Dark Wallet Meeting: Interview with Mihai Alisie

Transcript

foreign um it wasn't that much of a choice yeah i have to go there i have to see this and it was an awesome experience so many people from all around the world meeting and discussing these people that are here uh in some way sacrifice their conflict right they're not living in a five-star penthouse suite but they sacrifice that because they are really passionate about this thing

this technology is bitcoin for a variety of reasons from the technological infrastructure to the code the beauty of code to the social power of change all these movements is about autonomy and self-imagination i had the chance to witness a discussion between pablo peter todd and amir and it was right under my eyes where they were discussing how they actually can improve the entire idea and how they can apply it

as a de facto standard and the change will will happen only with the support of the community they are the ones that actually can move the board not the other way around oh now now i'm making a bitcoin transaction everything all the other apps or whatever i'm doing stop and well on the other hand with the dark wallet approach is like i'm browsing whatever i need to make a payment click you make the payment so it's a huge shift in how you may it it will make bitcoin feel more natural to use in the cyber space basically if you if alice is sending one bitcoin

right and bob is sending 10 bitcoins does it still just output one to one side and 10 to the other well that's one of the problems okay yeah no that is one way to go break the anonymity pulling joint okay on the other hand i mean getting to this point is already enormous improvement anyway right so i'd say and i'll tell you like overall strategy i think you need to make sure coinjoin is used 100 percent of the time by 100 people five years after the launch of bitcoin we still don't have a decent implementation of multisig transactions come on guys but still we have time to think about red

list blacklist whitelist uh coin foundation and other stuff it's we we still don't use the basic features that lie dormant in the bitcoin code um so i think uh the the the adoption rate will be uh somewhat maybe a bump at first and then a lot as you see the way i see it it will be really easy to use why why bother to use something cumbersome and less secure and not providing you anonymity when you can have all of those with one plugin extension install that's it you have your bitcoin social for example like pinterest where

you collect stuff then you just collect it to your whatever um and for as a shop owner you might have for example a shop on your own url uh you might have a brick and mortar store here uh you might have another brick and mortar store and you might have an ebay shop right so you have this stock management issue and in vitigora you just come here and you see everything from everywhere will resemble more to wordpress than ebay and wordpress is a very modular platform where you have hundreds of thousands of plugins that can basically transform your blog through anything

from just a blog to a full-blown black glass shop plus forum plus whatever so in the near future we might have add-ons uh like encrypting links like mega does so you can have private stores without even us knowing the goal of of the project is not to set up one more analytical entity but rather to establish a mesh of commerce if i try to sum it up in one sentence it would be a platform that can do what wordpress has done for freedom of speech but this time for freedom of transaction

one of the things that will completely differentiate us from the other platforms is desert zero percent transaction fee so it will be completely open open source transparent uh using bitcoin making the usage of bitcoin user friendly and with zero free free as in free beer as and as free software foundation going going for 110.

so you've got to donate it to the free software foundation website someone's got to tell me how much it is in bitcoin when you think so much about something you start to have this mental construction it's like a mental lego to call it and you you put all sorts of stuff and you work on it and you twist it and you and then in here it was a moment where you were able to say hey this is my lego and it's like interesting look at my lego like exchanging writers gg awesome like uh the place of uh maybe uh maybe the place of the crypto renaissance where it

started you
