It has been too long, but here I got a small update.
I finished a few of the coding challenges of the BOSS challenge mentioned previously:
- Make Bitcoin Core fail a singular unit test (C++)
- Signet Wallet 1: Calculate balance of a wallet using p2tr addresses (Rust)
- Signet Wallet 2: Create a transaction to spend to a 2-of-2 multisig, and another to spend from the multisig to an OP_RETURN (Rust)
- Select coins from a wallet for a list of transactions with a certain minimum fee efficiency (Rust)
- Basic lnd lightning setup and testing funding and sending (Shell)
- Build a lightning route, accounting for fees and CLTV deltas (Rust)
I'm pretty satisfied with what I learned. The latter part of the program includes learning with cohorts and such, but I veered off to try to initiate two projects that can hopefully let people statically generate a website from their Nostr events with Hugo more easily and avoid pesky javascript in the browser, which I love to hate. I'm now using those to generate my site:
