In our latest blog post, Spiral’s Bitcoin Wizards are highlighting potential upgrades to the Bitcoin Scripting system that will enable improved scaling across the network, starting with topics like the economic limits of self-custody.

@reardencode@lucasdcf@boyacaxa@rusty_twit@stevenroose3 Spiral is still hiring full-time for a Wizard. We're very open to funding consensus change R&D work! In addition to it being a high quality R&D project, we'd also require
* no premature activation talk
* no clown shows on social media
* thorough risk and security analysis
