paper: slides: # Introduction I know that we're running late in this session so I'll try to keep this fast and get everyone to lunch. I have presented at Scaling Bitcoin four times now so I won't dwell on the introduction. I wanted to talk about scaling bitcoin directly on chain in a way that...

unrelated, Introductions Hi everybody. This is a talk on how much privacy is enough, evaluating trade-offs in privacy and scalability. This is going to be unusual for this conference because I will not be presenting new technical content. I am going to be talking about evaluating the tradeoffs b...

paper: Introduction I am going to be talking about fraud proofs. It allows lite clients to have a leve lof security of almost the level of a full node. Before I describe fraud proofs, how about we talk about motivations. Motivations There's a large tradeoff between blockchain decentralizat...

# Introduction Hi. Good morning. I am Zeta. I am going to talk about how to incentivize payment channel watchtowers. This is joint work with my collaborators. # Micropayment channels There are many ways to construct channels such as lightning channels and duplex channels. There's hops, you can ro...

maybe and Introduction Alright. Thank you very much. Thank you Pedro, that was a great segue into what I'm talking about. He has been doing work on formalizing multi-hop locks. I want to also talk about what changes might be necessary to deploy this on the lightning network. History For what...

Anton Yemelyanov Introduction slides: Welcome to scaling bitcoin. This is an international conference. We run the event every year in a different geographical location. We run this event as a strictly academic and engineering conference. The mentality that we take behind the event is think globa...

paper: # Introduction I am Lefteris. I am a 4th year PhD student. I am here to talk about omniledger. It's our architecture for a blockchain. It's not directly related to bitcoin because it's a different architecture. To begin, I would like to acknowledge my coauthors who collaborated on this p...

slides: Introduction First an apology about the title. I saw some comments on twitter after the talk was announced and they were speculating that I was going to break the 21 million coin limit. But that's not the case. Rusty has a civil war thesis: the third era will start with the civil war, ...

Introduction This talk is going to be about rebalancing in the lightning network. I'll talk about the implications and about running a lightning node. Financial costs In the lightning network, routing nodes will incur in financial costs by having their money locked inside channels. They can't us...

# Introduction Thanks for the introduction, Jameson. I feel like a rock star now. So yeah, I won't introduce myself. I call myself a code monkey the reason is that a lot of the talks in scaling bitcoin can surprise people but I understood very few of them. The reason is that I am more of an applica...

paper: Introduction This is joint work with my colleagues. I am Alexander Chepurnoy. We work for Ergo Platform. Vasily is an external member. This talk is about turing completeness in the blockchain. This talk will be pretty high-level. This talk is based on already-published paper, which was pr...

I am the education director of readingbitcoin.org, and I am going to be talking about statechains for off-chain transfer of UTXOs. Statechains This is another layer 2 scaling solution, by avoiding on-chain transactions. It's similar to lightning network. The difference is that coin movement is ...

History This should be easy to follow. I want to start off with some history. The first mention of atomic swap concepts was in 2013 in a bitcointalk.org thread where people were wondering how to exchange coins between independent ledgers in a trustless way. There were a few comments on the thread e...

paper: Introduction This is joint work with Yonatan. I am going to talk about a DAG-based protocol to scale on-chain. The reason why I like this protocol is because it's a very simple generalization of the longest-chain protocol that we all know and love. It gives some insight into what the role...
