We just wrapped up week 5 of the Bitcoin CLI live cohort.🧑🏾‍💻

This week the cohort went deeper into Bitcoin scripts and explored how more advanced spending conditions are built into transactions.

In chapter 10, participants learned how Bitcoin scripts are embedded into P2SH (Pay-to-Script-Hash) transactions. This introduced a new way to lock funds using custom scripts while keeping the transaction itself simple.

The cohort explored how P2SH works, how multisig scripts are constructed, and how different SegWit script variations interact with these structures. By the end of the chapter, participants understood how funds sent to a P2SH address can later be unlocked by revealing and satisfying the script.

In Chapter 11, the focus shifted to timelocks inside Bitcoin scripts. Participants learned how scripts can control when funds become spendable using two important opcodes: CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) and CheckSequenceVerify (CSV).

These tools allow developers to create more flexible conditions, such as delaying spending until a certain block height or enforcing relative time delays.

Throughout the week, participants completed technical exercises, collaborated with their assigned partners, and prepared discussion responses.

During the live study session, participants shared their insights and the faculty helped guide group discussions around the week's topics.
