BTCPay Server v2.1.0 is out!!!

🔐 New MultiSig experience
🚅 New fee acceleration (RBF + CPFP)
🏬 New integrations Shopify V2, ecwid & Ghost

🔌New Plugins (Cash Payment & Satoshi Tickets)
🧩Removing XMR and ZEC community code and moving it into separate plugins



🔒 MultiSig received a complete makeover thanks to @UNCLE ROCKSTAR & @kukks. You can now easily manage collaborative custody with multiple signatures, coordinate signatures (by sending an email), sign via any hardware wallet and get email notifications whenever there's a status update.



⚡️We've significantly improved fee acceleration. Merchants can effortlessly speed up transactions stuck in the mempool using Replace-By-Fee (RBF) for outgoing payments or batch-accelerate incoming transactions with Child-Pays-for-Parent (CPFP) without relaying on a third-party service and paying additional service fees for acceleration.

In December 2024, we hosted the first-ever Btrust Developer Day, in partnership with the @Africa Bitcoin Conference.

It was a space where African developers came together to build, learn and explore the open-source Bitcoin ecosystem.

From hands-on sessions to deep technical conversations, it was a reminder that Africa isn’t waiting to be included, we’re already building.

📹 Watch the highlights and stay tuned for updates on what’s next.

Understanding Bitcoin theoretically is great, but nothing beats practical experience.

That’s why we created the Learn Bitcoin from the Command Line pathway. It is a 7-week intensive track designed to help developers interact directly with Bitcoin Core using the command-line interface (CLI).

Participants in this pathway gain real-world experience by working with actual Bitcoin transactions, nodes, and scripting tools.

This pathway covers:
✅ How to run a Bitcoin full node and contribute to the network.
✅ Hands-on practice with Bitcoin Core CLI commands (bitcoin-cli).
✅ Learning how to analyze transactions, UTXOs, and scripting concepts.
✅ Real-world exercises & problem-solving scenarios.

The program follows a peer-learning format, where developers work in structured study groups to solve challenges, practice Bitcoin CLI commands, and engage in discussions to reinforce their understanding.

The first Bitcoin CLI cohort started March 17,

Over the next couple of days, we'll go over each of the five pathways and give an overview of what each entails. First up is Mastering Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency, it’s an entire technological movement. To build on Bitcoin, you need a deep understanding of its foundations, and that’s exactly what the Mastering Bitcoin pathway offers.

This 8-week structured learning track is designed for developers, designers, and Bitcoin enthusiasts who want a comprehensive study of Bitcoin’s inner workings.

Using Mastering Bitcoin (3rd Edition) by Andreas Antonopoulos as our primary resource, participants work in peer-learning study groups to discuss Bitcoin concepts and engage in hands-on learning.

This Pathway Covers:
✅ How Bitcoin works; from cryptographic keys to network architecture.
✅ The mechanics behind wallets, transactions, and mining.
✅ Bitcoin scripting & programming concepts to deepen

Over the past few years Bitcoiners went from dismissing Lightning to cheering on custodial solutions. While many of those solutions have great properties and make sense for low-balance wallets, we shouldn’t lose sight of the goal - great non-custodial UX that Bitcoiners actually *want* to use.

Luckily we have the tech for it (now), we just need the motivation and resources to build great wallets using it!

Today is the day: Obscura VPN is NOW AVAILABLE!

Obscura is the first VPN that:
- CAN'T log your activity by design
- Outsmarts network filters

We believe Obscura sets the standard for a new generation of VPNs, and hope you’ll check it out!

🔗 https://obscura.net/

----

Contrary to popular belief, traditional VPNs (even “no-log” ones) can track you – they see both who you are and what you do, just like your ISP.

Your ISP is no better. Since 2017, they've been able to legally sell your sensitive data.

el


Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets in the first place.

It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.

Btrust will now be publicly publishing annual reports on all our activities and grants to the public.

Huge thank you to the Btrust team for an incredible 2024! ❤️

Here is our 2024 year-in-review 📌

https://blog.btrust.tech/btrust-2024-in-review/

TL;DR From training the first female African Bitcoin Core contributor to hosting our first Developer Day, 2024 was a landmark year in decentralizing Bitcoin open-source development in the Global South.

