Scriptless scripts, Testnet 3 branch, Berlin Meetup
Welcome all subscribers! Excited by the initial interest, will try to make this as valuable as possible for you. Feedback on improvements to the format is always welcomed. I’m away next week, so the next letter might be delayed. Depends on whether I will have access to a reliable internet connection. /Daniel
