The following TODO items are intended for a 3.0 version of Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line The following TODO items are intended for a 3.0 version of Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line
## Medium-Scale Updates ## Immediate TODO (for 1/29)
1. Update Stackscripts to support/default signet
2. Update non-Linode script too
3. Revise §2.1 for newest Stackscript
4. Puzzle out organization for overall project
5. Change testnet to signet + list out network options
## Revisions
The following updates involve updates or the creation of new chapters, but their additions are generally bounded and known. The following updates involve updates or the creation of new chapters, but their additions are generally bounded and known.

The next step in revisions is:
1. Run through entire course & make sure all commands & responses are still accurate (likely redoing them all).
## Additions
The following updates involve the large-scale work done on Schnorr and Taproot in Bitcoin Core 0.21 and 22. This represents a first cut at how to layout the work, but revision and expansion will likely be needed as everyone's understanding of these new technologies matures.
