SLP331 Eric Sirion - MiniMint, Federated Mints for Bitcoin scaling and privacy

Dec 16 2021 • 1hr 2m

Show Notes

Chaumian e-cash is a predecessor idea to Bitcoin. Listen in to Stephan and Eric Sirion (elsirion) discuss the idea of federated mints and this particular idea of MiniMint. Eric’s research is being sponsored by Blockstream. This idea may offer even more privacy and scalability for Bitcoin users, but with some custodial and trust trade offs.

How it works
Custodial trade offs and who should use it
How lightning works
Deposits, withdrawals and internal transfers
