## Workshops #3, #4 and #5 - Schnorr and Taproot Seminars {#taproot-workshop}

- San Francisco, September 24 2019
- New York, September 27 2019
- London, February 5 2020

*Schnorr signatures* and *Taproot* are proposed changes to the Bitcoin
protocol that promise greatly improved privacy, fungibility, scalability and
functionality.

Bitcoin Optech hosted two seminar format workshops which included a mixture of
presentations, coding exercises and discussions, and gave engineers at
member companies an understanding of how these new technologies work and how
they can be applied to their products and services. The workshops also provided
engineers an opportunity to take part in the feedback process while these
technologies are still in the proposal stage.

[All material from the workshops][taproot workshop blog post] is available on this website, so engineers can
learn about the schnorr/taproot proposals at home.

## Workshop #2 - Paris, November 12-13 2018

Bitcoin Optech held our second roundtable workshop in Paris on November 12-13 2018.
The format was the same as the first workshop in San Francisco.

In attendance were 24 engineers from Bitcoin companies and open source
projects.

#### Topics

- Replace-by-fee vs. child-pays-for-parent as fee replacement techniques
- Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions ([BIP 174](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki))
- [Output script descriptors](https://gist.github.com/sipa/e3d23d498c430bb601c5bca83523fa82) for wallet interoperability
- Lightning wallet integration and applications for exchanges
- Approaches to coin selection & consolidation

#### Thanks

Thanks to Ledger for hosting the workshop and helping with organization.

## Workshop #1 - San Francisco, July 17 2018

Bitcoin Optech held our first roundtable workshop in San Francisco on July 17 2018:

- Topics were discussed in a roundtable format in which every participant had an
equal opportunity to engage.

- Each topic had a moderator and notetaker. The moderator was responsible for a
brief introduction of a topic and keeping discussion on track and on time.

- To make sure that participants were comfortable to speak freely, notes and
action items were distributed to participants but not beyond. Participants
were free to share discussion details internally at their companies and
publicly, but did not attribute any particular statement to a given individual
(Chatham House Rules).

In attendance were 14 engineers from SF Bay Area Bitcoin companies and open
source projects.

#### Topics

- Coin selection
- Fee estimation, RBF, CPFP best practices
- Optech community and communication

#### Thanks

Thanks to Square for hosting the workshop and Coinbase for helping with
organization.

I think the addition of the Current Status saying that we currently don’t plan any workshops is a great improvement. I don’t think the Previous Workshops section need to be hidden, it seems alright to me to just list them under a second section at the same level as Current Status, i.e.:

Current Status

Not planning anything at this time.

Previous Workshops

Workshop 3–5

Bla

Workshop 2


Could you explain why you think it would be better to hide the old workshops, @Walpurga03?

In my view, displaying old workshops that happened long ago gives your website an outdated or neglected impression. A streamlined first impression with less but more current content often looks more professional and inviting.
