A talk on Bitcoin wallets: what they are, how difficult it is to build one, and what tools can be of help (spoiler: rust-bitcoin, rust-miniscript, BDK).

A talk on the technical fundamentals of Bitcoin.

Part 1 is focused on trying to invent digital money: we start from a quite broken idea, creating a central entity currency, and try to improve it. This part introduces the fundamental concepts behind Bitcoin: public keys, PoW, difficulty adjustments.

In part 2 we explain with more detail keys, wallets, coins, transactions, blocks, miners.

Paralelni Polis organized a Pizza Day conference! It was short and sweet, less than 48 hours long, but a really nice occasion to meet with fellow bitcoiners and get drunk eat pizza!

I gave a pretty sad talk about death, but people seemed to enjoy it, for some reason. I decided to write a kinda-transcript around the slides, so I could share the sorrow with everyone who opened my blog, instead of limiting it to the Pizza Day participants. Pretty altruistic if you ask me.

I was at pleb.fi talking about BDK - exploring why it’s so hard to build wallets from scratch, and how BDK (and other tools) might help.

The talk was not recorded, but you can find slides here.

Thanks Jeremy for having me!
