LIVE w/ Andrew Poelstra & Brandon Goodell
summary
Argues that embedding scripts into signatures could enable Lightning-style channels for Monero but is blocked by the absence of a claim-refund/time-lock primitive and Monero’s lack of a scripting system. Describes current tech as ring CT & bulletproofs with a hard tradeoff between perfectly binding and perfectly hiding commitments, a quantum break risk decades away (estimates like 15–50 years), active work on new ring schemes with a target of 2–3 years, and a described flooding attack plus game‑theory mitigations.
