In the previous article, we generalize Bitcoin smart contracts to include optional off-chain validation part, besides the conventional on-chain part consisting of Bitcoin Script. Security depends on the specific contract and can usually include properties such as: 1) honest parties who follow the contract/protocol should never lose their money; 2) dishonest parties who deviate must be […]
As payment technology continues to advance at breakneck speed, the days of cash are numbered. Particularly in recent months, following the pandemic, the impetus for a shift away from physical cash to digital money has only gathered more steam.

Surprisingly, it can maintain the trustless nature of on-chain contracts, while being drastically more efficient and private. Using a hash-based commitment scheme, we introduced a contract to achieve fair coin toss without a trusted third party. To discourage any party from aborting in the coin toss, each has to pay some deposit during the setup phase in Tx0. […]
Economic competition and incentives are at the heart of the Bitcoin system he invented, a system that is completely different than the system that falls under the BTC ticker symbol.

While BTC has been shown to only be a “pump and dump,” Bitcoin SV is focused on utility. I would like to hear more about your thoughts on speculating in and on Bitcoin, as well as in general. In Austrian economics, all costs are opportunity costs, so the cost of BTC is not owning productive […]
The public first heard of HandCash’s Duro idea last week, but as Alex tells us, the plan has been around for a long time.
