Bitcoin Core IPC
Sjors Provoost

Since Bitcoin Core v30 you can use Cap'n Proto to connect to the node, which is much more powerful than RPC. It's currently only used for Stratum v2 but has the potential to do much more.

We'll use rust-bitcoin and bitcoin-capnp-types to try out the capabilities.

Additionally I'd like to discuss what new IPC methods would be useful, perhaps going beyond mining.
