I have already fallen off the wagon due to lack of structure. To combat this and get myself more of a roadmap to go from where I currently. I put together a 12-month roadmap for myself if anyone wants to follow along. This should cover basics of script, learning Python and then Rust, and finally focusing on one of the bleeding edge off chain solutions. Expectation for myself is 4 hours a day. 2 hours of theory, and 2 hours of coding.

Been deep diving into The Bitcoin Dev Project. Which I believe is a resource provided mostly by block. It's been fantastic so far. Highly recommend. https://bitcoindevs.xyz/bitcoin-core

Understand how the network functions at a high level. We all understand PoW and the mempool at a high level. I want to have a good understanding of the following basic concepts to build on in the future: - how script works conceptually - what are UTXOs at the protocol level - How are they unlocked and locked using cryptography - public-private keys - How wallet addresses are derived - Difference between the kinds of wallets - What is P2x (P2SH, P2TR, etc) - Where off-chain protocols fit into the onchain transaction and how they are secure - What is client side validation - Risks of p2p networks vs global state This are a few that come to mind. I'm sure i'll find more as I dig into details. I will link anything I find useful in Friday's update. Let me know if you want me to add them here as well.

Good morning, everyone.

Hey everyone, and welcome to the first "Scripters Block Weekly Update". It's exciting to kick off this learning journey into the complex world of Bitcoin Script. While today is just day 1, and i'll officially starting to dive in next week, I wanted to get this format established to keep us all aligned on how I'm thinking through things. - This Week's Key Learnings: - Most Intriguing Discovery: - Biggest Challenge Faced: - Lingering Questions/Areas for Deeper Dive: - Looking Ahead: - Valuable Resources & Tools: They're already 12 of you who are interested, that should be fun!
