Dan gives a detailed explanation of how PDK works, why it exists, and what it can do for bitcoiners.
Dan Gould is a bitcoin developer who is hyper-focused on improving the ability of individuals to transact using bitcoin with better privacy assurances. Recently he launched the Payjoin Development Kit, which aims to make it easy for developers building bitcoin wallets and exchanges to implement Payjoin, which is a way of creating and executing a transaction in a way that perturbs common-input ownership heuristics used by chain surveillance companies to follow people through bitcoin's ledger as they transact. Dan gives a detailed explanation of how PDK works, why it exists, and what it can do for bitcoiners.
