Day 1 of Hack4Freedom Nairobi ✨🧡 A day of connection, learning & new possibilities. Workshops, shared experiences, and real conversations among women building, learning, and claiming their space in tech. Huge thanks to @DadaDevs, @btrustteam, @evento_so, and @SoapboxTech for believing in the Hack4Freedom — and in bringing more women closer to open technologies and the Bitcoin ecosystem. #hack4freedom #Hack4FreedomNairobi_2026

We were then joined by the amazing @tando_me team, Sabina and Jason, who shared their journey of building, taking risks and the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone. @Murugi___ from @btrust_builders followed with an important conversation on building in public reminding the devs that the journey itself can create opportunities, connections and visibility. You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect before you put your work out there. @abby_hanunah , who runs a community supporting women refugees, brought a different but equally important perspective: the power of women working together. Because building doesn’t have to be a solo journey. There is so much we can create when women share knowledge, open doors for one another, collaborate and collectively create opportunities.

Nah, he sold it to the right generation. The sense of ownership is good to see.

gente esse tweet meio que mudou a minha vida umas duas vezes nessa semana eu me dei conta que tava me colocando voluntariamente na jaula do olhar do outro e automaticamente parei de sentir vergonha

We’re excited to support the Nairobi 🇰🇪 edition of @hack4_freedom, happening from September 22nd to October 5th.

If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes. Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.

The day before Bitcoin Korea Conference, btc++ Privacy Edition will be held in Seoul for two days! 🛩️One trip, two conferences.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors for pushing Bitcoin & Lightning Developement across Africa and making sure the next generation of Bitcoin open-source contributors and Founders are well equipped for it. @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @afribitcoiners, @planb_network.

It was amazing to see developers go from ZERO to LIGHTNING DEVELOPER to FOUNDER. They presented their various projects and even leveraged on open-source tools, thanks to @btrust_builders, APIs from @Bitnob_official, and ideas from @Machankura8333.

.@Murugi___ and @StephTitcombe from @btrustteam also gave speeches to encourage the participants to keep on building and looking at going further into Bitcoin open-source and contributing to more projects. @Murugi___ also was on the panel that vetted the projects built.🤝

Opening the new Bitspace on 5th September, and would love to personally invite the people running other spaces and communities in Bangalore. It's weird building our second space and barely knowing anyone running the other ones in the city. If you know any of them (mentioned in the comments), an intro would mean a lot. Thanks!

🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 CRAZY that this is already our 3rd @hack4_freedom of 2026 and the 3rd country we’re bringing this program to!!! Nigeria, Brazil, now Kenya. What started as an idea to help more women enter bitcoin is becoming a real global pathway for women building freedom technology where it’s needed most ✊🧡 Thank you to @ibrahim_sekinah @marcelorraine @wandiology @Murugi___ @btrustteam @SoapboxTech for making Nairobi happen!

Our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Kigali officially came to an end yesterday 🇷🇼⚡ Five days of learning, building, contributing, and getting hands on with Bitcoin and Lightning came to an end yesterday. The final day was hackathon day. After four days of learning the fundamentals, working with Bitcoin Core, contributing to open source, building on Lightning, and exploring real world use cases, participants had the opportunity to put everything together and build. From ideas to working prototypes, it was amazing to see the creativity, technical skills, and energy in the room. More importantly, participants walked away with not just knowledge, but the confidence to keep building and contributing to the Bitcoin ecosystem. A huge thank you to every participant who showed up, asked questions, wrote code, broke things, fixed them, and kept learning throughout the week. 🙌 A special shoutout to our instructor, @dzeg5 , for taking the participants through an incredible five days of technical learning and hands on sessions. Your dedication made a huge difference. Also, a special shoutout to the @btrustteam, @Murugi___, and @StephTitcombe for joining us in Kigali and supporting the bootcamp. 🙌 And to our planning and organizing team, @EMbits, @JJ_the_creator and @MIhejimba, thank you for all the work behind the scenes that made this bootcamp happen. From logistics to coordination and everything in between, we appreciate you. ❤️ We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors and partners for making the Kigali Bitcoin Developer Bootcamp possible: @btrustteam , @HRF, @Tether_Africa , @afribitcoiners, and @planb_network, alongside our local partners and everyone who supported us in Kigali. Kigali, it has been a pleasure. This is only the beginning. Our next stop is Dar es Salaam 🚀

Day 1 of the Kigali Bitcoin Developer Bootcamp is in the books 🇷🇼⚡ Yesterday, we kicked things off by diving into the foundations of Bitcoin. We explored the history of Bitcoin, hash functions, cryptography, Proof of Work, and how Bitcoin works under the hood. Then it was time to get hands on. Participants set up Bitcoin Core, created wallets, sent transactions, listed transactions, and decoded transactions. The afternoon was dedicated to practical sessions, giving everyone the opportunity to interact directly with Bitcoin. A huge thank you to @StephTitcombe and @Murugi___ from @btrust_builders for joining us on Day 1 and taking the time to speak with the participants. It was great having you with us. Big shoutout to our instructor, @dzeg5 , for leading the sessions and helping bring the technical concepts to life.
