consciousness escaped to leap successful and close america astatine immoderate point. But, yeah, let's get into what our covenants are, Casey, and however it relates to that benignant of template regularisation exemplary you're benignant of talking about.

[7:06] Casey: Yep. So, I mean, I'm utilizing the connection Template but you could besides accidental that it's a covenant. I benignant of similar the connection Template due to the fact that it's a small spot much affable and, to me, astatine least, it's a small spot much evocative of what the opcode is really doing. But I deliberation we should restrict ourselves to talking astir covenants, so, yeah, a covenant is immoderate regularisation that is placed connected immoderate coins. So, a precise elemental covenant is the benignant of spending information that I described before. Where, for example, you tin lone walk if you supply a signature, with immoderate nationalist key. That's similar a precise elemental covenant, right? It restricts however this coin whitethorn beryllium spent. And OP_CTV creates these transaction template covenants wherever it restricts different properties of the transaction.

Just to springiness a factual illustration of wherefore you would privation this, I deliberation the classical covenant illustration that is utilized for OP_CTV is that of a vault, truthful you person a clump of coins, you don't privation idiosyncratic to bargain those coins, but you bash privation to beryllium capable to walk them. So, you nonstop them into a vault and you usage OP_CTV successful the spending information for the vault outputs that you make and the spending information is that these coins, erstwhile you broadcast thing similar a spending transaction, you tin nonstop those coins oregon fto maine accidental this amended - you tin either nonstop those coins to a blistery wallet aft immoderate clip out, similar 2 weeks, oregon there's an alternate transaction that sends those coins to a acold wallet.

And truthful the thought is that the coins are successful the vault and you tin determination them to your spending wallet, but it's going to instrumentality immoderate clip and astatine immoderate clip portion they're moving to your spending wallet, you can, benignant of, claw them backmost into acold storage. And the thought is you're walking astir with your spending wallet, you bash a withdrawal from the vault to your spending wallet, but past it gets stolen by an attacker oregon malware, whatever. And so, you person clip to broadcast this alternate transaction that moves the coins backmost to your acold storage, which is similar determination that you deliberation is going to beryllium safe. So, this gives you the convenience that you tin get your funds out, and arsenic agelong arsenic your blistery wallet is not compromised oregon you person a week oregon 2 to broadcast this different transaction, your funds are going to beryllium safe.

[9:49] Guest 1: Hey, Casey, bash you privation to rapidly specify however that differs from Child-Pays-For-Parent oregon Replaced-By-Fee?

[9:58] Casey: Oh, sure. Yeah. So, Child-Pays-For-Parent and Replaced-By-Fee are some ways to regenerate transactions successful the mempool earlier they've been mined by miners. So, determination are ways to incentivize the miners to see 1 transaction implicit another. In immoderate cases, they tin beryllium utilized to benignant of forestall thing that you don't privation to beryllium mined from being mined but it's a proposition to the miners. It doesn't restrict them successful presumption of what they could do. So, successful this case, yeah, you could usage either 1 to benignant of effort to redirect funds, IE, similar you make a atrocious transaction, possibly you make different transaction that uses RBF to bash what you privation but it's not enforceable. And then, if this atrocious transaction that you would similar not to get mined is creating an output that an attacker controls, past they tin besides usage RBF and Child-Pays-For-Parent to effort to get the wealth to themselves. So, you and the attacker volition benignant of some beryllium bidding to effort to get the insignificant to excavation the transaction that you wanted. It's benignant of akin but it doesn't truly supply hard guarantees.

[11:21] Shinobi: Hey, Casey, existent speedy and close maine if I misheard this, I'm benignant of eating close now. But I deliberation I heard you notation to similar a normal, similar publication pov oregon similar a nationalist cardinal script, similar conscionable a accepted output encumbrance arsenic a covenant. I truly would not see immoderate benignant of Bitcoin publication a covenant, unless those encumbrance conditions are applied to aboriginal transactions. Because conscionable dealing with the output that exists present that allows it to beryllium freely spent, I would not definitionally telephone that a covenant. The full conception of a covenant is that it's restricting the aboriginal spending conditions erstwhile you spell to walk the existing output. And successful a mean nationalist cardinal script, you person to conscionable the information of providing a signature that matches that pov cardinal and verifies but you tin freely walk it everywhere.

The full conception of a covenant is that erstwhile you conscionable immoderate different spending condition, determination are inactive restrictions limiting wherever you tin walk it.

[12:35] Casey: That seems wholly tenable to me. I don't deliberation I've thought astir what the precise explanation of a covenant is, but I tin decidedly spot wherever you're coming from. Right? It's similar a mean Bitcoin Script determines however it tin beryllium unlocked and past a covenant says what you tin bash with it from there.

[13:02] Shinobi: Exactly. Yeah.

[13:05] Casey: Yep. That's a wholly good explanation that I'm perfectly comfy with.

[13:08] Mark: Speaking successful that tract close there, 1 of the often-discussed features of OP_CTV is the time-locked merchandise of funds with an example, benignant of being similar astatine the opening of the period for rent, you tin get a acceptable magnitude of satoshis sent to an accessible wallet, which gives you the quality to inactive entree erstwhile you request it knowingly but past also-- [crosstalk]

[13:36] Casey: Jeremy, I deliberation your transportation is benignant of bad.

[13:39] Shinobi: I'm sorry. Robot Jeremy, tin you enactment regular Jeremy connected the telephone with us?

[13:45] Mark: Bummer. Well, conscionable to benignant of decorativeness what I was saying. The question determination - however does this work, and wherefore would a idiosyncratic wage the interest to conception a transaction successful this mode to benignant of bounds the magnitude of interaction to their acold retention wallet? Why is this advantageous? Why would this beryllium a diagnostic used?

[14:10] Casey: So, 1 bully happening astir this OP_CTV vault operation is that they don't request to get their acold wallet online. In the mean people of things, a acold wallet stays offline, doesn't request to motion immoderate transactions, and lone successful the exigency lawsuit bash they request to bring their acold wallet online and motion transactions. So, that's great. Your acold wallet tin beryllium ace inconvenient. It tin beryllium dispersed nether rocks successful six antithetic nationalist parks oregon immoderate and ace unafraid and you can, yeah, conscionable usage your Bitcoin much comfortably successful a much unafraid way.

[14:48] Mark: One of the different notable sermon features is benignant of lovingly referred to arsenic like, congestion control, benignant of, interest marketplace throttle mechanics that allows for distributing evenly successful artifact abstraction fees. How precisely does OP_CTV let this to hap and marque it available? And wherefore would this beryllium a bully thing? Why would we privation this adjacent interest market?

[15:18] Casey: Right. The classical illustration is you person an speech and you person a full clump of users who person coins connected the speech and they privation to marque a withdrawal and they don't really truly attraction oregon they person assorted levels of sensitivity successful presumption of erstwhile they privation these coins to beryllium spendable by them. But what they each privation is they privation to marque definite that the coins volition beryllium spendable by them eventually. Like, earlier the withdrawal takes place, they're trusting the speech to process the withdrawal. So, alternatively of waiting but let's say, additionally, abstraction is constricted and fees connected the blockchain are precise high.

So, however OP_CTV tin assistance is the speech tin marque a azygous precise tiny transaction, that uses an OP_CTV spending condition, and that transaction is broadcast and mined instantly with a comparatively precocious interest rate, and that transaction utilizing OP_CTV benignant of commits to grow into 1 oregon much transactions that really wage retired each of the customers. So, imagine, determination are a 1000 customers, they each privation 1 Bitcoin disconnected of the exchange, the speech makes this 1 transaction that pays a 1000 Bitcoin to each of these 1000 users, but it doesn't really make those outputs yet. It conscionable commits to creating them successful the aboriginal and the vantage of doing this is that this archetypal transaction that commits to paying each the users is precise small.

And so, the speech tin wage a comparatively precocious interest complaint to get that transaction mined immediately, and erstwhile that transaction is mined, there's inactive different transaction that needs to beryllium broadcast for the users to really get those funds spendable successful their ain wallet, but those transactions nary longer are relying connected the exchange. You nary longer person to spot the speech that those transactions volition happen. The archetypal transaction that was mined commits to each of those transactions. So, those transactions tin hap aboriginal arsenic users privation them and hold for a little interest complaint play to get those transactions mined.

[17:41] Guest 2: So, conscionable to clarify existent quick, whereas present we person fundamentally 2 types oregon classes of transactions, similar successful the representation pool, and past confirmed, this would adhd a full caller people to the mempool which would beryllium those committed [inaudible] is that right?

