Does it make sense to include a chapter how to use native bitcoins in clarity contracts? Or is it out of scope

The chapter should explain

what state of the bitcoin chain clarity contracts can view
where clarity-bitcoin library is deployed on mainnet and how to use the contract
which contracts and applications use clarity-bitcoin (catamaran swaps, magic bridge, zest protocol, bitcoin faces/nfts)

Yea I agree , I think this info should be on plenty formats and on several levels , websites , clarity book also 🦴🦴

Sounds great to me. Are you suggesting you will write that chapter? 😉

When it comes to the last point:

which contracts and applications use clarity-bitcoin (catamaran swaps, magic bridge, zest protocol, bitcoin faces/nfts)

Right now the book does not really refer to any project so it would be a stylistic break. However I think a whole chapter with case studies / looking at various projects can make sense. Still, up to the community, the book is for everyone.
