Descriptors are a deeply underappreciated primitive; tough to grasp how much they improved output selection. Now descriptors plus miniscript? Superpower. We love to see what devs are deving with the combo. (cc to the amazing @bitcoin_design community)

OP_1SUB! For whenever you'd like to subtract one from your script stack Not widely used, but as with any stable language, a pillar of basic arithmetic. bitscript.app/OPS/OP_1SUB

Ever catch yourself wondering, "How can I increase the top item of the stack in script?" Well, use OP_1ADD of course! Typically not used in standard scripts, but seen in puzzles and script challenges. bitscript.app/OPS/OP_1ADD

Fascinating to watch the agentic wallet game heat up! If you're in the hard money space we recommended checking out both AIBTC (@aibtcdev) & Claw Cash (by the @arkade_os team). Both primarily focused on Bitcoin & built by first-rate teams 🦞🦞🦞

Wishing you all a very sound-money Merry Christmas. Don't forget to leave out a seed phrase for Santa!

Thrilled to publicly announce our latest new client highlight! One of the very first L2s that introduced merged mining, we're proud to have worked with @rootstock_io on [redacted]. They've been on our radar since the beginning so it's been exciting to finally get a chance to work with a monster of a team.

Exactly 17 years ago one of the most seminal works in financial history was published. A single system that removed trust, ensured consensus, & enforced digital scarcity through a combination of breakthroughs. We tip our hats to Satoshi & the giants that contributed to: Hashcash (proof-of-work) Haber–Stornetta (timestamping) BitGold (ledgering) P2P networking Asymmetric cryptography

Live from @PlebFi: @PortlandHODL broke down how miner policy shapes which metaprotocols thrive on Bitcoin. Miner-based filtering is highly effective, while node-based filtering is mostly for the vibes✨. Great insights on mempool dynamics, consensus, & real-world constraints!

Runes <> StarkNet only on @polybeaming 🌉 Been an interesting first few weeks learning all StarkNet has to offer. Cairo in particular is a fascinating language — it puts validity proofs front & center. Have you tried bridging over yet? 🚀

Announcement of an announcement! Can't reveal *quite* yet, but we just had a major breakthrough on an internal product we're cooking up. Exhilarated to unveil in a few weeks 🤞🤞🤞
