Wasabi Not Going Over Tor?
Because the Bitcoin library that Wasabi uses started supporting Tor to connect to bitcoin peers but not for querying DNS records. I have just open a feature request for this: https://github.com/MetacoSA/NBitcoin/issues/977

Prototyping generic Bitcoin Smart contract
Then let’s model these relations using F# type. We are going to use NBitcoin to represent Bitcoin specific classes, and my own DotNetLightning off-chain specific types.

Prototyping generic Bitcoin Smart contract
While ago, I’ve been building F# library for the Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN), DotNetLightning. After (barely) finishing my first iteration, I’ve noticed that there is a more matured library called rust-lightning for doing the same for the rustlang, and I’ve switched my efforts to its .NET binding with C# After working for both F# and C# for a decent amount of time, I noticed that it both has goodies and baddies for different domains. One particular domain I think that F# is a clear winner is for prototyping a new idea.
