Ep #24 The War On Cryptocurrency: De-anonymization by crypto gossip published on 2016-05-01T13:38:02Z Peter, Dale and Scott are in the studio for this ep, extending the 'grown up' theme with a new decentralised bitcoin/crypto exchanged called BitSquare. They read thru the whitepaper and discuss how this exchange differs from existing centralised crypto currency exchanges. And other centralised projects like the one that Peter Todd discovered was intending to force miners into collecting personal data, quite sneaky we thought. We also looked at how AI is joining the battle with the blockchain in a Skry manner. These types of projects aim to not only de-anonymize, but to effectively censor bitcoin transactions. Julian Smith our legendary guru of all matters technical and generally incomprehensible briefed us on his latest project *blockFreight*. Now this is a game changer and we'll be updating the progress as this business unfolds. In closing off we covered a few things happening at the newly scrubbed up and looking damned cool Technology Center for melbourne's knowledge week. Although a 'celebrity' hasn't quite firmed up his skype in, we're ready for him to feature on the event space wall :) Put in your earplugs, relax and enjoy the chat!
