This beautiful project posted on SN reminded me of the beautiful-in-a-different-way Learning bitcoin from the command line project. It's so cool to see the different resources available to help people get started, aiming at varying degrees of sophistication and assuming varying kinds of background.

What other great technical learning resources are around that people like? I'm particularly interested in ones that have this kind of dive-in energy, not just reference material, although especially beloved reference material is also welcome.

Hello! I'm confused as to why this guide defaults to interacting with bitcoin core through a VPS. Why not just install bitcoin core on my linux machine and learn the bitcoin-cli locally? Is there something in the Bitcoin Standup Project that makes this guide easier? I can install bitcoin and tor via the command line. I just don't understand why I would pay for a server and have to rely on external infrastructure when I could install bitcoin core locally.

Thanks for sharing.

This looks awesome
