## Workshops #3, #4 and #5 - Schnorr and Taproot Seminars {#taproot-workshop}
12+
13+
- San Francisco, September 24 2019

*Schnorr signatures* and *Taproot* are proposed changes to the Bitcoin
18+
protocol that promise greatly improved privacy, fungibility, scalability and
19+
functionality.
20+
21+
Bitcoin Optech hosted two seminar format workshops which included a mixture of
22+
presentations, coding exercises and discussions, and gave engineers at
23+
member companies an understanding of how these new technologies work and how
24+
they can be applied to their products and services. The workshops also provided
25+
engineers an opportunity to take part in the feedback process while these
26+
technologies are still in the proposal stage.
27+
28+
[All material from the workshops][taproot workshop blog post] is available on this website, so engineers can
29+
learn about the schnorr/taproot proposals at home.

## Workshop #1 - San Francisco, July 17 2018
52+
53+
Bitcoin Optech held our first roundtable workshop in San Francisco on July 17 2018:
54+
55+
- Topics were discussed in a roundtable format in which every participant had an
56+
equal opportunity to engage.
57+
58+
- Each topic had a moderator and notetaker. The moderator was responsible for a
59+
brief introduction of a topic and keeping discussion on track and on time.
60+
61+
- To make sure that participants were comfortable to speak freely, notes and
62+
action items were distributed to participants but not beyond. Participants
63+
were free to share discussion details internally at their companies and
64+
publicly, but did not attribute any particular statement to a given individual
65+
(Chatham House Rules).
66+
67+
In attendance were 14 engineers from SF Bay Area Bitcoin companies and open
68+
source projects.
69+
70+
#### Topics
71+
72+
- Coin selection
73+
- Fee estimation, RBF, CPFP best practices
74+
- Optech community and communication
