CryptoQuikRead_215 - Formalizing & Securing Network Relationships [Part 2 - Nick Szabo]
Show Notes
Listening to an essay from 1997 that details specific challenges of something as distant as the smart contract embedded into the Lightning Network shows the unbelievable foresight of the cypherpunks. As well as the dedication to seeing their vision become a reality. Don’t miss the continuation of Szabo’s amazing piece, “Formalizing and Securing Relationships on Public Networks.” Link to the Nakamoto Institute for hosting this incredible work: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/formalizing-securing-relationships/ Don't forget to check out the many different elements discussed in the commentary if you want to learn more.
