Every session ends with a contribution. No exceptions.

Not "homework." Not "exercises." A contribution: a PR, a review, an issue triage, a docs fix - something with your name on it, in a real Bitcoin privacy repo, before you log off. Over 24 sessions that compounds into a public contribution record no CV can fake.

Four quarters. Four privacy layers.

Six sessions per quarter, each module anchored to the live repos you'll contribute to.

/Where_You_Contribute_

Real repos. Real maintainers.

Every PR tracked publicly →

✓ The track is for you if

→ You're comfortable in at least one programming language (Rust helps, not required) → You care about Bitcoin privacy enough to work on it for a year → You want a public contribution record, not a certificate → You can sustain ~3 hrs/week, bi-weekly sessions, for 12 months

✕ It's not for you if

→ You're brand new to programming - do rawBit first → You want theory without shipping - every session ends in a contribution → You can't commit to a 12-month arc - this is a marathon by design

Bitcoin privacy needs hands.
