Notes https://vibe.planb.network/planb_program_dev_masterclasses/speakers/jon-atack.html Some nuggets/quotes I found interesting or funny: > Initially, the code had a huge main.cpp where most of the transaction validation logic lived (>5000 loc), which suggests Satoshi was not a professional C++ developer.
> Bitcoin core currently has only about 40 active individuals and is struggling to find new developers. “It’s important to understand how few people work on the Bitcoin protocol” “Actively full time maybe 30-40 people in the world.” “In the past year or two there has been no new developer” “Now is a good time to work on bitcoin core.” > Coding style “The code base is being gently refactored over time. You have to curb your urge to clean-up the code, as this can introduce bugs.” > Changes that affect the consensus require the highest level of review. “It has been a while since there has been an accidental fork” > “It’s funny how much importance people give to BIP numbers and what number it is. I would prefer they attach more importance to actually finishing their draft” > “Give what you want. You want review, give review. Reviewing other people’s work is a forever green way of adding value and making friends.” “You have to not care too much about how fast your own stuff gets in”. > “There are so many more people who want to post on X, and so few who actually want to read the code” npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Falling back to Lau Pasat because of the rain #bitcoinwalksg https://blossom.primal.net/e058897759084f23d88261bbe54474e87d1ac4274581280e5df76deb921fcf6d.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/fa0dbc5bdd6d5da1b0b4f861347acf50030cb6cd3a35ddbc3f98fbf8bd08d778.jpg npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon To read #nevent1q…378f npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon It’s tomorrow #nevent1q…yx0p npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Official walk page https://bitcoinwalk.org/singapore/ npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Yet another #BitcoinWalkSG on Wed 25th February Join fellow enthusiasts for a casual after-work stroll around Gardens by the Bay.

I attended a Bitcoin run last night. 25min run around Fort Canning in the evening heat, followed by a food court meal and a good chat. Organised by @mrdgw https://meetu.ps/e/PLqwc/vxTs1/i @mrdgw started this meetup 6 months ago with education in mind and it takes place consistently every week. Anyone wanting to learn more about Bitcoin is welcome to join. https://blossom.primal.net/69d9552a8b5b81daeb8a4e024dfe89f1f3eaf4d183c720de00139497c78a41b0.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ba8f4159e9b9428c68c9c8c2c9096f51ab2ae63ee45d1f2ae040f0e26cd34765.jpg npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon 🤣 npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon The promise of the Internet in the 1990s: ubiquitous instant access to knowledge will make us wiser The reality in the 2020s: we got better at identifying blurry bicycles npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Cafetaria da Esquina is a good place https://maps.app.goo.gl/PTRavvZNgjroXryE7?g_st=ipc npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Software engineering npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon Christmas gifts ideas… https://heatbit.com/pages/heatbit-canvas https://blossom.primal.net/f1da3e3cf3f8e67ae65eb33203f3637a85ad5702798b4c0941e2dacad5406642.jpg npub16nd6gm54kk5jf72hzv4glwcqwtka8s28p8x6m4cddxlmum3d8nhs9lftma CodingInLondon I don't care about liquid glass.

Unlike 21Energy, the heatbit does not have a recycled S9 inside. Instead the chip was purpose-built. This makes a bit difference in terms of efficiency.
