Description
<p>Gloria is a Bitcoin Core maintainer, primarily focused on the peer-to-peer protocol. Her projects include package relay (<a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0331.mediawiki" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">BIP 331</a>) and TRUC (<a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0431.mediawiki" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">BIP 431</a>), aimed at reducing censorship vectors and fee-bumping inefficiencies in transaction relay. She is sponsored by <a href="https://brink.dev/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Brink</a>, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting open source Bitcoin development.</p>
<p>Bitcoin Core maintainers are a small (and often misunderstood) group who are responsible for merging contributions from other developers into the codebase.</p>
<p>Gloria will discuss threats to Bitcoin, past, present and future, why she chose to pursue grant-funded development over a corporate position, and how her views on privacy and the need for censorship-resistant payments drive her work.</p>