[18:03] Casey: Yeah, benignant of. It doesn't truly adhd them. You wouldn't accidental that it adds this people of committed transactions to the mempool due to the fact that transactions are committed, they're mined, and they're not successful the mempool anymore. But, yeah, decidedly adds this 3rd people transaction state, which is this transaction is committed to beryllium mined and it tin beryllium mined whenever anybody broadcasts connected an due template transaction that satisfies this.

[18:37] Jeremy Rubin: Well, I mean, Casey, I'd spell a measurement further. It's conscionable guaranteed to happen. Unless that archetypal transaction is reorg retired of the blockchain, it is virtually intolerable for the descending transactions to not yet get mined due to the fact that that primitively committed output is lone spendable done those predefined transactions. So, arsenic soon arsenic that archetypal 1 is confirmed and has a bully magnitude of enactment connected apical of it, each of the ones descending from it are perfectly guaranteed to yet corroborate due to the fact that by consensus, literally, nary different transaction could ever walk that confirmed output.

[19:21] Casey: So, guaranteed conscionable seems similar specified a beardown word. For example, idiosyncratic does inactive request to beryllium holding onto the spending transaction, right? So, if the transaction that satisfies the template was mislaid and cipher was storing it, past those transactions would ne'er happen. So, I spot what you're saying, but like, guaranteed, man, guaranteed is simply a truly beardown word.

[19:48] Jeremy: As adjacent to guaranteed arsenic it could be. It's much guaranteed than a lightning transmission authorities successful that you tin inactive effort to double-spend a lightning transmission with antithetic states. But erstwhile you're utilizing CTV, determination is nary different valid mode to spend.

[20:05] Mark: Hey, erstwhile you person a UTXO, successful general, however bash you cognize that you tin walk it?

[20:10] Casey: Is this a rhetorical, philosophical question? Do you cognize that you tin fulfill the conditions of the spending script?

[20:17] Mark: Yeah, but until you've really spent it, you don't cognize that you could walk it.

[20:20] Casey: Because possibly there's been immoderate brushed enactment that you missed that alteration the statement rules?

[20:28] Mark: Sure. I mean, yeah, determination are tons of things that tin hap oregon possibly you suffer the cardinal successful the future, and past you can't bash it anymore. Maybe you're dormant for a agelong clip and past UTXO becomes truly fashionable and you don't retrieve wherever your coin was oregon possibly your wallet gets corrupted and past you spell get it from a backup and you don't person the latest caller descriptors that were derived earlier your beingness is backed up and present the money's gone. So, determination are tons of things that tin pb to issues successful this. And I deliberation it's 1 caller people of thing successful a abstraction of like, a batch of things that tin hap similar that but it's arsenic guaranteed arsenic thing if you person the accusation disposable to you astatine the clip that you're capable to estimation that you tin person that money successful the future.

[21:09] Casey: Yep. Yep. I mean oregon if it got insanely high, like, fees conscionable skyrocket and you're ne'er consenting to wage the fees to get it mined.

[21:16] Mark: Yeah. And past however would you walk Bitcoin successful the aboriginal arsenic good if you're not consenting to walk the fees for it?

[21:21] Casey: Right.

[21:22] [ads]

[23:20] Mark: Speaking of the interest marketplace dynamics here, I honestly can, possibly beryllium a devil's advocator here, spot wherefore radical person apprehension astir immoderate mechanics that appears to impact the interest marketplace dynamics of Bitcoin. Do you spot immoderate mode successful which this benignant of throttling mechanics could negatively interaction this earthy marketplace for artifact space? Is proviso and request curve smoothing a bully happening for the unfastened interest marketplace of Bitcoin?

[23:48] Casey: I don't deliberation I person a ace nuanced instrumentality connected this. It seems bully to me. It seems similar being capable to creaseless that request and avoiding spiky fees is good. A much reliable, little volatile interest complaint seems bully truthful that radical tin program up better, but I haven't thought astir it capable to deliberation that I person a heavy instrumentality connected this.

[24:22] Shinobi: I mean, successful the simplistic case, Mark, erstwhile you usage thing similar CTV and congestion power treaties, you’re benignant of locking yourself into a interest complaint due to the fact that you're committing to the nonstop hash of an nonstop transaction. And truthful that interest complaint has to beryllium specified. So, for each the transactions successful a congestion power histrion unfurling, that interest is locked in. The lone mode that you could change that would beryllium with similar Child-Pays-For-Parent if 1 of the outputs of 1 of them was freely unencumbered to beryllium spent anywhere. But to spell down a small spot of a rabbit hole, if you constitute CTV with Taproot, successful theory, you could person antithetic pat histrion spending paths that perpetrate to antithetic versions of a CTV congestion histrion astatine antithetic interest rates.

So, ultimately, you would either conscionable person this blob of transactions that each person interest rates locked successful that careless of wherever the highest interest was, they would beryllium successful the aforesaid interest complaint country of the mempool oregon if you privation to spell down a brainsick complexity rabbit hole, determination would beryllium the imaginable to person antithetic pat trees with antithetic CTV paths and scripts truthful that you could benignant of taxable whichever ones you privation based connected the interest you're consenting to wage and what the mempool is looking similar astatine the time.

[25:57] Casey: I deliberation you could besides see similar a small, anyone tin walk output that idiosyncratic tin usage to connect a Child-Pays-For-Parent similar astatine each signifier successful the unfurling, permission a small dangling output that tin beryllium utilized to bump the effect of a interest rate.

[26:15] Shinobi: Actually, I had not thought astir that earlier close now. Yeah, that would beryllium a batch simpler. It's nary punch of antithetic pat histrion paths.

[26:23] Jeremy: And I deliberation 1 happening that's important, too, is you tin play with the parameters connected thing similar that wherever you could do, like, let's accidental determination are 10 branching factors per node, truthful past the overhead of having one-off existent output is beauteous low. If it's 1 implicit 10.

[26:40] Mark: Sort of absorbing it seems to maine that covenants are benignant of restrictive by plan and yet, I deliberation there's a batch of fearfulness astir expanding conditions with the caller opcode bringing up these benignant of unforeseen onslaught vectors. Do you guys spot immoderate validity to this that could travel from specified implementation?

[27:02] Jeremy: No, not with OP_CTV. With different covenant designs, determination are imaginable worries of things you could bash similar get coins everlastingly stuck successful immoderate other spending information they could ne'er get retired of. But with CTV, due to the fact that you person to precisely specify an nonstop transaction up of time, it's benignant of intolerable to marque this wide covenant that you tin ne'er get retired of but radical tin inactive walk wealth astir due to the fact that it's not similar you tin person a CTV coin and past take wherever to walk it. It's already decided up of clip wherever it's going to beryllium spent. So, there's nary mode to bash weird things similar the covenant wherever the authorities has to motion disconnected connected each transaction you marque and can't contradict it. That's conscionable not imaginable to bash with CTV.

That's personally 1 of the things that I truly similar astir the connection is it's truthful narrowly defined and circumstantial that there's nary hazard of that benignant of happening being done with it.

[28:12] Casey: I deliberation it's besides conscionable worthy underlining however elemental OP_CTV is. It's a very, precise elemental opcode. It looks astatine the transaction that's being processed, it hashes immoderate bits of that transaction, and past it asserts that that hash is adjacent to the hash that it got is adjacent to immoderate pre-existing hash. It's not similar a benignant of weird, arbitrary, astute contracting mechanism. It's a precise highly elemental conception and I consciousness beauteous assured that not lone is it astir apt utile and astir apt tin beryllium utilized for the things that radical privation to bash with it, that's similar 1 part, but also, let's accidental that determination was thing incorrect with it, past everybody could conscionable disregard it. Everybody could conscionable spell backmost to not utilizing OP_CTV and your coins would not beryllium effectual and cipher tin someway unit you to judge an OP_CTV covenant that you didn't motion up for.

If you nonstop idiosyncratic an address, there's nary mode they tin nonstop funds to that code and besides encumber them with OP_CTV someway astatine the aforesaid time. So, it's wholly opt-in and if it's bad, you tin conscionable disregard it.

[29:33] Mark: Do you deliberation benignant of going disconnected that, this would beryllium a bully clip to specify what a recursive covenant is versus not recursive covenant?

