Repo: bitcoin-core-onboarding

This repository is my long-term reading and thinking log while onboarding to Bitcoin Core as a developer.

It is not an official guide, but a curated and opinionated collection of:

• Original articles, talks, and resources about Bitcoin Core onboarding
• My faithful Chinese translations of selected texts
• My own commentary and technical notes as a developer
• Structured learning maps extracted from each article

The goal:

To build a reusable, high-signal knowledge base
for future Bitcoin Core contributors, especially Chinese developers.

本仓库是我进入 Bitcoin Core 开发 过程中的系统阅读与思考笔记。

它不是官方指南，而是一个带有我个人判断的集合，包含：

• 与 Bitcoin Core 入门相关的 原文文章、演讲与资源
• 我整理的 高质量中文翻译
• 我作为开发者写下的 技术批注与反思
• 从每篇文章中提炼的 学习路径与资源地图

目标是：

为未来想进入 Bitcoin Core 的开发者
——特别是中文世界的开发者——
提供一套可复用的高信噪比知识库。

Current structure:

bitcoin-core-onboarding/
├── README.md
└── 01-onboarding-to-bitcoin-core/
    ├── original.md
    ├── faithful-translation.md
    ├── commentary.md
    └── learning-map.md

随着阅读与翻译的积累，我会继续添加新的目录，例如：

02-xxxx/
03-xxxx/
...

当文章与批注积累到一定规模，我会将其进一步整理为一个全局学习地图，例如：

resources/
└── global-learning-map.md

该文件将帮助读者按照主题（如脚本、共识、网络、测试框架、C++ 等）系统性学习，而不是按原文顺序阅读。

I currently focus on Bitcoin programming, developer education,
and engineering practices built on top of the Taproot upgrade.
I am also writing a developer-focused technical book titled:

“Mastering Taproot”

This repo documents my own onboarding path into Bitcoin Core.

我目前专注于 Bitcoin 编程、开发者教育，以及基于 Taproot 升级的工程实践，
并在撰写一本面向开发者的技术书籍：

《Mastering Taproot》

本仓库记录了我进入 Bitcoin Core 代码库与社区文化的路径，
也希望未来的开发者可以复用这条路线。
