honestly they don’t overlap that much, but understanding scripts + sigs is probably useful for lightning (but extremely not necessary)
hey thanks! i dont have any great monitoring recommendations but i like using ncdu to explore disk space usage
fun fact APO isn’t an opcode! it’s a sighash flag, so you’d write SIGHASH_APO not op-apo
APO is my favorite proposal but that’s mostly because i find it easier to reason about magic signatures than constructing complex tx commitments
yes! planning to do more in-person and online classes, starting next year
mostly just getting the existing classes (script, sigs, taproot, lightning) into a steady state but i’m also already plotting some fun other stuff
I did a 8 week online read-through of the papers in the white paper this year that I’d really love to start up again over the winter break
i travel a lot, i rarely have my laptop open these days. and if it is open, I’m probably working on something or scrolling twitter
i’m a lot more excited about getting stack traces. when i was new in my career, the program blowing up felt like a personal failure, and a good sign that programming wasn’t something i should be doing. now i get excited about stack traces because i like solving problems
conferences and classes and more content!! i feel like i really learned a lot about the power of working with other projects this year and I’m really excited about doing more collaborations next year
2025 is going to be 🤝
specifically though, some things I’m hoping to get done next year:
- btc++ conferences in brazil, austin, turkey, berlin, taiwan
- relaunch base58 classes, with a focus on building a network of base58 powered educators and education projects. maybe do our first collab or two for a in-depth class
- get liquidity ads shipped on core lightning!! ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
i’m not more active on stacker news because there’s not a mobile app. i know i know, there’s a mobile web version but i’m a native app maxi.
oh man i actually have a pretty cool story for this one. it took me a week to get my core-lightning node up and funded and a channel setup.
the first thing i did was go to an online lightning store someone was running out of china 🇨🇳 and buy a lightning lamp. it was sooo cool because there’s no way i could have made that payment without lightning. it showed up in my mailbox a week later and has been hanging in my office ever since!!
rusty had a branch of it in japan back in September, i’m not sure what the current status of it is. i’m also super excited about it