[29:44] Casey: Sure. So, a recursive covenant is conscionable a covenant that is recursive - not adjuvant astatine all. Recursive meaning that you tin say, okay, I person this Covenant X and past erstwhile you tin fulfill the covenant, you tin bash something, but past immoderate oregon each of the coins request to past spell backmost to Covenant X. So, the benignant of classical scary illustration of an evil recursive covenant was, like, the authorities publishes an code and says, each coin present has to beryllium a multisig that includes this code and additionally whenever you walk from specified a multisig output, it's enforced successful the covenant that the funds besides person to person this malevolent authorities code arsenic a cosigner to the output. So, the covenant tin benignant of past indefinitely into the future.

OP_CTV does not alteration this conscionable by its precise nature. An OP_CTV covenant tin specify galore steps into the aboriginal but it can't specify an infinite fig of steps successful the future. After immoderate series of transactions being mined, the OP_CTV covenant terminates. It can't power what happens further down the line.

[31:09] Mark: Very cool. I conjecture conscionable to fto you know, we'll wrapper up the archetypal fractional hr and past I deliberation we should unfastened it up and benignant of speech astir the BIP process.

[31:17] Casey: Just spell ham, you know.

[31:19] Mark: Yeah. I anticipation everyone's sharpened their canines and their knives. No, conscionable kidding. All emotion here. But for me, I deliberation 1 of the absorbing parts of this statement is benignant of the ossification versus the necessity of invention and wherever we person to spell if we privation to serve, say, 5 cardinal radical connected the Bitcoin Network. So, however could this BIP let larger numbers of users to unfastened batch channels for Layer Two solutions successful a tiny magnitude of artifact space? How is this thing that tin assistance america scale?

[31:57] Shinobi: Well, I was conscionable getting my weapon sharp, Mark.

[32:01] Mark: Good. Good, Shinobi. Get ready.

[32:04] Shinobi: One of the biggest shortcomings with lightning is the regulation connected opening and closing channels and determination is conscionable nary mode astir that. If that bottleneck gets excessively large, past lightning conscionable hits a scaling ceiling. So, CTV cannot-- I mean, Jeremy tin astir apt spitball and get into and assistance with closing channels. But arsenic acold arsenic what he's got written up and designed close now, they could perfectly assistance unfastened channels and it's virtually conscionable everything astir however a congestion power histrion works, it's conscionable utilizing that, but astatine the extremity of that histrion unfurling and everybody yet having unilateral power implicit their coins, they're conscionable Lightning channels, alternatively of each the coins winding up successful a azygous sig address. And it tin beryllium a batch much beneficial than conscionable a mean withdrawal histrion due to the fact that erstwhile that archetypal output is confirmed, you tin efficaciously dainty those lightning channels arsenic unfastened and you tin usage them because, eventually, that histrion of transactions is going to unfurl, unchain, and each get confirmed. And past those idiosyncratic UTXOs that are lightning channels volition really beryllium confirmed on-chain.

And so, like, determination are inactive potentially, issues, truly annoying shit, similar if your transmission counterparty stops responding to you portion you can't spell adjacent the transmission until the histrion starts oregon finishes unfurling. But arsenic agelong arsenic your transmission counterparty is cooperative, the infinitesimal that archetypal output successful the opening of that congestion power histrion is confirmed to the extent that you necessitate for a mean lightning channel, you tin dainty each of the channels that that azygous output is committing to arsenic unfastened and you tin commencement utilizing them. So, it massively increases the scalability of onboarding radical onto the lightning network. And that, I think, personally, is 1 of the biggest benefits of CTV. That is the astir effective, impactful usage lawsuit that I deliberation personally comes retired of that.

[34:37] Mark: Do you deliberation close now, Shinobi, that Bitcoin could work the full satellite without an further opcode? Or I conjecture conscionable further improvement beyond conscionable existent operational upkeep?

[34:49] Shinobi: No. If Bitcoin froze wherever it is close present past the world is 95% of radical connected this satellite are going to beryllium utilizing custodians, they're not going to beryllium capable to lick custody of their ain coins, and that's conscionable the harsh reality. I deliberation that Bitcoin yet does person to ossify to beryllium unafraid neutral money, but if that happens close now, buss the full thought of an full satellite of radical aforesaid custodying their ain coins and dealing with things successful a self-sovereign mode goodbye.

[35:27] Mark: Yep. I mean, if radical get priced retired of main concatenation transactions that volition surely happen, unfortunately. Well, not surely happen, but surely imaginable happening. All right. Well, I say, let's unfastened things up.

[35:42] Casey: Can I ramble for a infinitesimal astir Bitcoin governance?

[35:45] Mark: Please.

[35:46] Shinobi: Can anyone halt you?

[35:48] Casey: No, cipher tin halt me. Actually, they can. I'm not a co-host. So, I deliberation it's conscionable truly absorbing to speech astir what is Bitcoin's governance process and it's precise chaotic and precise messy, and I deliberation that that is precise overmuch a bully thing. Bitcoin conscionable has each of these antithetic stakeholders, it has users, it has developers, it has miners, it has exchanges, it has services, it has custody providers, it has each sorts of radical doing each sorts of brainsick things. The BIP process is benignant of the lone ceremonial spot of governance that Bitcoin has and it's a precise anemic signifier of governance. It's not truly determination to archer anybody to bash things. It's conscionable determination to benignant of archer everybody the things that they mightiness privation to do. And I deliberation that this is really benignant of good.

If you deliberation astir immoderate benignant of ceremonial process that you mightiness ideate for Bitcoin, immoderate benignant of ballot oregon immoderate benignant of board, oregon immoderate benignant of miner voting oregon impervious of stake, horrible, whatever. Any 1 of those processes is going to enshrine the quality to ramrod done a not large oregon a benignant of contentious connection if capable radical hold to it. The existent Bitcoin process which Jeremy is presently up to his knees successful is this precise messy happening wherever you benignant of person to explicate your thought and explicate wherefore you deliberation it's a bully idea, find radical who privation to usage it, explicate to them however it tin payment them, instrumentality the code, constitute the spec, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. But astatine the extremity of the day, there's nary 1 enactment that tin ram it done oregon nary authoritative entity that you tin entreaty to, to marque your alteration happen.

And truthful that means that like, yeah, you benignant of person to get this wide nebulous statement of capable radical and capable stakeholders, and if immoderate 1 stakeholder, and by stakeholder, I don't mean individuals. But if anyone large benignant of radical of Bitcoin interests, truly hates it, they tin halt it from going done to immoderate extent. And I deliberation this is truly good. But 1 occupation with it is we bash spot the concern close present where, not to editorialize, but I deliberation BIT-119 is great. I similar it. I deliberation it's simple. And determination isn't a wide way for it to get into Bitcoin, but that's benignant of due to the fact that there's nary wide way for thing to get into Bitcoin. That's good but, yeah, besides got to woody with immoderate of the inconveniences that that poses. So, yeah, ramble over.

[38:40] Shinobi: Well, to respond to that with different ramble. Maybe the past six oregon 7 years, this is however I've thought astir however Bitcoin "governance" works. Bitcoin is conscionable a mob. It's virtually a mob of radical presently engaged successful a mindless happening successful 1 absorption and successful bid to alteration Bitcoin, you person to get up determination and person the mob to bash thing other without getting skewered alive, yeah, and that's conscionable however that works. It's full anarchy. Sometimes possibly beating your caput connected the partition for a agelong clip person the mob to bash something, possibly sometimes you tin get a tiny fraction of the mob to interruption disconnected and spell signifier different one, and sometimes you get skewered alive.

[39:40] Guest 3: If I whitethorn interject there. I possibly funny to get my thoughts due to the fact that it seems similar a batch of the objections currently, I cognize we haven't truly talked astir contention successful this speech astir controversy, but it's astir method statement successful the thought that CTV doesn't person method consensus.

[39:57] Casey: Yeah. I mean, the developers are besides successful the mob, right? So, that's what method convinces is. It's similar talking to the mob of developers and trying to person them what to do.

[40:09] Guest 3: Well, it seems similar the inference with the method statement is thing that happens earlier idiosyncratic consensus, right? Like, I mean, it seems from similar my speechmaking betwixt the lines with the assorted threads and telegram channels, I don't cognize if you guys would hold with that, but determination seems to beryllium this overwhelming benignant of dependable from the benignant of older radical of developers that determination needs to beryllium immoderate benignant of method consensus, and past there's idiosyncratic statement and past there's that bid of cognition and it's that bid of operations that's peculiarly successful usurpation here.

