Antoine Poinsot is a Bitcoin Core Developer. I met him at the MIT Bitcoin Expo in early October.
Antoine, who is now at Chaincode Labs was previously with Wizardsardine. The bitcoin security company that created Revault, a transaction-based vault based upon pre-signed signatures and Liana a Bitcoin wallet based around miniscripts. Antoine’s initial commit to Bitcoin Core was merged on the 16th of May 2019.
We talked about the Great Consensus Cleanup, a proposed soft fork to the Bitcoin Protocol modeled after Matt Corallo’s version from 2019 of this proposal.
Bitcoin suffered numerous bugs through the years. The inflation bug of 2010 is one example. It is true that there are some serious bugs left in the protocol. They’re not all that severe, but they still need to be fixed.
Antoine discusses the different bugs in protocol and offers solutions. Some of these bugs are probably just foot-guns, which are easily accounted for when you know about them. However, some are serious and could pose a risk to the Bitcoin Network.
