We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Rust for Bitcoin 2.0: From Learning to Contribution ⚡
Several weeks of technical sessions, two weeks of capstone development and open-source contributions wave. One Demo Day. And 22 merged pull requests.

Delivered in partnership with @btrustteam, Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 equipped developers with practical experience in Bitcoin development, from transaction construction and HD wallets to Bitcoin Core, Rust libraries, and Lightning Network workflows.

The Results

Participants have recorded 22 merged PRs, with several more open, across Bitcoin related projects including BDK, rust-payjoin, Floresta, rust-miniscript, rust-bitcoin, Bitcoin Core, and Lightning related repositories.

Capstone and Demo Day

The two week capstone challenged participants to apply their skills, move from concepts to implementation, and develop projects using what they had learned.

Demo Day brought this work into focus, giving participants the opportunity to showcase their projects and demonstrate their progress.

Many thanks to @btrustteam for their continued support in growing a strong pipeline of Bitcoin developers and open-source contributors, advancing the mission to decentralize Bitcoin development across Africa and the global ecosystem.

Congratulations to all participants, and special thanks to our tutors and mentors, @200OKDeveloper, @0xGideonBature, @Akshola00, @damola21mm, and @Johnsdanlami, for making this journey possible.

The learning continues through building. The contributions continue through open source.

[Btrust @btrustteam]

At @btcplusplus, our Head of Engineering, @kelvinator05, discussed responsible AI use in Bitcoin open-source development; where it can help contributors, where it falls short, and why understanding and verifying the code you submit remains your responsibility.

Bitcoin mining is often associated with specialized hardware, electricity consumption, and hashrate. Less visible is the software that keeps it running.

Behind the machines are protocols connecting miners to pools, applications distributing work, and tools for testing and monitoring these systems.

Our latest article explores where developers can contribute, from networking and backend applications to firmware and fleet management, with projects such as Stratum V2, Braidpool, Mujina, and Proto Fleet as starting points.

Interested in building beyond the hardware? Discover the software behind mining and where to begin.
