Fantastic news! Great work.
Well deserved
love these guys.
Many years ago Pieter took the time to set me straight about CISA
Well deserved. Love to see it 🫂
Thanks Pieter and Greg! And Hal! 👏
Believe it or not, some of Greg’s ideas that could be implemented today (as far as I can understand them) if we need more transactions per block have yet to be programmed but the groundwork for it has been laid (somewhere on YouTube there is a video of Greg going over space savings of cross input signature aggregation, but it requires schnorr signatures which weren’t available in the pre-segwit era).
Both of these guys are fully deserving of this recognition. We are all better off on account of their work.
thank
Too bad the lightning network isn't so private(what I've been hearing).
