₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #007: Bitcoin Core PR Review Club 🧐

Bitcoin Core contributor and Chaincode Residency Alumni Fabian Jahr and others will join us this time. We get will get a short introduction to the Bitcoin Core PR Review Club and accompany a live session.

What is the Bitcoin Core PR Review Club?

Every Wednesday at 7 pm German time, part of the global Bitcoin research and developer community comes together on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for one hour. Following an agenda posted a few days prior, the participants review PRs (pull requests, that is proposed code updates) to Bitcoin Core, the reference implementation of Bitcoin.

These proposed code updates have to be evaluated if they are conceptually and technologically sound, and if they satisfy the necessary quality standards.

We will watch the chat session in our video call, and we will try to provide commentary, more general explanations and more context to the current topics being discussed. We'll also have time for more questions and answers afterwards.

This is our new in-depth, no-nonsense seminar series Satoshi's 21, which will take place every 21st of a month in various different locations (hackspace, co-working space, conference room, or similar), or online if circumstances so require.

We'll have one or more selected topics concerning Bitcoin's technology, security, ongoing development, economics, monetary theory, or its societal and political impact. Some preparation work might be required from participants in order to make the most out of the seminar.

Satoshi's 21 stands for:

• Every 21st of a month so that weekdays rotate
• 21 participants is the targeted and ideal working group size, but we could be more, we could be fewer
• And of course: honoring Bitcoin's monetary supply of 21 hundred trillion sats!
