FFM BTC Meetup: New features in Bitcoin Core v26.0

Thursday, October 19, 2023

The upcoming Bitcoin Core v26.0 release will include new experimental features like AssumeUTXO and P2P transport v2.

At the Frankfurt Bitcoin Meetup (German), I explained the Bitcoin Core development process, that for this release cycle contributors focused their review on specific projects, and when to expect the new release (after testing, where everyone can participate!). Then dove into the problems that AssumeUTXO and P2P transport provide solutions for and what these solutions are. This was followed by a small discussion.

No slides.

Bitcoin Core Development

At the “Bitcoin Burg Academy” I talked about Bitcoin Core development to an non-technical audience. Often when I talk to non-technical Bitcoiners, they don’t really know much about the Bitcoin Core open-source software project but are very interested to learn more about it. In this talk, I covered the basics starting from the beginning with Satoshi, to the early years without Satoshi, to how Bitcoin Core development works now. I detail how Bitcoin Core developers communicate, I briefly introduce GitHub, Issues, PRs, and review, and I discuss what jobs maintainers have and how Developer Funding works.
