Bitcoin Rails | Isabel Foxen Duke Protecting Bitcoin From "MEVIL" | With Matt CoralloAfter starting full-time in Bitcoin straight out of college (as a co-founder of Blockstream… NBD) Matt Corallo is one of the most long-standing and prolific Bitcoin contributors in the world, having worked on several of its most influential projects—including Lightning, Stratum V2, the original sidechains paper, and more.That being said, he’s arguably best-known in recent history for sounding the alarms about potential risk vectors for miner centralization—including the risks of “Miner Extractable Value,” aka “MEV” or “MEVIL” (not-so-affectionately).MEV, of course, is a subject that most Bitcoiners haven’t spent much time thinking about. Widely considered an “Ethereu...

Crypto Chronicles A Primer on Blockchain Technology and Hyperledger FabricThe research for this episode was primarily focused on Hyperledger Fabric, a distributed ledger technology, detailing its architecture, components, and operational aspects. They explain core concepts such as peers that host ledgers and chaincode (smart contracts), and orderers that manage transaction ordering and consensus, often utilizing the Raft protocol. The sources also illuminate how channels facilitate private communication and data sharing between organizations, with Membership Service Providers (MSPs) handling identity and permissions. Furthermore, they discuss the use of private data collections for confidential transactions, the process of deploying and managing smart contracts (chaincode) through a lifecycle, and considerations for...
