Just published: Schnorr Basics.
* How Schnorr signatures work

Thoroughly unreviewed by experts, please comment with corrections.
Coinbase must be using what ever price feed coinmarketcap was using π€‘
..quote "The current price is $48,403.68 per BTC. Bitcoin is 100.00% below the all time high of $887,377,113,476.79."
Anyone know why yahoo is reporting the BTC price ~$16K less than everyone else?

This book from 1997 predicts nations will get desperate for funding as tech like the internet and digital money make it easier for citizens to protect their savings.
They suggest states may even create excuses to limit taxpayer mobility, such as a global pandemic.

π¨ bdk v0.14.0 is hot off the press! Notable improvements include a new method on TxBuilder to embed data in a transaction via OP_RETURN and updating the Database trait to store the last sync timestamp and block height. And finally we have updated our integration test framework to verify support for sending to Taproot addresses π₯ ! https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v0.14.0
Interesting post from @kerkour on #rust crate backdooring:

Wanna know how @afilini created the first taproot π₯ `OP_CHECKSIGADD` transaction? Here's his writeup for you! https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/2021/11/first-bdk-taproot-tx-look-at-the-code-part-1
In this first part he talks about the changes he made to `rust-bitcoin` and `rust-miniscript`, the next one will focus on @bitcoindevkit itself

π¨ bdk v0.13.0 is now out (this toot is a little late, was released on Oct 28) and adds new the Wallet::get_tx() function which returns a single transactions made and received by the wallet. It also includes dependency updates to fix recent build and audit issues.
Anyone else use an Eero mesh router with the "Advanced Security" and "Ad Blocking" enabled? I've noticed this week it's blocked two 100% legit bitcoin related websites.
PS. yes I know I shouldn't use a corp controlled wireless mesh and secure gateway.. but time..open to suggestions on better DIY solutions.
