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.

在比特币之前，Stu花了很多时间担任Windows系统管理员，并在IT支持中。他的日常工作包括坐在坐在椅子上的漫长的日子组成，从事单调维护工作，重新配置系统以及为忘记它们的用户重置密码。

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. 

这是一种问题，实际上需要您以有意义的方式吸引您的注意力的问题是如此罕见，以至于您最终坐在周围希望大部分时间都会发生这种情况。

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在大量的停机时间里花了大部分时间浏览Reddit线程。但事实证明，这并不是一个糟糕的情况，因为这就是Stu发现自己在2017年左右进入比特币空间的方式。

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.

像许多比特币机一样，或者是即将成为比特币的人，在那个时期，Stu被吸引到当时的初始硬币产品（ICO）和Altcoin Frenzy中。同样，就像那个时候的许多比特币人一样，他在随机的未知项目中受到一些不好的投资而受到财务困扰，而他可能首先不应该投资。

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

比特币的重力不可避免地使他从众所周知的兔子洞中。

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. 

经过几年的了解，对比特币进行了深入了解，Stu遇到了一段疯狂的时期，并在2021年牛市的顶峰上辞去了工作，以寻找在比特币领域工作的机会。到那时，编程语言的锈蚀已被广泛用于不同的比特币项目和库中，因此Stu开始学习它，以便他可以为比特币做出贡献。

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，当他被迈克尔·蒂尔威尔（Michael Tildwell）聘请在ZBD工作时，他在空间中寻找一份工作，该公司使用闪电网络将比特币付款集成到视频游戏中。

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，但在他的空闲时间里，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告诉Bitcoin Magazine：“我在ZBD工作时，我的大多数附带项目都与我当时的感兴趣有关，我开始制作可以使用比特币的游戏。”

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，他建立了一个多人网络游戏Rain.lun，基于玩家在Satoshis中收集闪电螺栓的玩家，以更熟悉必须通过网络相互交流的构建应用程序。之后，他在NOSTR协议上构建了一个简单的连接4游戏。

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

斯图说：“这是学习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. 

“我于2024年在奥斯汀参加了BTC ++，这是剧本版。”四天的会议是去年左右围绕比特币脚本改进和盟约讨论的最密集的论坛。

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

斯图回忆说：“当时似乎已经有一些在比特币上建立盟约的共识。”

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

他补充说：“这使我对比特币脚本的工作方式感到非常感兴趣，并[带领]我尝试了Taproot和Bitcoin脚本……”

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

“我并没有真正得到很多东西，但这是学习脚本如何运作的好方法。”

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参加了另一个以开发人员为中心的会议TabConf，该会议每年在佐治亚州的亚特兰大举行。亚特兰大的对话也围绕盟约进行了严重旋转。

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. 

像所有以开发人员为中心的会议一样，TabConf参加了黑客马拉松。 Stu选择使用谨慎日志合约（DLC）构建一个项目，该项目使用户能够押注国际象棋比赛的结果。 STU很明显，围绕预先签名的大量交易构建软件为开发人员带来了很多复杂性。

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…” 

在讨论这个问题时，他说：“这个问题的答案似乎是CheckTemplaterify（CTV）。随着我想了解更多有关盟约的信息，CTV似乎是一个不错的起点，所以我开始将CTV集成到我的DLC国际象棋项目中。我不敢相信它使一切变得简单，它使一切变得简单……”

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继续使用CTV构建了支付池的概念验证原型。付款池是一个非常基本的第2层系统，其中大于两个未固定比特币输出的股份控制大于两个股份。

“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.” 

当被问及为什么他选择为付款池的概念验证工作时，他说：“我们可以不使用集中式第三方使用的每个人都可以扩展每个人使用比特币的一种方法。” “付款池是做到这一点的好方法，尤其是与其他第二层解决方案（例如闪电或方舟）一起。”

Covenants

盟约

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. 

在讨论中，盟约已成为一个有争议的问题。每个开发人员对他们都有个人看法，Stu也不例外。
