Show Notes

"If Fedipools prove to be viable we could find ourselves in a world where bitcoin mining pool centralization risk is significantly reduced and the worries that many have today cease to exist. By creating a federation of different miners who act as guardians of a mint dedicated to producing blocks and distributing rewards you create a completely new and more robust incentive model at the pool layer." - Marty Bent Today we dig into another Bent by good ol' uncle Marty on a potential and exciting solution laid out by Matt Odell to the mining pool centralization problem. What if we could use Fedimints, a federated network for payment privacy, as a way to distribute and protect the incentives in operating a mining pool? Listen to find out more.

I think this is the first time we’re trying a decentralized, non-trust-based system." – Satoshi Nakamoto Learn more about your ad choices.
