Selected Q&A from Bitcoin Stack Exchange:
- How can I manually (on paper) calculate a Bitcoin public key from a private key?
- Why are there 17 native segwit versions?
- Does 0 OP_CSV force the spending transaction to signal BIP125 replaceability?
- How do route hints affect pathfinding?
- What does it mean that the security of 256-bit ECDSA, and therefore Bitcoin keys, is 128 bits?

Cluster mempool is a proposal to associate each unconfirmed transaction in a mempool with related transactions, creating a cluster. Each cluster of transactions, whether it be a single transaction or several transactions, can be ordered from most desirable to mine to least desirable, allowing operations for adding or removing new clusters to complete fast enough to use them in P2P network code...

Redundant overpayments are LN payments split into parts where the spender sends a greater amount and more parts than necessary to pay the receiver’s invoice.
Even if some of the parts fail to arrive at the receiver’s node on the first try due to forwarding failures, enough of the other parts may arrive to allow the receiver to claim their invoiced amount...
