Carry-Over Items from Last Two Shows

Ron eat crow for wrongly predicting Brexit vote would lose. www. predictit.org and a lot of the polls got it wrong, too.

Proposed referendum names for other countries thinking of leaving of the EU:

Quitaly

Withdrarsaw
Portgugone
Madriddance

As a follow-up to our shows with Doug Sleeter on the blockchain, Ron discussed the “Bitcoin Knowledge Podcast” hosted by Trace Mayer. Two shows he listed to and enjoyed: an interview with Jeffrey Tucker and one with Dr. Adam Back, a legend in Bitcoin developer circles.

Dr. Back discussed his innovation of Sidechains, which is one of the pet projects on the developer’s wish list of “cool features.”

A sidechain essentially suspends your Bitcoins on the main blockchain, then sends them to a smart contract guided sidechain, with proof of suspension, and grants you equivalent use of the Bitcoins on the sidechain.

It’s a way for them to add new features in a modular way. For instance, a sidechain could be used to run an airlines’ frequent flyer program, or for anything where you might need a ledger with special features.
