Friends, I’m hosting another Programming Lightning workshop at the stunning @PresidioBitcoin! During this 1-day workshop, we'll build a Lightning channel from scratch. Along the way, we'll leverage the following educational tools to ensure that participants come away with a deep understanding of topics such as asymmetric commitment transactions, revocation keys, HTLCs, and more: - Coding exercises - Socratic method (question-driven learning) - LOTS of diagrams - Small-group discussions, where participants teach each other to reinforce concepts collaboratively If you're in the SF Bay Area and would like to attend, please fill out this form: image

Are there any Nostr relays that will pull posts from X or BlueSky and post them on Nostr? There are lots of conversations happening on these other platforms that I would like to see, but I don't want to have to open three apps (X, BlueSky, Nostr). Of course, we wouldn't be able to interact with the poster, but it can still spark discussion on Nostr. Also, all the zaps sent to the post can help fund the relay.

Internet friends, I’m a @Spiral grantee working on Programming Lightning (PL), a course that teaches devs how Lightning works. I'm hosting a PL alpha workshop in February at the beautiful Presidio Bitcoin. If you're located in the SF Bay Area and interested in joining and providing feedback to help make this course amazing, plz fill out this form: While this event will be in-person (😎) in San Francisco, there will be online sessions in the future for those who would like to attend virtually. Pura Vida, Austin

The urge to quit my job so that I can think and write about Bitcoin is strong. The funding to do so is not. A cruel predicament, indeed.
