I’m visiting Japan for two weeks to help teach BC-2 at Digital Garage.
I’m very excited to have the chance to explore Tokyo and hope to make many new friends while out here!
Hopefully I can fill in a few details about my trip as I go…
I’m hoping to start blogging more frequently – consider this the first post. I’m going to fill in some back-dated posts though.
Well, I did it: I graduated MIT with my S.B. and M.Eng in 4 years! And apparently I was the most joyously nerdy.
I designed a mechanism that allows for probabilistic payments in Bitcoin.
The foundation of the mechanism is sane, where it veers out of “sanity” is in the attempts to get it to work well off-chain.
I originally wrote this paper on November 26th, 2015, and circulated it among a few colleagues. I think this is the first use case of OP_SIZE to implement XOR fair coin flipping, although Secure Multiparty Computations on Bitcoin has similar elements and it was discussed on IRC in #bitcoin-wizards that OP_SIZE might enable probabilistic payments, but not specifically.
I am first posting it on my website as of March 11th, 2017.
I’m honored to be serving as Program Chair for the first ever Scaling Bitcoin in Montreal.
