Title: A very good and thorough Microsoft Research talk about Bitcoin and Zerocoin Post by: rikur on May 23, 2013, 01:11:24 AM http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/dl.aspx?id=192058
The site has slides and transcription too. I'm only 1/4 in, but so far it has been very, very good. If you still have some questions about how Bitcoin works, I highly recommend this video.

sounds like it would be a great idea if it wasn't so resource intensive. i guess the devs have already decided it's too confusing for the community. too bad. they may be right.

OT sounds to me like a more realistic idea for anonymity. I think it's a great concept one which I hope to someday see. However knowing the mindset of our developers, anything that requires inserting itself into the protocol just won't happen for fear of making a mistake. That's understandable.
