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