On (2), IMO it is the right thing to teach. I was just wondering how you knew it was. When I was doing chaincode, I felt like I learned everything really well but txs, which makes sense given chaincode's mission.
it's been pretty delightful to find out that what i wanted to teach is filling a gap <3

When Clint (at least I think it was him) was telling me about your class before it was base58, I was like "omg this is exactly what's needed."
It's really easy to get lost in the weeds with mining and stuff when txs are the things non-core developers are going to be using. txs are sort of like the api layer and everything else is implementation details.

There might be a big gap for lightning "api layer" classes too if not even more so. I get so many questions about how to build stuff "on top" of lightning.

What's something you believe about Bitcoin that few people agree with (including other bitcoiners)?
Forgive the Theilism.

tbh i don't really think too hard about being agreeable, so this is actually a harder question to answer than you'd think.
that being said, i am not convinced that we need to bring financial engineering primitives to the bitcoin ecosystem.
