In this episode we'll talk about an important piece within the operation of Bitcoin, that is the proof-of-work, in which Back has an important influence. 

We also talked about the current situation of mining, and the latest announcements from Blockstream regarding its intention to create mining hardware.  

Back is a pioneer of cryptography, and we owe him the first successful product where proof of work was used. We are talking about Hashcash, which implemented this technology to reduce or prevent spam in emails, and not for the same purposes as in Bitcoin.
