Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) has become a prominent topic in the Bitcoin ecosystem and the larger technology industry in recent years. In his The Bitcoin Masterclasses in Slovenia, Dr. Craig Wright delved into this and more, and as sCrypt engineer Mihael Sinkec tells CoinGeek Backstage, Satoshi always has something for everyone.
The Bitcoin Masterclasses were held in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, Sinkec’s hometown.
“IPv6 is an area I think I’m still missing and wanted to know more about…Craig knows all these things and the potential uses for this technology,” Sinkec told CoinGeek Backstage host Becky Liggero.
sCrypt is a critical player in Bitcoin smart contracts, with Sinkec summarizing the company’s goal as “making it easier for developers to get on board, so they don’t have to go through the hassle” of the technical deep dive into writing smart contracts.
And while the term “smart contracts” gets thrown around a lot, Dr. Wright isn’t a big fan. Sinkec agrees with Satoshi, stressing that he prefers “script predicate.” But with “smart contracts” being the popular term, the software engineer reckons it will be a long time before the term is phased out.
As with his other sessions, Dr. Wright divided attendees into groups to discuss how IPv6 intertwines with Bitcoin. Sinkec was the leader of such a group, which was tasked with coming up with use cases for Bitcoin, IPv6 and related technology.
Dr. Wright has used these small groups to maximize audience participation, and according to Sinkec, they have been very effective.
“He’s very persistent about including people … and there’s a certain effect that makes you go, ‘I’ve got to think of something,’ and makes you remember things and learn.”
Led by Xiaohui Liu, sCrypt has continued to build tools that make building on Bitcoin easier and more efficient. The latest is the sCrypt smart contract verification plugin on WhatsOnChain that allows users to submit and verify sCrypt code for any deployed smart contract.