[40:39] Jeremy: Hang on. I americium precise definite that I had a method consensus. I americium precise uncertain what method statement is but I'm precise definite that I person it for CTV and I deliberation that's thing that's similar a weird presumption to beryllium successful but there's not truly a rigorous explanation of it. And there's besides not truly a rigorous explanation of what threshold to these things you're expected to beryllium seeking and determination are different parties that substance different than conscionable similar developers decided and present it's thing that's acceptable to go. One conception that I truly similar to bring up is, successful Judaism, if you are doing a rabbinic tribunal to determine if idiosyncratic should beryllium enactment to death, conscionable a small spot similar a brushed work, right? If we're deciding that we're going to enactment the existing mentation of Bitcoin to decease permanently and we're gonna person a caller mentation of Bitcoin.

If 1 of the radical successful that tribunal doesn't accidental that this idiosyncratic should not beryllium enactment to death, they get to spell escaped due to the fact that each beingness has immoderate redeeming spot that should happen. In the aforesaid way, each bundle has immoderate crushed wherefore it truly shouldn't happen. If cipher tin travel up with a crushed that's compelling that it shouldn't happen, past astir apt there's excessively overmuch groupthink, and we've not done an existent occupation of thoroughly evaluating this happening due to the fact that we each hold connected however it should be. Actually, sometimes descent means that radical person enactment thorough thought into really considering the reasons wherefore idiosyncratic mightiness not similar something, and erstwhile you spot excessively overmuch consent, consent is not consensus. It means, possibly there's groupthink going on.

And erstwhile I evaluated CTV nether this regard, what I saw was crossed the board. The experts who you mightiness privation to talk to astir this who person really spent the clip reasoning astir this issue, each fundamentally had astir the aforesaid line, which is, well, CTV seems okay, but it's benignant of a subset of the things that I'm funny successful and I'm not affirmative that the applications built connected it volition beryllium sufficiently absorbing for what I would similar to build, right? So, nether that lens, nary of the experts had an existent contented with CTV arsenic an implementation. Any contented like, oh, this is going to interruption this, oregon I deliberation this volition person an contented with immoderate facet of thing else. It was just, "Oh, well, possibly I'd privation thing other successful a mates of years," and that's not rival with CTV.

That's conscionable like, okay, well, now, it's truly a question present that this signifier of method consensus, which is simply a signifier of acceptability has been reached, now, it's a question of, well, is this thing if you're saying cipher wants to physique connected this, now, is this thing different radical privation to physique on? And if radical bash privation to physique meaningful things connected it, past cowabunga, let's go. That's method consensus, let's spot what the marketplace wants. And what happened, successful this case, I believe, is simply a clump of mediate manager method experts popped up saying, "This does not person method consensus. This does not person method consensus," without adjacent truly defining precisely what that means. And that's benignant of wherever radical past got this thought that determination wasn't a method statement alternatively than really making an honorable effort astatine evaluating what different radical had really evaluated and wherefore I was speechmaking method statement from the connection of different radical who are progressive successful the method treatment truthful far.

[43:43] Shinobi: I mean, to physique disconnected that, Jeremy, what comes to my caput is the full thought of unsmooth statement from the IETF and the full ground of that has perfectly thing to bash with voting oregon a fig of radical who o.k. oregon disapprove. It is wholly astir important worldly disapproval and whether that disapproval has been capable to beryllium addressed oregon not. And the full conception is that - nary substance however galore oregon however fewer radical raised disapproval of something, if that disapproval has been really addressed and shown to not beryllium a valid criticism, past thing is considered to person a unsmooth consensus. And I person not seen immoderate valid disapproval against CTV but we tin bash better. And if that's the full argument, well, past that brings up the full question of - well, however agelong bash we beryllium astir and wait? How galore times tin radical conscionable popular up astatine the past second, go, here's thing that could beryllium amended and conscionable support doing that advertisement infinitum earlier we go, "This is enough."

[44:59] Jeremy: Hold on. Let's conscionable accidental astir regular Bitcoiners were against and who cares astir whoever's the astir influential radical are, and adjacent immoderate method statement means. If astir regular Bitcoiners, radical that had gone connected spaces, spell to Bitcoin meetups that you conscionable astatine a conference. You cognize what? We don't similar the thought of, benignant of, possibly it's cool, possibly it's not. [crosstalk]

[45:32] Shinobi: Do you deliberation that's not a negative? Do you deliberation that's conscionable similar who cares oregon is that considered a antagonistic to you successful the process of consensus?

[45:39] Jeremy: I mean, basically, astatine that point, past they tin marque their prime of what to tally oregon not to run, and that is the users accidental who is not a method idiosyncratic who is not going to get progressive successful critiquing these things. Like, I'm sorry, dude. I utilized to beryllium precise sympathetic to that statement aft Taproot, conscionable no. With each the hoo-ha astir Taproot and past aft it was activated, astir of the radical I spot successful this abstraction person nary fucking hint however it works, thing astir it. They were conscionable repeating selling income pitches similar nonsense without immoderate existent knowing of what it tin do, what it can't do, however it really works.

The world is astir users person nary fucking hint however immoderate of this crap enactment oregon the method world of it. They person their choice, which is what to tally oregon not to run.

[46:37] Pete Rizzo: So, is method consensus, successful your opinion, there's nary issue, like, there's thing incorrect with it oregon it's method statement that this is 100% bully due to the fact that it seems similar that's each this mean, right? Some radical deliberation statement thinks, this is great, everybody loves it, and immoderate radical deliberation unsmooth statement is, there's nary problems. It sounds similar that's what you're asserting, your guys's definition.

[47:01] Jeremy: Well, I deliberation astatine slightest successful arsenic acold arsenic I tin spot it, I presumption the marketplace successful the wide acceptable of folks who beryllium successful this abstraction is determining immoderate benignant of roadmap of what types of mode Bitcoin should beryllium moving and I bash not judge that is simply a happening that is successful the hands of developers who bash method consensus. I deliberation developers work what the marketplace should beryllium wanting and it asked for people, similar however galore times person you had a developer approached you and beryllium like, "Hey, however tin Bitcoin lick problems for you? Like what's not happening successful Bitcoin close now? And what are the issues that you look that you consciousness are not things you tin lick it the exertion layer?" And successful that benignant of a happening that you work from the ecosystem and past developers nutrient solutions for that and find if those solutions are capable for what the marketplace needs.

I don't deliberation that it's a clump of radical who jerk astir each time and travel up with fancy toys and past enactment them connected the marketplace and spot if they bash well. To me, you whitethorn each hold connected what the happening is to enactment retired but truly a batch of the process is successful uncovering what the merchandise statement is, what radical need, and what's going to really lick problems and past determining if you tin vessel a solution. It's not astir getting everybody connected committee with the happening they're astir excited about.

[48:20] Guest 4: Yeah. So, Jeremy, I'm curious. I'm funny for you to hold with maine connected this. And Pete, this ties into your question arsenic well. So, I think, successful your explanation of method statement versus merchandise consensus, the enactment to maine seems to beryllium method statement is - tin we hold that this caller alteration does nary harm, right? There's nary downside that this is similar a good solution to a occupation and that it decidedly doesn't harm and users of the protocol. Have you guys similar benignant of similar checkbox 1 and past and I bash deliberation really CTV mostly is determination and past it's benignant of similar checkbox 2 which is, is this the champion wherever champion is precise comparative babelike connected what your priorities are, is this is the champion mode to execute this successful Bitcoin? Would you hold that that's benignant of similar the favoritism that we're successful close now?

[49:12] Jeremy: Yeah. I deliberation truthful and I deliberation a batch of wherever that gets tricky is there's similar constricted attraction and constricted clip and if they're not rival astatine a protocol level, their rival successful presumption of what radical walk clip moving on.

[49:27] Guest 4: Yeah, and truthful on those lines, 1 happening that has go beauteous wide passim the past mates of months of treatment is connected a benignant of what applications bash we deliberation are astir invaluable for covenants to enable? It seems similar there's similar wide statement being an overloaded word, but wide statement astatine slightest that the 2 types of applications are vaults and past outgo pools. CTV does those some fine, there's moving codification for some of them successful CPO, but I bash deliberation we've released-- that has successfully been shifted to wherever it's similar covenants are good. It's good to privation covenants. And CTV is simply a non-harmful mode to bash covenants. Right? And present we have, I deliberation this caller 3rd thing, which is the covenant that we introduced should nutrient truly bully vaults and truly bully outgo pools, right? I deliberation that's benignant of similar the existent state, which is to beryllium fair, worlds farther. We don't person immoderate of that statement a twelvemonth ago, right? So, the speech has been moved rather a bit, which I deliberation is great.

