Here are two BIP drafts that specify a proposal for a Taproot softfork. A number of ideas are included: * Taproot to make all outputs and cooperative spends indistinguishable from eachother. * Merkle branches to hide the unexecuted branches in scripts. * Schnorr signatures enable wallet software to use key aggregation/thresholds within one input. * Improvements to the signature hashing algorithm (...

What is the Coinkite Coldcard? It's a Bitcoin hardware wallet, so it signs transactions and can be used offline. BIP39 based, which means you can backup the secret words onto paper, and have lots of sub-accounts and unlimited independent payment addresses. It knows how to understand transactions, so you can see what you are approving. The first PSBT (BIP 174) native wallet which can be used comple...

In the last diary entry, we focused on building a very simple mesh network with broadcast and unicast capabilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DN4L... In this entry, I experiment with range and try and broadcast data across 1.2km of the bitcoin mesh network. The eventual goal is to be able to blanket my local village in bitcoin transaction data, to be able to send, receive and broadcast bitc...
