Videos - http://www.3blue1brown.com/, YT...<br />
StackExchange, btc.core slack, IRC<br />
Lopp.net? Google for reading lists? (kanzure++ :)<br />
<br />
Reading sourcecode: BTC has lots coping with UTXO size; not an ideal first step<br />
Early test projects & contribs? Mentorship?<br />
<br />
Difficulty to learn: >1y to contribute.<br />
Dev taking 9 mo, still not able to contribute. 20y C dev, after 4y barely comfortable crafting own txn from scratch.<br />
<br />
Bitcoin koans; Hackerrank for crypto; diverse & universal contributions, students, orgs<br />
Implement Stupidity as complement to solidity & simplicity<br />
Examples : BitDevs in NYC! Lots about blockchain, solidity; not so much about BTC.<br />
Encourages getting everyone to dive in and talk; unlike SF presentation. [go and learn from them]<br />
Open laptops and hack! (SF bitdevs tried this for a while, during Mission20 -- what happened to it?)<br />
Training subsidies? corporate subsidies? for new tech.<br />
Plenty of expensive courses (Berkeley $4k/wk?)<br />
