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
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!!
