In this episode with Bitcoin Core dev Gloria Zhao we discuss:

  • Second generation immigrant pursuing grant-funded development over job at Google, Meta, etc.
  • The verifiability of Bitcoin

GLOSSARY:

  • Bitcoin Core: Software considered the reference implementation for the Bitcoin protocol. It is the continuation of Satoshi Nakamoto’s original bitcoin software released in 2009.
  • Block: A block is a record in the blockchain that contains transactions. Roughly every 10 minutes, on average, a new block is appended to the blockchain through mining.
  • Block Size: The amount of data that can be stored in a block. This size is limited to maintain the efficiency and integrity of the blockchain.
  • Node: A computer that connects to the Bitcoin network.
  • Private Key: A private key is a piece of data that proves your right to spend bitcoins from a specific wallet through a cryptographic signature.
  • UTXO: Unspent Transaction Output - An output that has not been sent to another address. The bitcoin wallet balance is calculated from adding up unspent outputs.
