As Mike says it depends on your interests. But one thing that is almost

changing things as I read, "if I understand this correctly, this change

break the build", etc.
But again, is up to you.

Hey Gabe,

That's diving into the deep end for sure! :)

What are some current things that are lacking in Bitcoin core? Or am I
better off making something else for the ecosystem?

That depends on your interests.

Many of the highest priority tasks in Bitcoin Core are rather
complicated, unfortunately, even for people with experience. You can cons=
ult
the issue tracker to get a feel for it.

Alternatively, there are lots of wallet apps out there and plenty of more
straightforward projects on them. However they may have less of a researc=

flavour.
