Show Notes

Haley Berkoe met with Clara Shikhelman, the Head of Research at Chaincode Labs. Clara has been researching complex mathematical problems for nearly a decade and is currently focusing on the Lightning Network and bitcoin in the age of post-quantum computing. Episode highlights include: Her goals with the quantum computing report: provide an overview of the current status and future direction of bitcoin, reduce FUD, and clarify what actually matters. A call for cryptographers to engage with bitcoin and read the whitepaper. The need for bitcoin to have a more user-friendly experience and tools that are as simple to use as Venmo. Excitement about new developers entering the space through the Chaincode BOSS program Advice to researchers: Follow interesting questions rather than adhering to traditional academic paths.
