- 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.
