Oldey but a goody, relevant to fork discussions and a topic from earlier in the year about syncing with old versions of core

Two things I made this month:

• Bitcoin Chess: https://github.com/supertestnet/bitcoin-chess (uses key tweaking to hide chess moves in bitcoin pubkeys, meant to teach devs how key tweaking works)

• Vanilla JS browser wallet: https://github.com/supertestnet/vanilla-js-browser-wallet (a total of 642 lines of code including about 70 lines of css and 80 lines of html. I also used the following libraries which are not included in the code-line count: qrcode.js, bitcoin-js, bip39, bip32, and buffer. The purpose of the wallet is so that web devs can easily customize it and put a non-custodial web wallet on their website or in their chrome extension.)

This new lightning node in scala is also neat: https://github.com/fiatjaf/cliche

It is almost as bare bones of a lightning implementation as it is possible to get. It does not even require an external source of blockchain data because it has a built in electrum client for that. Fiatjaf is now using it as the backend for lntxbot and he positively raves about it.

can just do the whole lnd v0.15 release notes instead of individual PRs. Highlights:

1. building block for stateless invoices
2. on-chain wallet fully Taproot-enabled, including PSBT and MuSig2 signing
3. can now get block & tx data direct from RPC instead of ZMQ
4. better docs on building lnd for mobile
