πŸ‘‹ Hello, Nostr! Since we are new here, let us tell you more about what we are doing and how we are πŸŠπŸ’Š'ing the world. We’re currently running the Plan β‚Ώ Tech Schoolβ€”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! πŸš€ This week featured three really cool masterclasses:πŸŽ“βœ¨ πŸ› οΈ First, @danielabrozzoni, Bitcoin dev, showed students how easy it can be to contribute to Bitcoin via open source. A key takeaway from her session:πŸ’‘ Grants can empower developers with freedom to innovate, but they also bring responsibility. ☠️ 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. ⚑ 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. image πŸ”₯ 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! πŸ’»βœ¨
