Socratic Session: Bitcoin Core - Cherry Picked PRs and Project Updates

[btsea]

Description

A focused Socratic Seminar on Bitcoin protocol development. If you are curious about the latest updates in Bitcoin Core, this is the event for you. We'll be reviewing select pull requests as well as surveying some of the long-running development priorities within the project.

Because this is the first event of the Socratic Village, we will also spend a few minutes introducing the village at the start of the event.
