:::

- Evan
- Alpha release of bdk chain this week (15th Jan, 2023)
- Applying changesets should be safe and consistent, but if people do crazy things with changesets it might not be.
- TODO: edge cases in consistency, tx eviction conflicts, inflate_changeset, renaming things
- cover all the edge cases for chaingraph consistency in tests
- docs, comments, tests and release!
- After alpha release, coin selection and tx builder stuff
- TxBuilder steps: see https://github.com/LLFourn/bdk_core_staging/issues/40
- Coin selection needs rework
- Waiting 4 planning module
- Alekos
- Stuck on the planning module things :sob:
- "Hey remove this thing" and then he noticed he removed too much
- Waiting for reviewers
- Not possible to do it outside rust_miniscript
- Final/nearly final API -> february
- Daniela
- Got Nakamoto working
- Questions
- Examples are "stateless"? No!
- Stop gap (yes).
- Nakamoto events: Block connected, block disconnected (we need a API to disconnect a block).

- Raj
- Ideas on Transaction build:
- Coin control. Can be done paralelly independent of other stuffs
- Coin selection: Needs redesigning/improvements from Evan/Lloyd.
- Transaction building: Need planning module and coin selection to be finalized.
