Browser-based ₿itcoin script integrated development environment | Getting Bitcoiners off the sidelines & into the stack - why not you?bitscript.appJoined July 2023
WHEW! It’s been a while but we’re excited to confirm that you’ll be hearing from us much more frequently as we have a slate of articles, features, & improvements ready to ship.
We’ll leave you with a preview of an article ~coming~ soon.
Any guesses on what it’s about??
Would you support a BIP that:
1. Decreases OP_RETURN to 256 bytes
2. Removes the SegWit discount
3. Activates OP_CTV, OP_CSFS, & OP_CAT?
Curious, if not, why not?
Gib some visibility if you can plz 🙏, tryna see something:
Chad “we should build Bitcoin how we want” Gloria vs. Virgin “capitalism is evil” Luke.
(I’m sorry but if the former bothers you more than the latter you’re a deeply unserious Bitcoiner & should immediately sell)

We’ll communicate here more frequently on what’s coming down the pipeline.
For now we want to give a ~warm~ embrace to many of the folks along the way that gave us feedback, introduced us to the community, & generally had our back - a deep thank you 🙏 to the following:
@niftynei@wsfoxley@bergealex4@corcoranwill@PlebLab@AlexLi98@miketwenty1@libdesatoshi
Exhilarated that we can ~finally~ talk about this 🙌
Deep, deep sense of gratitude for the community we’ve built & the supporters along the way.
While this failed as a business, we’ve proudly made BitScript FOSS to continue the mission: onboard the next 1000 Bitcoin developers!
👩🏫 The Global South is underrepresented in Bitcoin development
BitScript (@bitscriptapp) trains devs across Latin America & Africa to build #Bitcoin tools via a browser-based ₿itcoin Script IDE.
With HRF’s support, it’s diversifying Bitcoin development to reflect global needs
If you’re a SWE interested in working on Bitcoin (or crypto), one of the biggest mental shifts is to switch from:
"How can I fetch / pass in X"
To
"How can I verify / proof X”
Critical intangible. Start with digital signatures & Merkle proofs.
One of my favorite tricks when looking at bytes in Bitcoin is to look at the *length* of the buffer.
Surprisingly, that alone usually reveals useful info:
20-bytes -> most recent hash was RIPEMD160
32-bytes -> most recent hash was SHA256
Take a break from Core vs Knots & brush up on digital signatures.
By *far* where the majority of Bitcoin innovation actually takes place, here’s a quick list to get you started👇
ECDSA
Multisig
Schnorr
MuSig2
Frost
Roast
Adaptor
Blind
Lamport
Quantam-resistant

Which P2P feature matters most for Bitcoin’s security?
Peer discovery | Block relay | Tx relay | Misbehavior handling | other

From peer discovery to banning bad actors, Bitcoin’s P2P network is a carefully engineered, attack-aware gossip mesh.
No servers. No leaders. Just code + cryptography + incentives.
📡 See it in action:

Bitcoin’s P2P network has no central server.
It’s a self-organizing gossip system where every node plays both student & teacher.
Here’s how a node goes from zero → fully synced → keeping Bitcoin alive ⚡🌐