[50:40] [ads]

[51:29] Mark: I wanted to inquire a question. Just erstwhile we're talking astir similar constituent 1 of - we're agreeing that CTV does not origin immoderate harm. I deliberation this has been answered and successful my rudimentary knowing of it close now, this is 1 of the things that I've peculiarly not kept up with astatine all. Covenants and CTV lately is conscionable benignant of been this large blank abstraction for me. The 1 happening that I consciousness similar a batch of the conversations connected Twitter astir covenants person been, is this thought of encumbering different people's addresses? Like determination was a tweet contiguous oregon something, idiosyncratic was saying, oh, there's a caller instrumentality and the authorities says that, you were lone going to beryllium capable to reset Bitcoin--

[52:16] Jeremy: That's not possible. That's conscionable not imaginable with CTV. You could with different covenants, but not CTV.

[52:25] Mark: Yeah, I mean, I deliberation it's a terminology issue.

[52:32] Jeremy: Specifically though the distinguishing betwixt the example, due to the fact that different radical were saying, oh, you tin conscionable necessitate that you person similar a authorities multisig oregon whatever. It's like, well, nary shit. You got a instrumentality that said immoderate anserine thing, right? And it seems similar this is evidently should beryllium the lawsuit but if I springiness them my code that I generated from my keys and my wallet with immoderate publication I wanted and springiness it to them, it cannot beryllium encumbered with immoderate different CTV restriction. It's conscionable my code and my control, correct? If they agreed to retreat to it.

[53:14] Casey: Yeah, erstwhile you springiness idiosyncratic an address--

[53:16] Jeremy: That's already encumbered with everything, right?

[53:17] Casey: Yeah. Exactly. That code encodes oregon commits to the Bitcoin publication that volition walk those coins. So they cannot wage you to that code without utilizing your script, which means that you specify, which means they cannot instrumentality OP_CTV successful determination without making it fundamentally paying to a antithetic code which is not the code you gave them. In that case, beryllium sending you the coins.

[53:46] Mark: It didn't look similar that could perchance beryllium the case, conscionable connected my knowing of that, but due to the fact that I didn't rather know, I didn't truly recognize however a covenant would enactment immoderate mode that you could encumber things aboriginal down the road. I was admittedly similar a small bit, like, "But how?"

[54:03] Jeremy: Also, I think, this is what a batch of the plebs, maybe, don't get, is that they deliberation that they person formed a beardown anti-consensus acceptable with the method statement committee bureau oregon whatever, like, oh, CTV is not the happening but I deliberation what's not truly being realized oregon astatine slightest similar intelligibly explained is that the reasons wherefore wide pleb benignant are like, "Let's not unreserved this happening in. Let's deliberation astir it more," is precisely due to the fact that there's a interest astir introducing immoderate of these truly blase analyzable things that person a monolithic societal hazard for what Bitcoin volition look like. And past astir universally, determination is method statement among the method wizards that we should person full-blown, pie-in-the-sky covenants. It's conscionable a substance of clip until we find the 1 that we similar capable to advocate.

And I deliberation that radical don't needfully spot the tempest brewing astir that question that it is not thing arsenic acold arsenic I tin archer talking to a lot, a batch of Bitcoin users is desired. People privation Bitcoin to beryllium the dependable money, strongest store of worth possible. They bash not attraction astir having each imaginable fucking application. What they bash attraction astir is having dependable wealth and having a standard to the largest fig of radical imaginable without violating the soundness of the system. And that's truly wherever thing similar CTV and determination are different possibilities for things that tin capable successful gaps similar that. It is simply a waypoint of not introducing astir thing much than is already imaginable contiguous with the worst spot assumptions, but inactive doing thing beauteous utile that's similar a covenant.

Anything more, you bash commencement getting into the territory that you're talking about. And it's a hard trade-off space, but I don't deliberation radical cognize wherefore they hold to disagree implicit CTV. I don't deliberation they recognize that the mode that the halfway improvement process oregon immoderate method statement process is starring is into thing that's much, much, overmuch much analyzable and has immoderate of these antagonistic trade-offs for similar the what is Bitcoin question. Bitcoin is inactive going to look similar Bitcoin with CTV but these different things volition beryllium a precise antithetic benignant of system.

[56:19] Shinobi: To construe that to pleb existent quick, anybody disquieted astir weird crap similar the authorities forcing coins into immoderate magic publication wherever the authorities has to motion disconnected connected everything, and those coins tin ne'er flight that, it is perfectly intolerable for CTV to bash that. All the developers arguing against CTV are not arguing against CTV to debar things similar that. They are arguing against CTV due to the fact that they privation much analyzable covenants that determination person and person to things similar that being possible. Now, that does not mean that each different covenant connection retired determination enables things similar that, but that's the absorption that method developers privation to spell is person to things similar that being possible.

[57:18] Jeremy: And the mode that we typically dealt with this benignant of contention successful the past with Bitcoin is by being patient. If capable radical privation to look astatine different worldly and spot however it compares oregon whatever, similar the happening that solves that is time, and 1 of the biggest things I'm hearing, and 1 of the biggest reasons there's contention isn't due to the fact that I'm proceeding anybody say, like, "You cognize what, screw CTV, we privation this instead." I'm not truly proceeding that. What I'm proceeding is really, "We request clip truthful that radical tin see different things and CTV itself arsenic well."

I mean, sure, CTV is solid, and beauteous overmuch everybody agrees CTV is coagulated but the happening that I perceive radical are saying a batch is they consciousness similar we request much clip successful general, adjacent astatine wide plebs. We conscionable got Taproot. It's truthful abbreviated and you think, well, who cares? Like logically if you're conscionable being logical, who cares? It's good. People similar it. It's not risky technically. Let's conscionable bash it. Who cares that ?it's not been a agelong time. I deliberation radical bash care. And I deliberation it matters.

[58:14] Casey: The complexity of different solutions and the simplicity of OP_CTV. None of the different things that person been projected oregon are benignant of considered arsenic alternate covenants person the unthinkable bang-for-buck ratio of OP_CTV. OP_CTV is conscionable truthful simple. It's similar caveman exertion and I mean that similar successful the champion imaginable way. It has limitations, but everything that's benignant of much flexible, winds up, being way, way, way, way, mode much complicated. I deliberation adjacent if idiosyncratic came up with a much featureful covenant proposal, I deliberation there's a bully accidental that I would inactive similar to besides person OP_CTV truthful that I could opt for that unthinkable simplicity erstwhile I didn't request those much featureful things of whatever, immoderate arbitrary aboriginal coming that strategy tin give.

And that, I deliberation is an statement against wherefore it's not similar the benignant of conscionable hold and spot argument, isn't ace compelling for me. It's that, yeah, possibly idiosyncratic volition travel up with something, idiosyncratic other aft a batch of development. But that happening volition decidedly beryllium mode much analyzable than OP_CTV.

[59:28] Shinobi: Let me, truly quick, to respond to what Casey was saying. Bitcoin changing is threading a needle. Yes, alteration should beryllium approached cautiously, things should beryllium analyzed thoroughly, and things should not conscionable beryllium done whimsically, but conscionable look astatine wage to publication hash, CLTV, and however rapidly and easy those changes went done versus things similar SUG would, similar Taproot. Bitcoin is growing. It's getting bigger. And the bigger it grows, the much difficult, the much time-consuming, the much friction determination volition beryllium to changes. And it's conscionable a elemental world close now. Bitcoin arsenic it is volition not beryllium a self-sovereign wealth for radical successful the world. It does not scale. It cannot execute that extremity arsenic Bitcoin is close present that is simply a tube imagination and we volition spot however the prognosis from 2010 play retired if it froze close here, close now.

Everybody's going to beryllium utilizing banks. No one's going to beryllium self-custodying their ain money, cipher is going to person the state that that quality affords. So it's threading the needle, it's uncovering the equilibrium betwixt those 2 things. We person to attack alteration cautiously and really deliberation it through, but we can't conscionable beryllium present connected our asses and unreal similar we tin conscionable hold forever. Because that time if Bitcoin is going to enactment volition travel wherever it's conscionable not changeable anymore. And if it isn't scalable enough, by the clip that time comes, past we are not going to person self-sovereign wealth for people. That's not going to happen.

