Bitcoin Network Monitoring with b10c: SLP707

Friday, December 19, 2025

In this episode, Stephan Livera and I discusses my work in the Bitcoin ecosystem, focusing on the importance of censorship resistance, the role of mining pools, and the implications of OFAC sanctions on Bitcoin transactions. I introduce my peer-observer project aimed at monitoring the Bitcoin P2P network for anomalies and attacks, and highlight the need for a collaborative approach to Bitcoin network operations through the Bitcoin Network Operations Collective.

My open-source work is currently funded by an OpenSats LTS grant. You can learn more about my funding and how to support my work on my funding page.
