In For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, Rothbard proposes a once-and-for-all escape from the two major political parties, the ideologies they embrace, and their central plans for using state power against people. Libertarianism is Rothbard's radical alternative that says state power is unworkable and immoral and ought to be curbed and finally abolished. To make his case, Rothbard deploys his entire system of thought: natural law, natural rights, Austrian economics, American history, the theory of the state, and more. It is relentless, scientific, analytical, and morally energetic—a book that makes an overwhelming case. Indeed, it gave an entire movement its intellectual consciousness and earned Rothbard the titles "Mr. Libertarian" and "The State's Greatest Living Enemy." https://mises.org/library/new-liberty... https://bitcoinreadinggroup.com If you have learned something valuable, donate a couple sats to Max as a thank you note: 3DqEnU6dW6bZesrVdThrrQjQKgN7dpY5vv https://tallyco.in/HillebrandMax Support the show by buying bitcoin on https://hodlhodl.com/join/ERCT Listen to WCN Audio Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Here are two BIP drafts that specify a proposal for a Taproot softfork. A number of ideas are included: * Taproot to make all outputs and cooperative spends indistinguishable from eachother. * Merkle branches to hide the unexecuted branches in scripts. * Schnorr signatures enable wallet software to use key aggregation/thresholds within one input. * Improvements to the signature hashing algorithm (including signing all input amounts). * Replacing OP_CHECKMULTISIG(VERIFY) with OP_CHECKSIGADD, to support batch validation. * Tagged hashing for domain separation (avoiding issues like CVE-2012-2459 in Merkle trees). * Extensibility through leaf versions, OP_SUCCESS opcodes, and upgradable pubkey types. The BIP drafts can be found here: * https://github.com/sipa/bips/blob/bip... specifies the transaction input spending rules. * https://github.com/sipa/bips/blob/bip... specifies the changes to Script inside such spends. * https://github.com/sipa/bips/blob/bip... is the Schnorr signature proposal that was discussed earlier on this list (See https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pip...) https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pip... https://twitter.com/pwuille

What is the Coinkite Coldcard? It's a Bitcoin hardware wallet, so it signs transactions and can be used offline. BIP39 based, which means you can backup the secret words onto paper, and have lots of sub-accounts and unlimited independent payment addresses. It knows how to understand transactions, so you can see what you are approving. The first PSBT (BIP 174) native wallet which can be used completely offline for it's entire lifecycle. https://coldcardwallet.com/ https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/... Electrum is... Safe, Your private keys are encrypted and never leave your computer. Forgiving, Your funds can be recovered from a secret phrase. Instant On, Electrum is fast, because it uses servers that index the Bitcoin blockchain. No Lock-In, You can export your private keys and use them in other Bitcoin clients. No Downtimes, Electrum servers are decentralized and redundant. Your wallet is never down. Proof Checking, Electrum Wallet verifies all the transactions in your history using SPV. Cold Storage, Keep your private keys offline, and go online with a watching-only wallet. Multisig, Split the permission to spend your coins between several wallets. Add-ons, Electrum supports third-party plugins: Multisig services, Hardware wallets, etc. https://electrum.org/ If you have learned something valuable, donate a couple sats to Max as a thank you note: 3Fe6dcwhkLnMo7c2FrkYduR5xJgo38dTTS https://tallyco.in/HillebrandMax Support the show by buying bitcoin on https://hodlhodl.com/join/ERCT Listen to WCN Audio Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
