    Designing a crypto security system at a Swiss bank - Michele Federici

    This episode features a comprehensive interview with Michele Federici. Previously involved with Seba Bank (now Amina Bank), Michele discusses his journey from a childhood fascination with computers and security, influenced by his grandfather, to pioneering the development of ultra-secure crypto storage solutions. He shares anecdotes from his early engagement with Bitcoin, insights into the complexities of crypto custody, and detailed explanations of technical challenges encountered while securing cryptocurrencies.  The conversation shifts to Federici's perspective on user interface improvements, self-custody solutions, and his vision for enhancing crypto security through innovative technologies like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and zero-knowledge proofs. Towards the end, Federici provides personal insights on his inspirations, his first paycheck, and the non-financial best investment he's ever made — founding his company. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelefederici/ https://michelefederici.com https://sig9.ch Support the Show.

  8. Satoshi Nakamoto ask me anything through GPT4

    08/13/2023

    Satoshi Nakamoto ask me anything through GPT4

    I used GPT4 to ask Satoshi Nakamoto all the questions you have ever wanted to ask, like why 21 mio, who inspired him, what will happen when all the coins will be mined and much more. Discover for yourself the answers I got from Chat GPT 4. Occasionally when I thought the answer was to obvious or superficiel, I asked the question again. At one point I ask if he had ever worked with Len Sassaman. Len Sassaman is a potential candidate to be Satoshi. He was a brillant cryptographer, who commited suicide only 2 months after satoshi sent a final communication I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future. to cite a brilland article in Medium by Evan Hatch Len Sassaman devoted his life to defending personal freedoms through cryptography, working as a developer on PGP encryption and open-source privacy technology, as well as an academic cryptographer researching P2P networks under blockchain inventor David Chaum. He was also a pillar of the hacker community: a friend and influence to so many of the important figures in the history of infosec and cryptocurrency. Furthermore we think, by the time stamps of some of Satoshis messages, that at one point he was in europe. At that time Len Sassaman was working in Belgium, with David Chaum. I have included a link to the article in the show notes. Enjoy, and remember it is just an AI answering you. You will judge for yourself the quality of the responses.
