As I understand it this PR will allow `rust-miniscript` to determine the best way to spend a complex miniscript based output given what the user has (private keys, hash pre-images) and when they want their tx to be valid (time locks). I’m sure @danielabrozzoni and @afilini can explain it better but I know it’s going to make descriptor/miniscript based wallets much cooler. 😎

Chatted with @Shawn about Neal Stephenson’s “Diamond Age” over lunch today and now I can’t get it out of my head. Overdue for a re-read. What ever happened to the nano-tech future we were promised?

@Saifedean Ammous and Doug Casey discussing money and the past, present, and future of the world. Where they disagree is as fascinating as where they agree. I love how they let each other talk and make their case at length, and then thoughtfully respond. Much wisdom packed into a 1:39 listen.

Last week at @Bitcoin Park was all about #LightningNetwork. I started with @niftynei() 🇺🇸💸🧡 ’s new @Base58⛓🔓 Lightning Class and now feel competent enough to try setting up my own LN node. Part of the class was simulating LN updates with paper cards which I highly recommend! ⚡️
