Dr. Adam Back is a cypherpunk pioneer. His work on hashcash is cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper and, lesser known among bitcoiners, but just as cool, his work on telescoping circuits is cited in the TOR white-paper. These are among many more contributions to the field of applied cryptography. In this episode we discuss cypherpunk history, bitcoin’s history and future, bitcoin privacy and Adam gives us an overview of the state of bitcoin tech. This was a great one, hope you all enjoy it.
