You can just do things! But if you're interested and don't know where to start, maybe a comment in #bitcoin-core-pr-reviews? I'm very happy to help people ramp up / look for things to do
<glozow>
I didn't say I have bitcoin, I have pizzas
<stickies-v>
i thought core devs don't have bitcoin
<glozow>
Perhaps we can use this channel or #bitcoin-core-pr-reviews as a helpdesk for it next week. Please please do join in :)

From novo__: Hi I won't be available for the irc meeting. This is the update for SIlent Payments; josibake is off for now, so I and theStack will be taking over the PRs. A new silentpayments secp module PR has been opened by theStack https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/1765 (limited to full-node scanning to make it easier to merge). We will update https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28122
<TheCharlatan>
yes, purpleKarrot had suggested a naming in his own experimental api. I think it makes sense, but it does break convention with other C APIs under the bitcoin-core umbrella, e.g. minisketch and libsecp256k1.
<TheCharlatan>
This versioning approach seemed a bit confusing to some, and would still practically tie bitcoin core versioning with the kernel library.
<laanwj>
i'd guess that works for languages that have a very active bitcoin community, like rust, yes
<TheCharlatan>
I talked to a few people working on language-specific bitcoin tooling (bitcoinj, rust-bitcoin, btcsuite) and some have voiced support for hosting bindings under their org umbrella. A project even offered nice domain names :P
<laanwj>
would make sense to make a repository for that under bitcoin-core
<TheCharlatan>
I.e. should these live in bitcoin-core/bindings, bitcoin/bindings, or somewhere else.

hiding the bip30 checks behind assumevalid, which would enable us removing the bloom filters from LevelDB since we won't need to check for missing entries anymore. This seems to shrink the on-disk UTXO size by roughly 1% (122MB smaller, see the draft here https://github.com/l0rinc/bitcoin/pull/49) while slightly speeding up IBD as well. I'd be interested in what concerns people have about this idea.
