Connect The World EP052 | Christian Decker | Blockstream | Zurich | Switzerland

"Edward and Stef talk with Christian Decker, core tech engineer at Blockstream.

Christian found the Bitcoin Whitepaper in 2009, did his PhD on it between 2012 and 2016 and is working ever since on the Lightning Network as a continuation of his research.

At Blockstream he started working on Core Lightning right away, specifically working on Onion Routing together with Rusty Russell.

They talk about the Blockstream Jade open-source hardware wallet, the Blockstream Greenlight service, which Breez Wallet is integrating, about how people will get inbound liquidity in the future and about the Eltoo implementation.
