How is Bitcoin software securely developed and delivered? What is Gitian? What happens if your client software is compromised and how is this prevented? How is consensus reached on new upgrades? What are the different consensus groups? How are developers compensated for their work? Are there other compatible Bitcoin clients available besides the Bitcoin Core reference client?
These questions are from the MOOC 7.2, 9.3, and 9.5 sessions, which took place on February 26th 2017, March 2nd and March 16th 2018 respectively. Andreas is a teaching fellow with the University of Nicosia. The first course in their Master of Science in Digital Currency degree, DFIN-511: Introduction to Digital Currencies, is offered for free as an open enrollment MOOC course to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles.

Was really disappointed by the bitcoin core client on macOS, it crashed regularly on both my Macs and had to remove it. I wanted to run my own client but gave up after 4-5 attempts of trying to install and sync it
I've been blocked from viewing @aantonop on twitter. I really don't know why. I'm an honest follower. Is anyone else having this issue?
thank you for all your great talk!
may i ask you something pls?;
i'm a digital artist creating vector images and selling them over the internet.
would it be possible to attach an "only one time use or receive" option to one of such files?
i thought about it when i heard you saying; that bitcoin is something digital which can not be copied and this is so revolutionary…
digital art has a hard time to compete within galleries because of this option of unlimited duplication, ..so maybe there is a way to make unique image files…?
What happened if suddenly all Bitcoin developer get kidnapped?.What happened if those people are dead ?is this a single point of failure?
@aantonop sir can u plz…..explain the different implication of using bech32 segwit address format starting with 'bc1' and multisig looking segwit address starting with '3' in details……..
Would it be possible to "proof of work" the bitcoin client software? Including the source hash in a block, let the miners mine the block and let the nodes approve the block. The majority of nodes will approve it, rogue clients will approve everything but they will be the minority
Video is 13:37 of length lol!
Thank you, Andreas. Every video is a jewel.
You're making the most informative channel in YT for bitcoin, i also can't understand why other chew information and get millions and you are not. Be sure that my counter has several zeros after your views count. That's why i subscribed and liked
Seeing the light is nice!
