One problem faced by these banks is the implementation of fees for transactions that incur protocol fees on the Bitcoin and Lightning networks. This problem is particularly important in the context of providing both onchain and offchain liquidity, since different usage patterns can incur dramatically different protocol fees. We argue that the possibility of liquidity arbitrage on the Lightning network sets a market rate for inbound liquidity, and use an estimate of this market rate to develop new fee structures that properly price liquidity without overcharging everyday users. Furthermore, we perform simulations using historical transaction data from users of the Bitcoin Beach Wallet, and show that the new fee structures are able to account for different usage patterns under realistic conditions.", "description": "Youtube:\nhttps://youtu.be/ZojoA78sHsA\n\nBitcoin TV:\nhttps://bitcointv.com/w/izN97SykDWUBrvbFUR4Ywe", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "BK9YFM", "name": "Jose I.

The idea of creating tokens representing assets that can be transferred and stored with the same security and convenience that Bitcoin offers is not new, it was indeed pioneered already in 2013 by protocols such as Counterparty and OmniLayer (formerly Mastercoin), and later adopted by Ethereum and other altcoins, which is also where most of the blockchain tokens activity happens today. However, using altcoins to secure financial assets is not ideal, as they are unable to offer the same level of security and decentralisation of Bitcoin. For this reason, over the years some projects emerged trying to modernise tokens-on-Bitcoin protocols and make them compatible with the Lightning Network, in particular RGB, OmniBolt and, more recently, Taro.

This will be an interactive chat without slides or recordings, to encourage everyone to participate. We'll start with the basics and go from there!", "description": "Bring your laptop if you have a Bitcoin Core node set up on it, and don't hesitate to have the documentation resources open that follow below.\n\nWhat is I2P?\n\nI2p is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate.  All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.\n\nI2P connections have a \"source address\" -- it is certain that the peer who connects from a given I2P address to us possesses the private key that corresponds to that I2P address.  This can be used for white-listing \"friends.\"  It is a stronger guarantee than IP addresses (which can be spoofed by your ISP, for instance).\n\n---\n\nWhat is CJDNS?\n\nCJDNS is an encrypted IPv6 network that uses public-key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing.  It builds an end-to-end encrypted IPv6 mesh network that utilizes the `fc00::/8` address space (reserved IPv6 range) and a friend-of-a-friend network topology.  It is like a distributed, shared VPN with multiple entry points where every participant can reach any other participant.\n\nCompared to IPv4/IPv6, CJDNS provides end-to-end encryption and protects nodes from traffic analysis and filtering.\n\nUsed with Tor and I2P, CJDNS is a complementary option that can enhance network redundancy and robustness for both the Bitcoin network and individual nodes.\n\n---\n\nWhy use multiple Bitcoin peer-to-peer networks?\n\nUsing multiple networks provides potentially better decentralization, network robustness and censorship resistance, e.g. I2P or CJDNS may be operational when Tor isn't or has degraded operation, while not degrading relative privacy/fingerprinting compared to running Tor alone.\n\nEach network has different characteristics. For instance, Tor is widely used but somewhat centralized, which can lead to problems (consensus node attacks, DoS,  censorship, etc).  Recently, various forms of DoS have been ongoing for nearly half a year now (see https://status.torproject.org/issues/).\n\nI2P can be fairly slow in latency (similar to Tor), and unlike Tor, connections have a source address.  However, since the upcoming v24 release, Bitcoin Core automatically generates a new transient address for every outbound I2P peer connection when listening is off, i.e. when your node doesn't accept inbound connections (`-i2pacceptincoming=0`).\n\nCJDNS is generally quite fast but does not hide the sender and the recipient from intermediate routers.  It was designed to be used with a friend-of-a-friend topology.  It builds an overlay network which traverses NAT (Network Address Translation), exposing all ports of every node to every other node within the network. Those who are used to relying on NAT to protect their devices may find this troublesome.\n\nOverall, it is good to have options and redundancy.  I've found both I2P and CJDNS to  work very well for my nodes alongside Tor, and they generally show the first peer connections on node startup.\n\n---\n\nThere are also security considerations with running only Tor, i.e.  `-onlynet=onion`.\n\nSybil/Eclipse attacks:  If you only make random Tor connections, you're much more vulnerable to Sybil attacks. As Tor addresses may be created at no cost, an attacker can potentially flood the network with many Tor nodes and take all of your node's outbound connection slots.\n\nIf all of your connections are controlled by a Sybil attacker, they can prevent you from seeing confirmed transactions and, with more difficulty, even trick your node into falsely reporting a transaction as confirmed on the blockchain with the most cumulative chainwork.\n\nThis can be alleviated by making manual `-addnode` connections to trusted peers, as a connection to a single honest peer is enough to thwart an attempted eclipse attack. (It can also be alleviated with IPv4/IPv6 connections -- particularly when using the `-asmap` configuration option -- due to the cost of obtaining IPs in many networks.)\n\nNetwork Partitioning:  If too many nodes use `-onlynet=onion`, it could become difficult for onion nodes to communicate with clearnet, I2P, and CJDNS nodes, preventing the Tor network from seeing recent transactions and blocks. It is essential that some nodes access multiple networks.\n\n---\n\nBonus info:\n\nHistorically, on mainnet the Bitcoin Core P2P listening port has been `8333` -- Bitcoin Core had a strong preference for only connecting to nodes that listen on that port.\n\nSince Bitcoin Core v23, that preference was removed, because connections over clearnet involving port 8333 make it easy to detect, analyze, block or divert Bitcoin P2P traffic before the connection is even established (at TCP SYN time).\n\n---\n\nRESOURCES\n\nBIP 155:\n-
