Moved the call to Friday to be a little more spread out from other calls (design review often early week, community calls mid week). Let me know if this is okay for everyone.

Also, if the time is inconvenient I'm open to changing it, just let me know!

Call summary

Attendees: @johnsBeharry @GBKS @AlexaAker

-Discussed the UX implications of assumeUTXO, assumevalid and blockfilterindex RPCs on Bitcoin Core. assumeUTXO is a new method that to bootstrap your node that will likely be in upcoming Bitcoin Core releases. Block filters make scanning your copy of the blockchain for relevant transacations much faster but at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage requirements.

-Went over some new additions on @Bosch-0 project. Namely discussed work planned for re-designing bitcoincore.org.

-Discussed the new additions coming in Bitcoin Core 0.21 and the UX implications they will have. More specifically descriptor wallets were discussed in detail as to how they could be used to better manage wallets.
