How are assets exchanged between blockchains? What is the script functionality required for smart contracts? Multi-signature schemes are basic smart contracts. What do you mean by “smart contract” regarding Lightning? Is the Lightning Network a sidechain? Are sidechains second layers? Will they be centralised?

These questions are from the MOOC 10.5 and 10.6 sessions, which took place on October 5th and October 11th 2018, respectively. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop

  1. Several comments are people asking Andreas talk about or basically shill some scammy alt coin. He seems to never take money or "sponsorship" to promote ICOs or scammy stuff. And 95%+ of the a available coins out there are garbage that invested primarily in marketing and have no developers.
    Most crypto youtubers do take money to include some alt coin in a video, often with titles like Top 10 coins to own usually include a few shit coins only there because the youtuber was compensated in some way.
    I admire Andreas for not selling out and promoting crap. Greed is so powerful, and with his level of influence, he must have been offered huge money during the ICO craze. I respect that he didnt sell out.

  2. Opening a channel requires a transaction on the main blockchain. Once I exhaust that btc or LTC, I have to refill that channel via another transaction on the main chain right?

  3. Hi Andreas, thanks for a great contribution to Crypto community you do by sharing your profound knowledge. I have a question about so called "paper bitcoin" . There is a fear that banks could print in the future their own paper bitcoins, of course they will claim that every paper bitcoin is actually backed by the real one, (something like we see today with Tether). The problem is that average person/investor will trust the banks instead of trusting to the technology and so the decentralization aspect of bitcoin will be removed, also if every bank can create false paper bitcoins, it means inflation of coins and the deflationary nature of the real bitcoin can be lost with crowds buying the paper coins, that are not really backed by real bitcoins. How will all this in your view impact the price/usage/ adoption of the real bitcoin. How can the real bitcoin fight back. Thanks

  4. Who provides the security for the side-chains? Well you just have side-chains merge-mine with the Bitcoin blockchain, and then those side-chains can inherit the hash rate of the Bitcoin blockchain. This is what Elastos is doing.

  5. Useful video as usual, thank you Andreas.
    I've heard blockchain is built on top of the ISO/OSI stack. Does it means blockchain belongs to the layer 7 (Application layer) of the Osi architecture?

  6. Stakenet (XSN) Have already performed Lightning swaps with LTC and will soon come out with a lightwallet where u can do one click swaps to any lightning compatible coin and their dex will be a true decentralized Dex since its the first one to be run by masternodes. Now THATS something to be hyped about 😀
