Don’t Trust, Verify. Reproducible Builds in Bitcoin
Bitcoin is built on the principle of "don’t trust, verify" , yet in practice, most users and even many developers cannot independently verify that released binaries correspond to the published source code. This talk will introduce reproducible builds from a developer’s perspective - what they are - why they matter for Bitcoin software, - how to implement them in their projects ( environment isolation, dependency pinning, deterministic toolchains, and independent verification workflows and a checklist developers can apply to make their own software reproducible.)
