New Bitcoin Talks episode with @Basanta_Goswami just dropped.
How do we build truly private, self-custodial software for a Bitcoin-native future?
In this episode of Bitshala Talks, we sit down with open-source developer Basanta to unpack the technical reality of building freedom tech.
Key takeaways from the conversation:
Reproducible Builds: Why verifying software binaries from source code is critical for wallet security.
Bull Bitcoin: The philosophy behind self-custodial exchanges & mobile wallet architecture at @BULLBITCOIN_
Privacy-First Education: Bringing non-bitcoiners into freedom tech through community initiatives like Cyber Suraj at Bitspace @bitshala.
L2 Trade-Offs: Breaking down Lightning, @Liquid_BTC federations, & @arc for scalable self-custody.
Open-Source Dev: How to contribute meaningfully to Bitcoin repositories.

"Bitcoin is one of those technologies that could change the world, like quantum computing, nuclear fusion, or space colonies."
@Basanta_Goswami is one of my favourite people to sit down for a chat with.
He drops a gem a minute, I swear.

How can reusing a single random number lead to the loss of your Bitcoin private key? ⚡️
Last week, we explored the Schnorr Proof of Knowledge. Today, we move from theory to practice and see how that interactive protocol becomes a non-interactive digital signature scheme.
Join the Cryptographic Foundations of Bitcoin club, every Thursday at 8 PM, with host @sha512rma.
We’ll cover:
🔹 Schnorr Interactive Proof: Proving ownership of a secret without revealing it
🔹 Fiat-Shamir Transform: How hashing removes the need for interaction
🔹 Nonce Reuse Catastrophe: How poor randomness can expose a private key
