Will Drivechain Centralise Bitcoin? with Shinobi (SLP512)

Drivechain is a proposed soft fork that has faced a lot of criticism in the community, and Shinobi (Technical Editor of Bitcoin Magazine) joins me to discuss his critiques of the idea. We discuss:

What is Drivechain
How it works
Miner centralisation
Re orgs on sidechains
T-shirt sales argument
Stratum v2
“Miners can steal”
Other soft fork ideas (e.g. APO, CTV)
Multi Party Channels
“First Develop with what we’ve got”
