🧰 Too much bitcoin tech knowledge is trapped in videos and podcasts

If only there was an easy way to unearth those insights and gems… 🤔

We wondered that too, so we redesigned Bitcoin Transcripts! 🚀

What's the deal with #bitcoin fees? How are they calculated? Where do they go? Let's have a look with a #DecodingBitcoin 🧵

A transaction's fee is equal to the total amount of bitcoin in the inputs, minus the total amount of bitcoin in the outputs.

Buckle up for today's #DecodingBitcoin🧵. It's a long one but we promise it's worth your time.

Today we're going to break down how to sign a #bitcoin segwit transaction. We'll use a real example from the BIP-143 test vectors (that’s one of the segwit BIPs!)

New tool in Decoding Bitcoin!

REORG CALCULATOR ⚒️

Computes the probability that an attacker could reorganize z blocks with a given % of the total network hashrate

Here’s the probability of an attacker reorganizing 6 blocks with 30% of the total hashrate

We’ve got a good #DecodingBitcoin🧵for you today. The topic? 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, AKA the order of bytes in a computer’s memory.

When we put it like that it sounds a little boring, but there’s something interesting, and dare we say 𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔, about how bitcoin handles endianness…

Let's talk about the 2 ways to track user balances on decentralized networks

Account Model (#Ethereum): Tracks balances like a bank ledger (simple and intuitive).

UTXO Model (#Bitcoin): Tracks specific unspent outputs from transactions (complex but powerful)

There is an oft-repeated sentiment in the community that #bitcoin does not need you. While bitcoin is designed to be resilient, we 𝑑𝑜 need you.

Bitcoin needs all the talent and energy it can gather to solve some of the most difficult technical problems of our time.

The Saving Satoshi case study in the Bitcoin Design Guide is live. It provides lots of background about this unique and ambitious project. I'm super thankful to and proud of everyone who chipped in (you're all ₿OSSes).
