* [**Stephanie**](https://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/stephanie), [**Andreas**](https://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/andreas) and [**Adam**](https://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/adam), talk about [the first Sidechain](http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2015/10/13/bitbeat-blockstream-releases-first-so-called-sidechain-liquid/), called 'Liquid' coming early next year from the Blockstream team that aims to prevent future gox-like events by creating an almost voting-pools like multi-sig protected, bitcoin escrow'ing structure tying together different exchanges for liquidity and stability purposes.

* Then they get into the recent [Bitcoin Malleability issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0062.mediawiki) that first had headlines in the aftermath of the MtGox calamity and has recent re-emerged on the network in force. Adam explains his mis-understanding of the issue and how he's dealing with it at Tokenly and Andreas corrects his misconceptions and puts things into perspective.
