Bitcoin Design Update #23
Community 🧑🤝🧑
Community Call #28 is today, again via Twitter Spaces. We’ll chat about whether users need to know about the difference between the bitcoin and Lightning networks.
In the first call (recording) with the Galoy team, we talked about the complexities of receiving bitcoin for merchants in El Salvador.
The weekly Learning Bitcoin and Design calls covered the tech primer (recording), Lightning liquidity and payment request (recording). Info on the next call can be found here.
In Design Guide Jam Session #21 (recording) we discussed the ongoing work on the guide, which you can keep up with via the roadmap.
There were two sessions for the Bitcoin Design Sprints (recording #1 and #2). The group is currently exploring concepts and prototyping. Join #wallet-improvement.
