Before Bitcoin, Stu spent his days working as a Windows System Administrator and in IT Support. His routine consisted of long boring days of sitting in a chair engaging in monotonous maintenance work, reconfiguring systems, and resetting passwords for users who’d forgotten them.

在比特幣之前，Stu花了很多時間擔任Windows系統管理員，並在IT支持中。他的日常工作包括坐在坐在椅子上的漫長的日子組成，從事單調維護工作，重新配置系統以及為忘記它們的用戶重置密碼。

It was the kind of job where a problem occurring that actually requires you to engage your attention in a meaningful way is so rare an occurrence that you wind up sitting around hoping for something like that to happen most of the time. 

這是一種問題，實際上需要您以有意義的方式吸引您的注意力的問題是如此罕見，以至於您最終坐在周圍希望大部分時間都會發生這種情況。

Stu spent most days just browsing through Reddit threads during his copious amounts of downtime. But this turned out to not be such a bad scenario in the end, as this was how Stu found himself pulled into the Bitcoin space around 2017. 

Stu在大量的停機時間里花了大部分時間瀏覽Reddit線程。但事實證明，這並不是一個糟糕的情況，因為這就是Stu發現自己在2017年左右進入比特幣空間的方式。

Like many Bitcoiners, or rather soon-to-be Bitcoiners, back in that period, Stu got sucked into the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and altcoin frenzy of the time. Also, like many Bitcoiners around that time, he wound up getting burned financially by some bad investments in random unknown projects in which he probably shouldn’t have invested in the first place.

像許多比特幣機一樣，或者是即將成為比特幣的人，在那個時期，Stu被吸引到當時的初始硬幣產品（ICO）和Altcoin Frenzy中。同樣，就像那個時候的許多比特幣人一樣，他在隨機的未知項目中受到一些不好的投資而受到財務困擾，而他可能首先不應該投資。

Inevtably the gravity of Bitcoin pulled him down the proverbial rabbit hole. 

比特幣的重力不可避免地使他從眾所周知的兔子洞中。

After a few years of learning more deeply about Bitcoin, Stu hit a period of frenzy and quit his job at the peak of the 2021 bull market to look for opportunities to work in the Bitcoin space. By that time the programming language Rust had become widely used in different Bitcoin projects and libraries, so Stu began learning it so that he could contribute to Bitcoin. 

經過幾年的了解，對比特幣進行了深入了解，Stu遇到了一段瘋狂的時期，並在2021年牛市的頂峰上辭去了工作，以尋找在比特幣領域工作的機會。到那時，編程語言的鏽蝕已被廣泛用於不同的比特幣項目和庫中，因此Stu開始學習它，以便他可以為比特幣做出貢獻。

Towards the end of 2022, his search for a job in the space ended when he was hired by Michael Tildwell to work at ZBD, a company that integrates bitcoin payments into videogames using the Lightning Network. 

到2022年底，當他被邁克爾·蒂爾威爾（Michael Tildwell）聘請在ZBD工作時，他在空間中尋找一份工作，該公司使用閃電網絡將比特幣付款集成到視頻遊戲中。

Working At ZBD

在ZBD工作

Stu worked DevOps at ZBD, but in his free time he kept working at prototype Rust projects.

Stu在ZBD工作了DevOps，但在他的空閒時間裡，他一直在原型Rust Projects工作。

“Most of my side projects are related to what I was interested in at the time, as I was working at ZBD I started making games that could use bitcoin,” Stu told Bitcoin Magazine. 

Stu告訴Bitcoin Magazine：“我在ZBD工作時，我的大多數附帶項目都與我當時的感興趣有關，我開始製作可以使用比特幣的遊戲。”

To start, he built a multiplayer web game, rain.run, based around players collecting lightning bolts for rewards in satoshis, to get more familiar with building applications that have to talk to each other over a network. Afterwards he built a simple connect4 game played over the Nostr protocol. 

