Why are there different types of SegWit addresses? How much space should we expect to gain with Schnorr signatures and signature aggregation? How does Taproot, as proposed by Pieter Wuille, work and compare with zero-knowledge proofs? What is the implementation timeline for Schnorr signatures, confidential transactions, Taproot, and Graftroot?

Really nice as always, but I would suggest to invest on a proper microphone, it would make your explanation much smoother ?
i hope monero's technology can be copied to bitcoin some day
commenting to promote your videos
how about investing in a god damn microphone? I think the volatility is decent on this one.
So easy your grandma will use it
Damn this video was much more technical than the average. Goes over my head a little
zzzzz. Look forward Mr.A.
13:30 just to be clear, keys themselves are not being signed. Rather, the transaction is being signed using the 3 separate private keys. A single (combined) signature and single (combined) public key is published with the transaction. This hides the script details (3 participants etc) from those watching the blockchain.
HTH
@aantonop can you look into and explain the difference between these scaling solutions: Lightning Network vs zk-STARKs vs nahmii (using rsk)
Thank you !
Exchanges don’t seem keen on native Segwit. Binance, Bittrex and Poloniex among others refuse to send to a bc1– address when a user tries to withdraw BTC to his own wallet. Why this reluctance by exchanges?
Here's the podcast quoted in the video where Taproot is explained at large: https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-401-the-tools-and-the-work-part-2
Shout out to squaaaaa
Thank you for answering Schnoor questions Andreas
Listening to this just further solidifies my view that the LN will be the nail in BTC's coffin.
When is the next Bitcoin talks video premier coming up?
Ever though about…: what if segwit gets forked off and one sits on the native segwit branch? Everybody holding legacy (e.g. the miners) gets both token after the fork and the all the normal people holding segwit/ bc1? Can be dumped. Isn't this an attac vector?
Andreas really is a legend. His teaching skills are spot on.
With segwit signatures are already outside the 1MB block, they do have a size limit too, but they do not compete for the 1 MB for the transaction, and even if every transaction was to use segwit, we run out of space on the 1MB block before the witness part run out of space.
So Schnorr signatures save space from signatures, which will make the blockchain more efficient, but it will not allow more transactions to fit on a block, right? I am missing something?
Andreas your videos are full of knowledge, but please try to put some practical examples so we better can understand.
Thanks
This was a great lesson on addresses and privacy. Thats why I love the Samurai wallet on Android.
it is all to technical for me, though i think over times i will get the oerall knowledge…….hopeing so anyway!
So is a bech32 address the most compact a public Bitcoin address is ever likely to be?
What is the best and safest ways to buy a large amount of Bitcoin
Thanks boss
