Hey Murch,
given we are near the end of the year, and since you listed a bunch of things you accomplished during the last 12 months, my 2 questions are:
  • What are your plans for the next year? any planned surprises or anything you are looking forward to do/release.
  • What do you think will be the most important things/events that will happen in 2024, related to the bitcoin ecosystem?
I aim that 2024 will finally be the year that we get rid of the Knapsack coin selection algorithm in the Bitcoin Core codebase. I assume that there will be a few good parties around the halvening. I’m hoping to see Silent Payments, Cluster Mempool, and Package Relay (hopefully including Package RBF) get released. I don’t have any big surprises up my sleeve.
None of the above will be the most important things, though. I would guess that regulation of Bitcoin will be a focus in the next couple years which very well could have a huge impact on the overall direction of the project.

thanks, looking forward to see what happens.