首先，他建立了一個多人網絡遊戲Rain.lun，基於玩家在Satoshis中收集閃電螺栓的玩家，以更熟悉必須通過網絡相互交流的構建應用程序。之後，他在NOSTR協議上構建了一個簡單的連接4遊戲。

“[This] was a great way to learn how Nostr worked,” said Stu.

斯圖說：“這是學習NOSTR如何工作的好方法。”

“I attended btc++ in Austin in 2024, which was the Script edition.” The four day conference was the most dense forum for discussion around bitcoin script improvements and covenants in the last year or so. 

“我於2024年在奧斯汀參加了BTC ++，這是劇本版。”四天的會議是去年左右圍繞比特幣腳本改進和盟約討論的最密集的論壇。

“There seemed to be, at the time, some of a consensus developing for covenants on Bitcoin,” recalled Stu.

斯圖回憶說：“當時似乎已經有一些在比特幣上建立盟約的共識。”

“This got me really interested in how Bitcoin script worked and [led] me to experimenting with Taproot and Bitcoin scripts…” he added.

他補充說：“這使我對比特幣腳本的工作方式感到非常感興趣，並[帶領]我嘗試了Taproot和Bitcoin腳本……”

“I didn’t really end up with much but it was a great way to learn how scripts worked.” 

“我並沒有真正得到很多東西，但這是學習腳本如何運作的好方法。”

TABConf, Payment Pools, and CTV

TABCONF，付款池和CTV

In 2024, Stu attended TABConf, another developer-focused conference, which is held yearly in Atlanta, Georgia. The conversations in Atlanta also revolved heavily around covenants. 

2024年，Stu參加了另一個以開發人員為中心的會議TabConf，該會議每年在佐治亞州的亞特蘭大舉行。亞特蘭大的對話也圍繞盟約進行了嚴重旋轉。

Like all developer-focused conferences, TABConf put on a hackathon. Stu chose to build a project using Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), which enabled users to bet on the outcome of  chess matches. It became very obvious to Stu that building software around pre-signing large numbers of transactions introduced a lot of complexity for developers. 

像所有以開發人員為中心的會議一樣，TabConf參加了黑客馬拉松。 Stu選擇使用謹慎日誌合約（DLC）構建一個項目，該項目使用戶能夠押注國際象棋比賽的結果。 STU很明顯，圍繞預先簽名的大量交易構建軟件為開發人員帶來了很多複雜性。

Discussing this issue, he said: “The answer to this problem seemed to be CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY (CTV). As I wanted to learn more about covenants, CTV seemed like a good place to start, so I started integrating CTV into my DLC chess project. I couldn’t believe how simple it made everything…” 

在討論這個問題時，他說：“這個問題的答案似乎是CheckTemplaterify（CTV）。隨著我想了解更多有關盟約的信息，CTV似乎是一個不錯的起點，所以我開始將CTV集成到我的DLC國際象棋項目中。我不敢相信它使一切變得簡單，它使一切變得簡單……”

Stu went on to build a proof-of-concept prototype of a Payment Pool using CTV. Payment pools are a very basic layer 2 system where groups of larger than two share control over a single unspent bitcoin output. 

Stu繼續使用CTV構建了支付池的概念驗證原型。付款池是一個非常基本的第2層系統，其中大於兩個未固定比特幣輸出的股份控制大於兩個股份。

“One way we can scale bitcoin to be used by everyone, without using centralized third parties, is for users to share UTXO’s,” he said when asked why he chose to work on a proof-of-concept for a payment pool. “Payment pools are a great way to do this, especially alongside other layer 2 solutions such as Lightning or Ark.” 

當被問及為什麼他選擇為付款池的概念驗證工作時，他說：“我們可以不使用集中式第三方使用的每個人都可以擴展每個人使用比特幣的一種方法。” “付款池是做到這一點的好方法，尤其是與其他第二層解決方案（例如閃電或方舟）一起。”

Covenants

盟約

Covenants have become a contentious issue in the discussion about where to take Bitcoin going forward. Every developer has their personal opinion on them, and Stu is no exception. 

在討論中，盟約已成為一個有爭議的問題。每個開發人員對他們都有個人看法，Stu也不例外。
