👋 Hello, Nostr!
Since we are new here, let us tell you more about what we are doing and how we are 🍊💊'ing the world.
We’re currently running the Plan ₿ Tech School—an 8-week premium course for developers. Students learn from top #Bitcoin professionals, compete through assignments and the top 21 earn a spot in a week-long in person bootcamp to collaborate, network and prepare to be new Bitcoin devs! 🚀
This week featured three really cool masterclasses:🎓✨
🛠️ First, @danielabrozzoni, Bitcoin dev, showed students how easy it can be to contribute to Bitcoin via open source.
A key takeaway from her session:💡 Grants can empower developers with freedom to innovate, but they also bring responsibility. https://m.primal.net/MvEY.mov
☠️ Next was Peter Todd, delivering "Bitcoin is Doomed," he unpacked technical challenges and trade-offs in Bitcoin's design.
In his session, a standout moment was one of his main concerns:
"I honestly worry about dependencies," he shared, and went deep into challenges and incentives within Bitcoin's protocol. https://m.primal.net/MvEa.mov
⚡ Then Tadge Dryja, coauthor of the Lightning Network White Paper, closed the week exploring the intricacies of scaling Bitcoin with the Lightning Network & even a masterclass on DLCs!
A not so shocking insight was that fears of legal repercussions are holding back further advancements in DLC technology.
🔥 A week packed with high-quality Bitcoin content comes to a close!
Now, it's time for the students to roll up their sleeves, apply their knowledge and keep building on their assignments.
Let's see what they create next! 💻✨
I'm looking forward to the lecture I'm giving there next week. Happy to support initiatives that train new open-source Bitcoin devs, you're doing Satoshi's work 🙏
Number of devs go up!
