Bitcoin Design Newsletter #76
BTC Prague dev/hack/day, ₿-only format, AI workshops, and more.
The community organized another design track at the BTC Prague dev/hack/day, and it was a blast. There were talks on the Bitcoin Core App, Bitcoin Safe, the state of Cashu (summary), Mining UX, bias in design, and much more. New this year were a socratic discussion around bitcoin design, and a user testing session towards the end of the day, both of which were well received. Big thanks to everyone who attended, presented, organized, or chipped in otherwise.
