According to PANews, 17-year-old Ishaana Misra has been awarded the inaugural Bitcoin Scholarship by New York's Chaincode Labs, making her the youngest core code contributor in Bitcoin's 15-year history. The scholarship was awarded from a pool of 232 global applicants and covers her tuition for one year, with the possibility of annual renewal to support her entire undergraduate education.
Misra began programming at the age of 12 and entered the Bitcoin field after reading the Bitcoin white paper before high school. Through self-study, she learned C++ and transitioned from running nodes to contributing to the Bitcoin Core codebase. Misra noted that the Bitcoin community values work results over age, creating a welcoming environment for young developers.
Adam Jonas, CEO of Chaincode Labs, stated that the scholarship aims to encourage young individuals to engage in Bitcoin open-source development and provide them with the necessary experience and educational support.#Bitcoin #Scholarship #CoreCodeContributor #ChaincodeLabs #IshaanaMisra #OpenSourceDevelopment #YoungDevelopers #Cplusplus #BTC
🚀 Bitcoin Developers Debate Removal of OP_Return Data Storage Limit

According to PANews, Bitcoin core developers are engaged in a heated debate over the proposal to remove the OP_Return data storage limit. The proposal, PR 32359, submitted by Peter Todd, suggests abolishing the current 83-byte data carrier output restriction. This proposal has theoretical support from Chaincode Labs developer Antoine Poinsot.
Developers argue that the existing limit has proven ineffective, as users continue to store non-financial data through various methods such as Taproot unspendable outputs and private miner memory pools like MARA Slipstream.
Proponents of the proposal believe the current restriction is ineffective and hinders legitimate use cases. Opponents, represented by Luke Dashjr, criticize the proposal as "completely insane," emphasizing the need to fix vulnerabilities rather than allowing "junk data attacks."
The debate is ongoing, with developers posting new comments hourly through email list threads and GitHub. Some express support with simple "concept ACK" comments, although comprehensive technical testing has yet to be conducted. Others oppose the proposal with "concept NACK" comments.#Bitcoin #OP_Return #data_storage #blockchain #cryptocurrency #developers #proposal #PeterTodd #ChaincodeLabs #Taproot #MARA_Slipstream #debate #BTC
