1 2018-03-15 07:54:03 <FraJah> good mornings
 2 2018-03-15 21:47:19 <BlockchainBilly> I'm new to bitcoin developing and I'm wondering what the best way to get started is. I've looked for some resources but can't find a good starting point. Lots of noise. I've read a few chapters of Antonopoulos's book but have errors getting libbitcoin working. Anyway I have a few questions.
 3 2018-03-15 21:49:11 <BlockchainBilly> 1) Do all of the libraries like libbitcoin, pybitcointools, bcoin, etc compile to the "Bitcoin Script" language? 2) If I want to start developing apps should I write them in "Bitcoin Script", or a higher level language like libbitcoin in C++? 3) Does it matter if I use libbitcoin vs pybitcointools? 4) If I wanted to develop Lightning applications as well, would that be a totally different set of libraries?
 4 2018-03-15 21:51:47 <Randolf> BlockchainBilly:  Start here:  https://github.com/bitcoin/
 5 2018-03-15 21:51:57 <Randolf> BlockchainBilly:  Also, join the #bitcoin-core-dev channel.
 6 2018-03-15 21:52:12 <Randolf> That channel is a good one to introduce yourself in.
 7 2018-03-15 21:52:18 <Randolf> It's also a good one to keep an eye on.
 8 2018-03-15 21:52:39 <Randolf> The topics are pretty focused there on development issues, Pull Requests, etc.
 9 2018-03-15 21:52:47 <Randolf> For general Bitcoin chat there's the #bitcoin channel as well.
10 2018-03-15 21:52:53 <Randolf> BlockchainBilly:  I hope that helps.
11 2018-03-15 21:54:46 <BlockchainBilly> Thanks a lot Randolf! I will take a look at those channels and try looking into the github in more detail.
12 2018-03-15 21:56:43 <Randolf> You're welcome.
13 2018-03-15 22:54:23 <midnightmagic> This channel, thanks to that idiot jgarzik, is essentially dead. Therefore, for all non-specific-bitcoin-core related dev questions, currently the best place to ask appears to be #bitcoin itself.
14 2018-03-15 22:55:49 <Diablo-D3> what did jgarzik do now
15 2018-03-15 23:02:31 <midnightmagic> not now. a long time ago. his stupid tantrum is the reason why nobody wastes their time in here anymore, and why -core-dev exists in the first place.
16 2018-03-15 23:03:47 <Diablo-D3> ahh
17 2018-03-15 23:03:57 <Diablo-D3> is it why gmaxwell never comes here anymore too
18 2018-03-15 23:03:59 <Diablo-D3> ?
19 2018-03-15 23:04:05 <midnightmagic> he comes in here occasionally.
20 2018-03-15 23:04:21 <midnightmagic> just to see if it's come alive while he was gone. it never is.
21 2018-03-15 23:14:34 <Diablo-D3> ahh
