Jonas Nick & Tim Ruffing, bitcoin researchers and
contributors at Blockstream rejoin me on the show, this time to
chat about half signature aggregation. This is a scaling
technique that can help scale Bitcoin and enable more
transactions inside a block or help with L2 protocols. We
discuss:

How this idea came to be

What is half aggregation vs ‘full aggregation’?

What kind of savings are possible?

What are the downsides?

How would this work in practice?

Is a soft fork required?

Next steps for discussion, research, contributors