Here’s some of what we achieved:

• Graduated 17 developers from our Btrust Builders Cohort 3, focusing solely on open-source Bitcoin development
• Supported 11 developers through grants; 5 now working on long-term projects like Bitcoin Core, BTCPay Server and Lightning Dev Kit (LDK)
• Expanded BitDevs meetups to 5 African cities: Kaduna, Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi & Accra
• Held the Annual Btrust Gathering to plan for 2025
• Hosted the first Developer Day in Nairobi: 250+ attendees

The grind continues in 2025 🔥

His piece goes through:

• How the bug affects mining pools.
• Interesting stats on major mining pools like F2pool and @OCEAN
• What the fix means for fairness and efficiency.

Today, The Bitcoin Students Network (BSN) launch their Layer Zero program 🔥

The program aims to empower youths globally to collaboratively build and strengthen Bitcoin's "social layer." 🌍

As BSN Co-founder @Ella Hough put it, "Layer Zero is for those students who recognize the power of community, thinking for themselves, and taking control of their future, today." 🚀

For my last piece for Forbes Crypto of 2024, I covered the surge we experienced in Bitcoin mining in Africa in 2024, led by Ethiopia, where Africa now produces 3% of global hashrate (up from 1% just a year ago), and the outlook for Bitcoin mining in Africa in 2025 🌍🔥

🎙The Future of Africa’s CBDC & Bitcoin - links below.

My guest today on @You’re The Voice is @Abubakar Nur Khalil, a Nigerian Bitcoin Core contributor, CEO of the Bitcoin venture fund Recursive Capital, and one of only four board members of Btrust — a nonprofit supporting Bitcoin development in Africa. At just 25 years old, Abubakar is transforming the African Bitcoin ecosystem by training developers, advancing Bitcoin adoption, and supporting decentralized financial solutions.

Topics:
Nigeria’s CBDC rollout of the eNaira, why it failed, and accompanying cash shortages, as well as the growing Bitcoin adoption.
Scaling Bitcoin adoption in Africa, the revolutionary role of Bitcoin mining in electrifying rural communities, and the untapped potential of Bitcoin in empowering Africa’s youth & businesses.

Michael Saylor thinks #bitcoin is #capital not #currency and would like to see the world adopt the digital U.S. dollar as #money instead.

I vehemently disagree with his perspective.

My full Btrust Keynote from this year's Africa Bitcoin conference 2024 🔥

Where I go over Btrust's work, 2025 priorities, and present my message to African devs on why they should get into Bitcoin Open-Source development ❤️

“With Bitcoin we have that opportunity where for the first time in human history we have this little small crack in time where we can redefine what it means exactly to be a useful person in the world, what it means to change Africa as a whole.”

We made the first Bitcoin transaction in Maribor’s famous Jack and Joe!

During the Nicehash conference here in Slovenia, @Grafton @ Vexl, @Susie Violet, @Abubakar Nur Khalil and myself made the first transaction ever with Bitcoin at one of Maribor’s best restaurants.

The dinner was great, and their menu was like a Tolkien book.

10/10 would eat and pay with Bitcoin there again.

It's important to note that intelligence in one domain doesn't inherently translate to others.

The shock comes when you assume an expert on topic X is somehow impervious to bias, propaganda, cognitive dissonance, and bad takes on topic Y.

Know this and know peace.

Users don't care about Y, therefore we should reduce the focus on Y—or discard it entirely—shouldn't be a rule builders follow under the guise of pragmatism.

Users may not care now, but the point of it all is to protect them & do things better.

Here is my talk, "A Bitcoinized Africa," from last week's @Hodl Hodl Baltic Honeybadger '24 conference #BH2024

This year, I decided to give a more concise presentation, based on a lot of feedback and requests, on why Africa will continue to play a significant role in Bitcoin's overall development and future success.

Share this presentation with anyone curious about "what material benefits Bitcoin brings to humanity" or "what Africa's role is in the future of Bitcoin."

"Africa will not only continue to show what Bitcoin can do but, more importantly, it is going to show what we can do with Bitcoin" 🔥

Presently, no KYC P2P Bitcoin services might seem like a novelty option, but for some, it is a lifeline, and soon enough, for all, it could be the last resistance against total capture.

The pursuit of Bitcoin adoption shouldn't be at the cost of individual sovereignty and privacy. The system will end up like it is in fiat, just with a different narrative.

Build resilience today, it'll be too late tomorrow.
