Bitcoin Privacy Workshop

​This workshop will be focused on Bitcoin privacy. Bitcoin is a transparent ledger and navigating how to use Bitcoin privately can be difficult.

​We will discuss KYC vs no KYC Bitcoin, fungibility, how to transact to optimize privacy, what is UTXO management / why is it important, and different wallets and tools that prioritize privacy.

​Topics:

​- KYC vs no KYC

​- Robosats, Bisq, HodlHodl, and other methods of acquiring btc privately

​-Privacy implications of using someone else's node vs. Using your own node

​- Fungibility (on chain vs lightning)

​- UTXO's, UTXO management, and common input ownership heuristics

​- Dangers of address reuse and tools to improve that ie BIP47 Paynyms, Silent Payments

​- Payjoin

​- Ashigaru Whirlpool/coinjoin

​To finish, the hope is to have open Q&A and discussion about anything Bitcoin related.

​This workshop is meant to be in more of a Socratic seminar format and on-topic questions/comments are encouraged throughout the workshop.
