CryptoQuikRead_283 – Invalid Blocks Need Not Apply [StopAndDecrypt]

Everything that defines the Bitcoin network is in the validation rules, and the nodes are its enforcers.  An impenetrable fortress of validation.  

Because it deserves an episode of its own, today we read @StopandDecrypt’s excellent breakdown of the Bitcoin network and the critical importance of fully validating nodes.  Originally an excerpt from a much longer article covered on the show, “Sharding Centralizes Ethereum.”

Drop some major applause on the original article below and don’t forget to explore the graphics for some amazing visualizations of the concepts discussed:

CryptoChat_019 – Under The Lightning Hood: Resurrection

The crew from the Lightning Hood website and weekly wrap-up are back for another episode chatting all about the developments in Lightning & Bitcoin throughout the last year.  What’s new, what’s the same, and what are the next steps.

Bitcoin is back in the spotlight, how long and winding is the road to good privacy, how Bitcoin & Lightning returns power to personal hardware, developing a protocol stack for sovereignty, how Lightning is disappearing into the background, and the coming wave of new Bitcoiners.  Don’t miss another fun episode, hanging with the Lightning Hood crew.
