i had a good time presenting at @BitDevsKaduna. we broke down the evolving threat model for Bitcoin self custody( from $5 wrench attacks to single point of failure hardware vulnerabllities like the single device RNG/entropy flaws.)

4 Things to Do This Saturday! 🧡 1. Learn what you're holding. 2. Understand how Bitcoin works. 3. Build the habit of stacking. 4. Enjoy the meme below. 😂 ₿itcoin is a long-term journey. Keep learning. Keep stacking.⚡

The worst part of every project is if you need some Google API key.

Rita (@Camilla_rhi) is a developer based in Lagos 🇳🇬, focused on LDK Node. LDK Node is a ready-to-use Lightning node library that helps developers add Lightning functionality to their applications. With the long-term grant, Rita will work on making it more reliable and easier to integrate, helping developers build applications that support both on-chain and Lightning payments. She is also an active member of @BitDevsLagos and a @btrust_builders pathway chaperone, supporting developers as they deepen their understanding of Bitcoin.

We’re excited to announce the Q3 2026 Btrust developer grant recipients. 🚀 Ten Bitcoin open-source developers are receiving support: five starter grant recipients and five long-term open-source cohort members. This quarter also marks an important first: Btrust developer grants are going directly to developers outside Africa. Through our recent expansion of long-term grants across the Global Majority, we’re now supporting developers in Brazil 🇧🇷 and India 🇮🇳. Their work, alongside that of recipients in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪, spans @bitcoincoreorg, mining ⛏️ infrastructure, Lightning⚡, wallet libraries, and privacy-preserving payments. Meet the recipients and learn about their work:

Abraham (@abeeujah) is a developer based in Nigeria 🇳🇬, whose Bitcoin open-source journey began through @BitDevsKaduna. He built his knowledge through @ChaincodeLabs’ protocol development seminars, the @FreeRoutingAf Kaduna Lightning Developer Bootcamp, and Bitcoin Core Principles by @libdesatoshi. He also completed the 2026 BOSS Challenge and was featured by @btrust_builders as one of eleven African participants whose journeys stood out. With the starter grant, Abraham will focus on testing, protocol libraries, and developer tooling across rust-bitcoin and rust-lightning, strengthening the building blocks developers use for Bitcoin and Lightning applications.

I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.

There's someone who keeps trying to donate 5 AUD and it keeps being returned since we don't have their full name to pass this review. It's likely mainly caused by sanctions enforcement. There are often name collisions especially in cases where the sending bank gives initials.