[61:21] Casey: I truly don't attraction astir similar the past 5 percent of people, I'm gonna inactive beryllium capable to usage Bitcoin precisely the mode it is forever.

[61:30] Shinobi: No, you won't, Casey. That's a fucking delusional tube dream.

[61:33] Marshall: So, arsenic a feline who tried to, I conjecture you could telephone it halfway people successful my erstwhile beingness would marque it rather a classic. I'll archer you my optics are these - radical gave the same, oh, we request to wait. It's similar impossibly much analyzable and it got successful due to the fact that Peter Wool was a homey of everybody else. Jeremy has pissed connected a batch of people. He's pissed a batch of radical disconnected due to the fact that that's conscionable however the improvement assemblage works. If you person committee entree and you're not successful the Homeboy Network, it's conscionable a batch harder for you to get crap through. CLTV by Greg and Peter, they're successful the Homeboy Network, it's easier to get crap through. That is conscionable the quality of Open Source Development, Bitcoin, Linux, whatever. The information is, this is much benignant of developers bitching and pissing connected each different than thing other careless of the facade of, oh, it's excessively analyzable or, oh, we request much time. That's the world arsenic I spot it.

I deliberation the codification is great. It's been afloat audited. Jeremy has enactment the wealth wherever his rima is, nobody's assertion the bounty. Nobody truly has crap to say. The excuse of, oh, we conscionable got Taproot. You got Taproot due to the fact that the miners were fucking paying attention. Most of the time, we're dormant astatine the wheel. I mean, let's beryllium honest. That being said, like, that's not a bully crushed to not bash something, and Jeremy and I talked a batch astir this and it's up to him to self-market. And that's a large portion of what this room's about.

And truthful successful my opinion, arsenic my past successful Bitcoin, it's much astir who likes you and the perpetrate database and who doesn't similar you. That's conscionable benignant of the authorities arsenic I spot it.

[63:18] Mark: Yeah, I deliberation that's a bully spot. I'm not going to adjacent it out. I privation different 25 minutes for questions from the audience. So if the speakers connected signifier don't mind, I'm going to commencement pulling radical up. Try and marque it brief, inquire your question, support it connected taxable astir CTV, and past we'll person the radical connected signifier talk astir it.

[63:35] Guy Swann: Can I accidental 1 happening existent quick?

[63:37] Mark: Yeah, spell ahead, Guy.

[63:39] Guy: In the information of its controversy, I truly deliberation the crushed that's drummed up truthful overmuch controversy, not specifically successful the developer community, but conscionable due to the fact that conscionable successful the pleb and Twitter successful general, is that cipher knows what the hellhole it is. Like I inactive deliberation similar we conscionable barely-- I mean however galore years truly did we walk conscionable explaining the basics of Taproot and CTV, there's been tons of talks of covenants and worldly similar the dev database and worldly similar erstwhile I spell done each that, but adjacent I person conscionable been benignant of brushing implicit it due to the fact that there's conscionable truthful overmuch of the different crap to spell over. And so, what was a precise basal question was thing that I truly didn't know. And the not very, precise naive presumption of erstwhile idiosyncratic says, oh, you tin encumber further transactions successful the aboriginal with what it tin do, sounds similar it could beryllium a atrocious thing. So, I deliberation a batch of it is conscionable cipher knows what the hell's going on.

Generally, everybody's ignorant and nobody's got immoderate clip to screen each this worldly but for the radical who bash this each damn day.

[64:47] Jeremy: So, I deliberation 1 happening I conscionable privation to adhd is that erstwhile I designed CTV, I virtually designed it with that interest successful mind, truthful I wasn't putting thing retired to past measure against, oh, bash we bash bully capable for this? That was virtually what I had successful mind. People don't privation covenants for this crushed fto maine marque something. And that's wherefore it's benignant of, successful a small spot of a weird spot. And past successful presumption of timeline, similar CTV specification was finished 9 months earlier Taproot's spec was finished and the codification has been done since past arsenic well. And a batch of wherefore it was not much successful the nationalist oculus for the past portion was people, benignant of, I'm not going to accidental the connection 'threatened' but benignant of enactment a batch of unit connected maine that if I talked astir CTV excessively overmuch earlier Taproot got done that I was going to destabilize the process that would pb to Taproot. It was going to beryllium connected my backmost that Taproot failed to get through.

So, I beryllium down, unopen up, I didn't marque complaints that I wanted to marque astir Taproot and I helped get Taproot activated, truthful that then, I would say, okay, present I tin enactment connected CTV. Now, radical crook astir and say, "Thanks for each the help, Motherfucker, get retired of here, get distant with your thing." And it's like, "Dude, I virtually conscionable assistance you get your things done truthful that I could similar assistance get this happening done like, okay." And they're like, oh, but present the barroom should beryllium adjacent higher. I'm like, each right, chill, I'll amusement you much work. I'll amusement you much enactment products. I'll marque it better. I'm good with each that, but I deliberation radical conscionable don't truly admit what the existent process has been from my perspective, which is beauteous freaking dysfunctional.

[66:22] Mark: For sure. Hudson had his manus up a agelong clip agone astatine the opening of this. So I conscionable wanted to marque definite you got a accidental to talk there, brother.

[66:30] Hudson: Thanks truthful much. Yeah, so, I'm Hudson. I'll bash a speedy question. And basically, my inheritance is I did immoderate authorities worldly successful acheronian coin was benignant of aboriginal Bitcoin but not ace progressive successful the dev astatine the clip due to the fact that I was successful assemblage and past did Ethereum EIP, which is similar BIP but for Ethereum, I was the pb editor.

[66:48] Guest 5: Hudson, tin you speech conscionable astir Bitcoin, nary different coins, please. Thank you.

[66:52] Mark: No, bent on, fto him speak. This is simply a precise respected idiosyncratic who's sharing contented and I privation to larn thing that helium has to share.

[66:59] Hudson: Yes. I'm not astir to comparison though. This is much conscionable I really learned from the BIP process and stuff. So, that's wherefore I was here. But, yeah, I understand. I wholly get it. So, yeah, fundamentally from looking astatine Leekens' latest thread wherever they benignant of discussed, hey, what's going connected with CTV? A batch of what I saw were radical who were semi-prominent wrong the Bitcoin Development Community benignant of shitting connected Jeremy and I looked into that a small spot more, and what truly bothered maine astir that was that, was conscionable similar Marshall said. What Marshall said earlier is fundamentally the summary of what I'm astir to say, which is similar it's similar an Insider's Club. Like if they're going to archer Jeremy that they're not doing the close process oregon they broke immoderate unspoken rule, wherefore can't Luke Dash Jr. marque an alternate Taproot implementation they propulsion retired wide and past expect that to spell good and inactive person each these precise high-level accesses to get hub repos they've had for years.

It's similar they similar shush the brainsick person, and conscionable fto him bash his happening due to the fact that they don't privation to beryllium governmental oregon origin conflict. But arsenic agelong arsenic radical similar Luke and others who are problematic wrong Bitcoin oregon allowed to person that level of leadership, that's benignant of a grounds of a bigger basal occupation of a deficiency of accountability, a deficiency of process for however to get these things done. So, that's conscionable benignant of what I was reasoning connected that. But who other has a remark particularly it's much into Bitcoin due to the fact that wherefore is this happening?

[68:22] Ryan Gentry: I mean, Hudson, I wouldn't accidental precisely from my constituent of presumption that it's similar the Old Boys' Club and you're conscionable successful the nine oregon not. I would conscionable accidental it's much of a merchandise of things getting bigger, the stakes getting bigger, and radical being much paranoid, much skeptical, and conscionable much analytical of radical getting involved. Like, I bash not spot this arsenic similar an Old Boys Club that you're either a subordinate of oregon not. I conscionable spot this arsenic having gotten to the constituent wherever the grade of spot and respect amongst antithetic groups oregon antithetic individuals successful this radical who even, with that respect and that spot there, inactive are precise animus betwixt each different astatine times and truly get into it. It conscionable takes clip to physique that benignant of trust. And I deliberation the bigger Bitcoin gets, the much clip that's going to instrumentality due to the fact that radical are going to beryllium much skeptical, much paranoid due to the fact that the stakes support getting bigger.

[69:34] Guest 5: Ryan, that's not true. Jeremy has been a halfway dev for longer than damn adjacent anybody else. That's not true. That's conscionable not true.

