You may have seen some of my Q&A videos posted to YouTube and wondered where they come from. Some of them come from monthly Livestream Q&A sessions with people who support me on Patreon. (We call Patrons what they are: Community Builders.) Recently, Community Builders voted to open up these sessions to anyone who wants to join. This community is made up of incredible people, and I’m so grateful to have their support. We recently had our first open monthly Livestream. It went so well, I’ve decided to have a few more bonus Q&A sessions over the next few weeks.

1:43 Introduction
3:48 Today I tried putting a fake Bitcoin address in the blockchain explorer and it told me there was no match. But, when I put a brand new unused address, it recognized it. Does my wallet broadcast a new address?
5:57 If I mistype a Bitcoin address to send funds, will the transaction be rejected by the network as any typing error will result in an invalid address format due to the use of a checksum as part of the address format?
8:57 When SegWit1? What is the current roadmap to introduce Taproot, Schnorr, Eltoo (L2), and other improvements to the Bitcoin protocol
13:00 Hi Andreas, many Bitcoin block explorer websites will list the name of the mining pool that mined a specific block. How are these sites able to determine this information? My understanding is that blocks contain no identifiable information
15:43 I get the 1MB blocks & scaling with L2 narrative. However, I can't see this working globally. Say 1 billion people use BTC & 7 tx/s on L1: each p. gets to do an L1 tx once every 4,5 yrs! Possible solutions? And won't make these take forever?
21:30 Node count fall to 3-Year low - Why are nodes turning off? is it getting harder and harder to run bitcoin nodes with block sizes exceeding the rate of technological improvement?
25:50 I saw your speech at the Anon Summit. DO you plan to release it and do you have any more thoughts about how the narrative of society is overdue for a change?
27:17 With ASICs, the Halvening, and lots of large-scale mining operations is there still any point in individuals running just a few current-generation miners if electric is affordable (at ~.07 USD) and the goal is primarily to accumulate BTC?
31:05 Hi Andreas, what are the worst practices to store bitcoin?
35:24 is the miner software the same as the full bitcoin node?
38:15 If countries such as Venezuela can shut down Tor and VPN access using packet inspection, could this technique gain adoption among a growing number of countries as a way to restrict access to an open internet?
40:21 Is addressing reuse bringing disadvantages only to the recipient or also to the sender? I cannot prevent someone from sending me multiple payments at the same address, are they hurting my privacy?
46:45 How does the banking system work?
48:57 Bitcoin supports smart contracts. Some of them are simple, as n-m more is possible. And yet, very few use them. In the past you spoke about those uses; now you rarely do. DO they still matter? Where can someone learn how to write them?
53:12 How can I explain Bitcoin to my parents?
53:53 How repeated quantitative easing does not impact the US dollar? Is it because of not reaching to consensus for currency to replace USD in an international transaction? I see this is one more benefit of decentralization. Comments?
59:43 Conclusion and upcoming events

You may already know that my mission is to educate as many people as possible about #Bitcoin and open blockchain technologies. Participating in these Livestream sessions is one way to do that. Thank you for being part of this mission.
