new Base58 class dropping this spring: Wallets for Devs
Ever wanted to know how HD wallets work, or where xpubs come from? We'll also dig into descriptors, PSBTs and miniscript! (briefly)
online + in-person, first session starts online in March

one minor correction: the video says you can't tell what opcodes are used in unspent scripts.
this is true. you *can* however tell what version of scripts bitcoin is locked up to.
so theoretically you could remove support for a version of script once all bitcoin locked up to that script version had been spent.
there are currently 3 versions of scripts in bitcoin; none of them have ever been deprecated and all of them currently have funds locked up to them.
the most recently 'removed' opcode is OP_CHECKMULTISIG; it's available in pre-segwit and segwit v0 scripts.
it's not available for segwit v1 scripts (aka taproot scripts or tapscript)
@LynAlden asked a great question yesterday: why no temporary softforks?
Here's Base58's niftynei on the difficulty with adding opcodes to bitcoin

We just published our first update for Base58's World Famous LARP fundraiser, on our Geyser Fund page.
tldr: the first draft of instructor manuals and Bill of Materials for running a LARP are now out on github

Help us reach our goal of getting hands on understanding of the bitcoin protocol into the hands of thousands of bitcoiners around the globe!
We're looking to raise 27.5k for our initial production run and hoping that this is a number we can drive down considerably as we scale and build expertise in building these kits
By getting 50 kits out into the communities at once, we'll be jump starting the LARP community, and helping them get hands on experience running LARPs while helping us figure out how to open source the project in an easy to replicate way!
If every person in the community that gets a LARP game contributes just $8, we only need 70 people in each community to contribute to reach our goal!
Are you a meetup organizer, professional educator, or community leader?
Apply to get one of the first 50 kits! (Deadline for applications is Nov 15th)

Base58⛓️🔓 is excited to announce that we're taking the next step in scaling the World Famous Bitcoin LARP!
We're raising money to build 50 LARP sets that we can distribute to communities and meetups and educators around the world at no cost to them!
