Stephan Livera | Great Consensus Clean up, MEVil and LN isn’t dead - Steve Lee and Matt Corallo SLP565 @StephanLivera | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Official Podcast Episode: stephanlivera.com/565
Steve Lee and Matt Corallo of Spiral rejoin me on the show to talk about a range of topics. Firstly we discuss the Great Consensus Clean Up which relates to fixing some long standing bugs in Bitcoin. Secondly we talk about MEV and why it’s the wrong term, instead we should be talking about MEVil and the implications for Bitcoin miner centralisation. Finally we address the rumours of Lightning Network being dead or not useful.
