Hi list,

I'm proposing Tuesday 20th December at 18:00 UTC, i.e 1 week from now for the 2nd Bitcoin contracting primitives WG meeting.

As a soft proposal for an agenda, the first part could be to roam over all the contracting protocol use-cases and corresponding primitives, to ensure there is exhaustivity of the R&D effort w.r.t known ideas issued by the community during the past years. If you have been working on a primitive and corresponding use-cases, and it's missing in the current listing, feel free to open a PR or bump me to do so.

The second part could be to take time to listen to everyone blockers in their contracting primitives/covenant research, if someone would like more review on their proposals, or if someone would like to work on a code implementation and it misses familiarity with Bitcoin Core Script interpreter, or if someone would like to experiment a minimal use-case on bitcoin-inquisition, or if someone has conceptual questions on the primitive design approach, or if someone thinking to propose a new cryptosystem at the consensus-level for Bitcoin, or whatever [0].

Communication venue is #bitcoin-contracting-primitives-wg on Libera Chat. Logs of the previous session are available here [1].

Let it know if you have more questions or feedback.

Cheers,
Antoine

[0] My own goal is to keep rolling the ball on a taproot annex implementation (https://github.com/bitcoin-inquisition/bitcoin/pull/9) as it could be useful as a fee-bumping primitive/constrained amount malleability extension for multi-party channels, and potentially other uses.
