In S14 E9 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, @lopp explains the difference between a multisig and Shamir Secret Sharing (SLIP 39).
He argues that Shamir must be reconstructed under a single signature and nobody can know which shares have made the transaction. In comparison, multisig publishes all signatures on the public blockchain and therefore grants the owner of the coins more auditability.

In 2 1/2 hours (7 PM UTC), I'm going live with Paul Sztorc to talk about the feedback he's received for Drivechains.
We'll focus on 3 elements:
1. the "Unpopular Opinions" debate from Riga (we'll watch it together)
2. the article "Drivechains are stupid, prove me wrong" by Shinobi
3. Paul's debate against nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm from Tabconf

Question for my upcoming YouTube video:
Who is your favorite Satoshi Nakamoto candidate?
I'll pick the most interesting answers and discuss them on video.
DMix by Fadi Barbara is a decentralized privacy protocol which combines a Taproot multisig with a CoinJoin without the need for a coordinator.
But is it trustless? And what happens if you mix alongside blockchain analysis companies that launch Sybil attacks to dox participants?

Change my mind 😤 
Why are liquidity and the number of participants important in Bitcoin privacy?
To put it simply: the larger the crowd, the more difficult it becomes to identify a single individual.
Ever played “Where’s Waldo”? CoinJoins are like that, except that everyone wears the same clothes.

Why did Casa add support for Ethereum, after almost 5 years of being a Bitcoin-only company?
According to CTO Jameson Lopp, the decision was entirely market-driven and a result of demand from customers.

A true man of culture!
If only I could find that one here in my area 😅
“Just buy some Lexus” 😂
Within my budget? Super unlikely.
Thinking about getting a practice car (rear wheel drive) under $10k to prepare me for the Supra Cycle. I wouldn't want to drive the Supra into a tree, that scares girlfriends.
Toyota MR2 and Mazda RX-8 are very good options within the price range.
Any other recommendations? 
Is it just me or is AI art losing popularity?
My feed used to be filled with random image generations, now I haven’t seen any of those in weeks.
I know that there are communities dedicated to creating AI art and there are also experiments to make it realistic. But it lost its appeal among the masses – at least this is my perception.
Whirlpool CoinJoins do 5 inputs, 5 outputs
Wabisabi CoinJoins do 200+ inputs, 200+ outputs
How many inputs and outputs can DMix do?
According to Fadi Barbara, the limit is only imposed by the Bitcoin block size and the ability to coordinate large transactions with no middleman.

DMix is still a proof of concept. It might be cheaper if you pull it off with a bunch of friends, as you don’t pay a matchmaker/coordinator.
What’s the difference between DMix, Wabisabi and Whirlpool?
According to Italian academic researcher Fadi Barbara, his DMix protocol removes the need for a CoinJoin creator to intermediate the collaborative transaction.
Therefore, the transaction is more censorship resistant and benefits from a greater degree of plausible deniability.

I’m also talking about speeding tickets here.
These navigation apps are pretty cool, but honestly what prevents them from sending reports to your local police station to tell them when you break the speed limit?
It’s only a matter of time until they turn into spying devices that help your government conduct mass surveillance.
