Bitcoin Season 2 is here and ready to bring Bitcoin adjacent developer talent back to Bitcoin. Today’s episode of Bitcoin Magazine Twitter Spaces features the Marathon Digital Holdings Team to discuss their recently unveiled multi-chain layer-two network Anduro. Anduro is a platform built on the Bitcoin network that allows for the creation of multiple sidechains, providing a new avenue for innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem. While Marathon has helped incubate Anduro, the network is intended to be community-led and community-driven. The network is designed to systematically integrate decentralized governance, with a focus on becoming the most reliable, developer-centric Bitcoin layer-two. Marathon is already developing the first two sidechains on Anduro, Coordinate and Alys, which can be further developed by open-source contributors. These chains demonstrate Anduro’s flexible programmability.

From the Bitcoin Magazine Archives | Recorded 7/26/2023 Join Hosts Spencer Nichols and Christian Keroles for a conversation with Reed College Philosophy Professor Troy Cross on the nature of epistemology, truth, and the knowledge crisis. We discuss the constraints on obtaining knowledge of the world, how beliefs are formed based on that knowledge, and how our society’s ability to collectively makes sense of the word is fundamentally built on inter-personal trust. What might be the role of Bitcoin, a trust-minimized distributed time-stamping protocol, in restoring sensemaking in Western society? Also featuring Matthew Pines and Jamie King. -Spencer Nichols (https://x.com/DeSpencer_?s=20)-Christian Keroles ( https://x.com/ck_SNARKs?s=20)-Troy Cross (https://x.com/thetrocro?s=20)-Matthew Pines (https://x.com/matthew_pines?s=20)-Jamie King (https://x.com/jamie_jk?s=20) __________________ Enter the Bitcoin Halving Challenge!