[69:41] Hudson: Well, I conjecture the different happening is like, even, you tin look astatine the analytics of it. Like, yeah, Jeremy's had commenced for a while, has had bully code, ne'er done thing malicious, but besides similar from the Bitcoin devs that I perceive astir similar they'll beryllium successful groups of radical from antithetic cryptos and speech to them and beryllium like, "Yeah, I person this opinion, truthful and so," it mightiness beryllium either anti-Bitcoin, it mightiness beryllium pro different crypto, nd past they'll accidental like, "But don't notation that I said this," and it's benignant of similar successful a vein of like, well, wait, why? And it's like, "Well, I can't accidental that connected Twitter due to the fact that past I'll beryllium outed. I'll beryllium outcast."

[70:14] Ryan: Yeah, I don't know. It's large for the archetypal impermanent to bring up but, successful general, I deliberation Luke has done a ton of large enactment for Bitcoin. He's wide regarded arsenic 1 of the devs that understands the strategy the champion and truly interestingly, it seems a batch of the rebuttals oregon a batch of the root of the existent contention is actually, radical disagreeing the speedy proceedings arsenic a method that we should propulsion done upgrades, which was Luke's presumption to statesman with, which I deliberation is beauteous interesting. So, Bitcoin is decidedly precise antithetic than Ethereum. We person our ways of doing so. Can they beryllium improved? Like, of course, is our logic down the way, things are, yes.

[70:57] Hudson: That's a large answer. Because, yeah, I fundamentally obviously, I'm gonna get like, the worst parts of the play with that truthful that's a precise bully answer. I admit the position determination and unless there's thing other for me, I'll leap disconnected and springiness my speakers batch to idiosyncratic other with bully questions arsenic well.

[71:11] Mark: Thank you, Hudson. Yep. I admit the question. I'm gonna reorganize immoderate of the speakers. So, if I sound you down, atrocious astir that, but I'm bringing up different radical for questions.

[71:22] Casey: I mean, conscionable successful regards to, benignant of, jumping disconnected that past part, bash we deliberation there's been immoderate unsafe precedent acceptable successful the mode BIP-119 has been projected with speedy trial? Does anyone instrumentality that position?

[71:41] Mark: I americium of the nonstop aforesaid sentiment arsenic Luke. That speedy proceedings is simply a mistake. Jeremy, I said, UASF, I didn't accidental speedy trial. I said erstwhile UASF. I bash not similar the thought of Bitcoin halfway oregon miners oregon immoderate much tangibly definable radical being successful power of the activation mechanics for proposals. I deliberation that begins to get political, I deliberation that begins to determination successful the absorption wherever a much and much identifiable radical is perceived arsenic being successful power of that, and I deliberation that halfway specifically and miners should not person immoderate nonstop relation successful it, I deliberation things should beryllium done with UASF. I don't deliberation halfway should beryllium doing thing but penning the validation logic for things. I deliberation activation deployments should travel from elsewhere. I bash not deliberation that miners should person a veto oregon an quality to origin thing to activate oregon not. I deliberation that users should beryllium moving activation logic and determination is either capable of them to strong-arm everyone other on to the constituent that miners activate due to the fact that they bash not privation to spot their bottommost enactment wounded to the constituent that halfway flips things connected successful the adjacent merchandise due to the fact that thing other activated it aft their archetypal merchandise with the validation logic.

I bash not deliberation that these definable identifiable groups should person thing to bash with that. I deliberation that would acceptable the roadworthy of capturable processes that tin beryllium utilized maliciously.

[73:29] Jeremy: I don't disagree with that. I mean, I deliberation if you spot and work the station that I enactment out, I virtually say, radical inquire maine for AUSF and I've already committed myself that I'm not going to pb immoderate AUSF process due to the fact that I besides don't deliberation that a dev should pb AUSF either. And what I accidental is, look, I'm putting retired a lawsuit that tin bash this. It's truly up to the assemblage to determine if this is the lawsuit that is the close 1 for them. And I conjecture erstwhile the question gets asked of like, is determination an contented with the process by which I rolled this out? The question truly is - what did I rotation out? I rolled retired a blog station with links to bundle radical could build. I didn't spell and say, "You person to tally this." I didn't misrepresent what the action-reaction effect oregon thing would be, it's like, "Look, here's software. If this is the bundle that you privation that you deliberation radical should run, bash it."

I adjacent accidental you should get existent large and archer radical wherefore they shouldn't tally this. And I deliberation wherever it's been astonishing to maine is radical haven't truly work that I was inviting them to sprout it down. And past they're getting precise personally assertive towards me, alternatively than conscionable similar politely saying, we shouldn't bash the connection that you enactment retired which I was intelligibly precise unfastened for that feedback. And present I deliberation successful presumption of AUSF, it is much wide that that's the happening that should hap if there's thing for CTV, I'm a antheral of my word, truthful I'm not going to pb the complaint there, but I'm not besides not going to beryllium similar sitting connected anybody who's trying to bash that.

[74:52] Ryan: Great little connection of clarification, Mark. I would say, similar Jeremy conscionable said, BIP-119 successful this existent contention is conscionable pursuing the process that works for the past software. So, if determination was immoderate troubling precedent sent, it was acceptable with Taproot not with what's happening close now.

[75:09] Mark: Just to beryllium ace clear, Ryan and Jeremy, I wholly hold with you. I'm conscionable benignant of playing I conjecture a small spot of devil's advocator and benignant of conscionable answering the questions I'm getting from the crowd. I really had idiosyncratic conscionable messaged maine astir what are the cons of this scenario? So, there's decidedly a batch of radical talking astir a batch of this worldly and that's the lone crushed wherefore I brought it up that way. I'm not trying to framework this speedy proceedings oregon thing going connected present arsenic anyhow unsafe oregon malicious, much conscionable bringing it up for the involvement of discussion.

[75:44] Guest 6: Real speedy comment, it's bully that, Mark, you brought this up that we person to beryllium careful. I mean, it's a spot of a hedging connection there. The biggest takeaway for maine retired of this full saga, personally, was that 1 has to beryllium highly cautious astir the connection that they usage and this full conflict astir the process and whatever, right? It's precise important. Like a batch of radical successful their minds, they person utterly confused the connection itself with the connection connected however to activate it. It does precise 2 antithetic things, thing to bash with each different astatine all. But this goes deeper, right? I mean, we person to beryllium highly mindful of the connection that we usage but adjacent that comes down to azygous words similar 1 Shinobi was talking and conscionable privation to fto Jeremy marque his comment. We became, successful immoderate sense, precise overmuch different. The consciousness of the satellite to the core. And adjacent the connection itself, it evokes a definite consciousness that there's immoderate benignant of a halfway of the beingness determination oregon something, right?

The ineffable GitHub repo that it's somehow, I don't know, it defines everyone's life. Now, it's a trillion dollar happening and it's similar I don't know, we should similar a physique a pedestal and a monument determination and, of course, everybody's respected and it's hard-working radical and each and they merit the credit. But I deliberation it was highly unfortunate that it was renamed. It utilized to beryllium conscionable called Bitcoin client, and astatine immoderate point, it was renamed to Core and I deliberation that actually, that was a precise atrocious move. On this basis, I'm going to marque a connection that we should rename it to Bitcoin Dash Center of Universe, I ever notation to it arsenic specified truthful that everybody knows the halfway of the beingness is determination and that thing other tin perchance travel from anyplace else.

This benignant of connection successful the supposedly centralized system, I deliberation tin beryllium profoundly damaging and erstwhile radical don't cognize overmuch astir thing they perceive Core, they think, oh, well, that's what it has to travel from. Of course, that's the Core, right? And seems similar precise logical but that's conscionable the word, that doesn't truly mean anything. Just the halfway of the bundle and the archetypal information was due to the fact that we're going to abstracted the web portion from the wallet part, which ne'er truly happened. But we stuck with the sanction and I deliberation we amplified a batch of drama, I think, successful galore people's minds.

[78:08] Mark: Yeah. I deliberation the adjacent question went to Tao and past The Last Airbender unless, Tao, you don't person thing past The Last Airbender.

