Ruben @RubenSomsen joined @AaronvanW and me again to explain utreexo, a way to sync nodes with extremely little RAM, at the expense over more bandwidth: https://nadobtc.libsyn.com/-utreexo-w-ruben-somsen-nado-15
The Van Wirdum Sjorsnado: Utreexo w/ Ruben Somsen - NADO 15

On this episode of The Van Wirdum Sjorsnado, Aaron and Sjors are once again joined by Ruben Somsen. This time, the trio doesn’t discuss one of Somsen’s own proposals, but they dive into a concept by Tadge Dryja called Utreexo.   Helpful links:     Support the Show!

I'm still in the early days of thinking this through, but this idea from @RubenSomsen looks really excellent:

(Deliberately linking the tweet, because I believe you really need the diagram most of all to understand the idea, there is a gist linked in there too).

Basically coinswap with 2 instead of 4 transactions. This was always the dream for me, and it nicely connects with recent work on single signer ECDSA adaptors.
