Education & materials
[edit]

Videos - http://www.3blue1brown.com/, YT...

WP, Bitcoin.it wiki, BTC developer guide

Translate the wiki, guide, and code docs! Prioritize.

StackExchange, btc.core slack, IRC

Lopp.net? Google for reading lists? (kanzure++ :)

Reading sourcecode: BTC has lots coping with UTXO size; not an ideal first step

Early test projects & contribs? Mentorship?


Difficulty to learn: >1y to contribute.

Dev taking 9 mo, still not able to contribute. 20y C dev, after 4y barely comfortable crafting own txn from scratch.


Bootcamps : ChainCode... Other, introducing basics?

Full courses: Mastering BTC (book), Coursera, ... replicate deeplearning.ai

Bitcoin koans; Hackerrank for crypto; diverse & universal contributions, students, orgs

Core math | Programming exercises | Game theory | Security | OS/Git basics | Contracts

Implement Stupidity as complement to solidity & simplicity

Examples : BitDevs in NYC! Lots about blockchain, solidity; not so much about BTC.

Encourages getting everyone to dive in and talk; unlike SF presentation. [go and learn from them]
Open laptops and hack! (SF bitdevs tried this for a while, during Mission20 -- what happened to it?)

Training subsidies? corporate subsidies? for new tech.
