0:00.0	TurboGyth seeks to scale Ethereum, and it's already in beta.
0:05.8	Good evening. I'm Bailey Reitzel, and this is late confirmation from CoinDesk, bringing you the top stories from September 21st, 2018.
0:14.5	On today's show, we'll talk about Cody Wilson's arrest in Taiwan, another supposedly better, faster, stronger ASIC from mining hardware
0:23.1	company Bitmain, and a new research paper that claims Tether has had no meaningful impact on the
0:28.5	price of Bitcoin. Plus, we'll have CoinDest reporter Nick Day on to talk about the latest

1:35.1	a compact string that is lighter to store and faster to retrieve. As a result, a full archive
1:40.4	node that stores the full history of the Ethereum state will require only 252
1:45.7	gigabytes of disk space compared to the 1.2 terabytes you now need. And this means that running
1:52.8	a full node will be significantly cheaper, which is an important feature to keep the network
1:57.5	decentralized. Cody Wilson has been arrested, best known as the creator of the 3D printed gun, but also
