Ep. 134 Alejandro de la Torre on Miner Taproot Signalling
On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, Mario interviews Alejandro de la Torre of Poolin. We cover his time at btc.com, seeing the 2017 civil war from his insider perspective, and Poolin’s split away from Bitmain. We also dig into taproot signalling - the efforts to bridge communication gaps across cultures and industries, the firmware and node challenges for signalling, the unfortunate overlap of signalling and Chinese holidays, and what we as a community can do to encourage taproot activation in the coming weeks.
