  • Do we still have to use "bitcoin-cli getnewaddress "" legacy" on CLI? If not, run back through chapters that use legacy in their examples, starting in 3.3 Gonna leave it for now. A future version might shift to P2SH-SegWit as default.
  • Integrate discussions of SegWit into early parts of chapter 4. 6/23
  • Write chapter 4.6 6/23
