The Bitcoin Virtual Machine Breakthrough Nobody Saw Coming w/ Robin Linus


Listen Later

BitVM bridges just took a major step forward. In this interview, Robin Linus, the creator of BitVM joins Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine to unveil BiNoHash, a research proposal that lets a BitVM machine verify a single Bitcoin transaction without proving the state of the entire chain. Robin walks through the script structure, the big-script-vs-small-script problem, and how signature puzzles provide a working fingerprint of transaction data. If you care about Bitcoin scaling, bridges, and covenants, this is essential viewing. Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
