Chat_80 - Building the Ark with Burak

With the Introduction of Ark, the new 2nd layer payments and privacy protocol introduced with Read_734. I left with a lot of excitement, but I still had a ton of questions, so it felt like time for a chat with Burak, the creator of Ark. We dive into the bigger picture, how this is similar to lightning, how it is different, and then in an attempt to piece together the working parts we go through a bunch of edge cases and detail exactly how the ASP, past owners of Ark balances, and current owners of Ark balances all respond to secure the ownership of their coins. Don't miss this one. This is Bitcoin Audible Chat #80 - Building the Ark with Burak.

Here are a few of the links that Burak sent my way for more exploration. Let me know if you want me to cover one on the show! Shoot me a message on Fountain