[78:15] Tao: No, actually, I bash person something. Thanks for bringing maine up. Just speaking from a pleb's perspective, I'm conscionable a regular pleb, got into Bitcoin a portion backmost but I bash privation to springiness my opinions and what I'm seeing. So, what we privation really, is this dependable money, immoderate of the halfway principles that everybody knows, self-sovereignty. No 1 tin fuck with the money. And past also, 1 of the things that I announcement is this - I don't deliberation it's bully to commencement implementing caller features. The crushed wherefore I accidental that is not that it's not thing that tin beryllium done successful the aboriginal but decidedly not astatine the existent state. The crushed wherefore is due to the fact that astir people, astir plebs are inactive conscionable catching up to larn everything that Bitcoin has presently arsenic it stands. This, connected apical of the galore radical successful the satellite who don't adjacent cognize astir Bitcoin. So it is not indispensable to adhd caller features astatine the moment.

What we should bash oregon what, I think, the vigor should beryllium enactment into is what Shinobi mentioned earlier and that is the scalability of the system, right? The scalability is told that 1 time due to the fact that we cognize that volition come, meaning, we cognize determination volition beryllium much and much adoption and arsenic that come, we're going to request to fulfill and beryllium capable to enactment that benignant of scalability and adoption. So, the vigor truly should beryllium focused connected that and not needfully adding this feature, oregon that feature, oregon immoderate diagnostic due to the fact that radical don't adjacent cognize astir each the existent features close now. I'm conscionable speaking from a pleb's perspective, so, convey you precise much.

[80:04] The Last Airbender: I deliberation Tao had a large constituent successful presumption of making definite that the scalability is improved and continues to beryllium improved for everybody who are users of Bitcoin and I similar that idea. I besides similar the thought that alteration similar immoderate alteration successful the strategy needs to beryllium incorporated successful a mode that impacts and it takes appraisal of each the users of the product, similar successful this case, the Bitcoin. But successful this discussion, connected this topic, what I person been seeing, astatine slightest I've been speechmaking connected Twitter astir the speedy proceedings lone activating is the miner's privation and miners, of course, 1 of the main parties, the full thing. Like I deliberation I saw a video from Antonopoulos. I'm forgetting his name, the close pronunciation.

[80:55] Mark: Andreas.

[80:56] The Last Airbender: Yeah, Andreas. So, helium has a remark astir perchance this thought that is not incorporating each the users, the wallet makers, the enactment makers, and successful present similar a beauteous illustration that helium created successful a presumption connected which I think, [inaudible] picked up and different idiosyncratic besides picked up. The questions were that the speedy trials applied to the erstwhile lawsuit of this Taproot. It whitethorn not beryllium the close thought due to the fact that it doesn't impact each the stakeholders and that's a question I person for america due to the fact that I'm virtually caller to the thought of processing for Bitcoin. I've been hoarding Bitcoin for rather immoderate clip but not actively looking astatine GitHub repo and things of that quality due to the fact that I was doing different things. But present I'm going to absorption much my attraction connected this thought of really processing the merchandise and making my contributions going forward.

The discourse that I would similar to inquire each of us, each of you who are listening, is this thought of having a speedy proceedings lone the miners get to determine is thing that I deliberation I questioned that conception due to the fact that it doesn't correspond maine due to the fact that I'm not a miner. So, however bash I get involved?

[82:14] Jeremy: I think, if I tin conscionable reply truly quickly, 1 miner bash mostly travel what's happening successful the satellite and what radical are saying successful nationalist sentiment. And astatine slightest 10 percent of them bash oregon 11% and if astatine slightest eleven percent of them are doing that, there's nary mode that thing tin activate nether a speedy proceedings arsenic agelong arsenic you're not assuming somebody's going to similar reorg the chain, successful which case, it's like, 51% of that. The different broadside to that, too, that's important to support successful caput is you really bash person ways based connected the signalling mechanics to not beryllium connected that concatenation if it happens and you person a large menace of users to bash user-resisted brushed work. And I besides wrote the codification for that, successful lawsuit that's thing that radical privation that conceptually does work.

And then, I think, benignant of arsenic the past spot of similar conscionable wherever there's a batch to larn astir a batch of things and what's going connected with these things, person they been studied oregon whatever. Generally, it's truly hard to cognize astir everything going connected and if you privation to say, well, what's the wide acceptable of radical who person been involved? I enactment unneurotic the site, utxo.org/signals and I fishy that that seizure is simply a wider breadth of the manufacture and of radical successful the industry, and erstwhile I accidental industry, I conscionable mean radical who similar Bitcoin past was disposable arsenic indexing of sentiment past we had for thing similar Taproot wherever it's not truly wide what the measurable criteria was erstwhile we said Taproot has statement similar nobody's been capable to constituent maine to similar a circumstantial thing. That's like, oh, yes, it's clear. The lone happening idiosyncratic has been capable to constituent maine to for Taproot was an scale of miners who said they would enactment it and I've not been capable to spot a database of businesses that said they privation to enactment it, for example.

[84:04] The Last Airbender: Thank you, Jeremy. I would similar to person 1 follow-up question, which is - successful the aboriginal if determination is simply a alteration that is request to beryllium projected and needs to beryllium merged into the maestro subdivision connected our GitHub repository, what would that subdivision beryllium that I privation to physique myself and tally it similar a enactment to marque definite that I correspond my vote? How would I prime that branch? Is determination a process similar that, say, I take to accidental this alteration is going to beryllium suggested to spell forward, fto maine get that subdivision tag, physique my ain node, tally that node to bespeak my vote, whether I enactment oregon whether I bash not support, however is the process for that? What is that process? Or what should that process beryllium if determination is any, and if not, delight amended me.

[84:49] Jeremy: What you privation to tally and what happens happens. It's the mob. Like, that's conscionable however that works. There is nary process there. You marque your choice. Everybody makes their idiosyncratic prime and past what happens, happens.

[85:06] The Last Airbender: So, is determination a process that tin beryllium incorporated to assistance radical marque a decision? Yes, oregon no? ABC? What are the choices disposable to marque antithetic branches oregon decided they tin choose? Is determination a usage for somewhat method users for them to beryllium capable to physique connected their ain and past bespeak their penchant by moving that mentation of node?

[85:27] Jeremy: You larn oregon you take radical to trust, those are your choices.

[85:32] The Last Airbender: I deliberation that's just enough. So, fundamentally you're suggesting I make my own, bash it myself.

[85:40] Jeremy: Well, I really did that during Taproot activation. I've worked my ain customized lawsuit and started enforcing Taproot from the Genesis block, and immoderate elephantine asshole, [inaudible] attacked the Bitcoin Network and stalled my node for the remainder of eternity.

[86:01] Mark: I was conscionable astir to bring that up erstwhile you got forked up. Well, I wanted to convey everybody. We're hitting our 7:00 present and that's conscionable astir our cutoff clip here. I wanted to convey Casey truthful overmuch for joining from the get-go and benignant of going done the basics. I deliberation we tin each hold there's conscionable a batch much to speech astir and benignant of recognize astir the process and specifically Jeremy's proposal. And obviously, of course, I privation to convey Jeremy for each of your vigor and being truthful accessible and consenting to speech astir each this stuff. Thanks everyone other for hanging retired arsenic always. Bitcoin Magazine, cheque america out. Thanks, Chris, for hosting. Chris, person we got immoderate different shows coming up you privation to speech about?

[86:41] Chris Alaimo: No, not close astatine this minute. Thanks for each the speakers. Thanks, Jeremy. Thanks, Shinobi. We'll person to bash this again sometime. I apologize we didn't get to each the questions but thanks, guys, for coming out. And, Mark, you got thing other oregon Q?

[86:57] Jeremy: Can I marque a speedy closing comment?

[86:58] Mark: Yes. I was going to say, yep.

[87:02] Jeremy: Yeah, I mean, each that I privation to accidental to everybody is that this is the work, 1 of my main mantras, and what that means is similar radical get truly stressed retired and they're like, "Oh, no." But it's like, hey, we're successful a communal task that we're trying to marque amended wealth for humankind and immoderate we're doing, this is simply a portion of the work, portion of that process, answering these questions, figuring it out. This is the enactment and it's each going to beryllium good. We're doing our best, everybody, and effort to not similar harbor excessively overmuch grudge oregon hate. People are conscionable advocating for what they judge successful and conscionable marque amended arguments. That's benignant of what it comes down to is, well, that's however it volition germinate to beryllium the champion ecosystem and the champion wealth strategy is similar radical making vociferous statement and moving connected and similar accepting losses, taking wins, that's what it's each about.

[87:54] Mark: Beautiful. And connected that, acknowledgment truthful much, Jeremy, everybody, person a beauteous commencement to the week and we'll spot you adjacent time.

[88:00] Shinobi: Peace.
