A Running list of bdk-cli demo ideas #111

@rajarshimaitra

Description

@rajarshimaitra

with the regtest-* features and bdk-cli repl mode various multisig and other smart contracting situations can be demonstrated with bdk-cli..

Examle: Show an workflow of a Liquid like federation using a corresponding descriptor and bdk cli.

These demos can be recorded in various forms.

  • Tutorial on the website.
  • A demo videos in the youtube channel.
  • Add it as a integration tests as both code level demo as well as consistency of these workflows with BDK API.

The general approach for a trial can be something like this

  • Use the https://min.sc/ compiler to create your own weird descriptor.
  • Split the descriptor for different parties involved in the compiler
  • Start multiple wallet repl terminals with each parties descriptor. They will default connect to a single regtest node so all parties will be in sync
  • Play around making transactions for various contract situations..

With this in mind we can start making a list of such interesting smart contracting situations with bitcoin scripts and demonstrate them out through BDK. Below is a list of basic ideas I imagined. Please comment below with more interesting contract ideas.

  • Basic demo of a single sig wallet. (An test version of this is included in Satoshi's Calculator. #102 )
  • Basic 2-of-3 multisig demo
  • Multisig with time locks. Something like @sandipndev cooked here.
  • A Liquid like federation demo
  • An HTLC lighting contract demo. Playing out what exactly happens with with lighting state updates and penalty mechanisms.
