Make Electrum Great Again (A Talk by BDK Devs) & Socratic Seminar 19

Bitdevs Taiwan is back with another event!

Bitcoin is meant to be decentralized. However, many Bitcoin wallets rely on centralized services (such as Electrum/Esplora) to fetch transaction data. This sacrifices privacy and security for users. Furthermore, technologies such as Compact Block Filters are readily served in the network. Why aren’t more wallets making use of such features? Topics discussed in this talk include Electrum, compact block filters, and developer incentives. In addition, a new standard will be proposed… are you ready to meet Neutrum? This 30min talk will be given by Evan and Wei (contributors of the infamous Bitcoin Dev Kit library).

The venue will be at T3 Coworking Space (17F, No. 563, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Taipei).
