[Sarah White ⚡ @IamWhiteSarah]

This conversation with @ihate1999, @marcelorraine, @carelvwyk, @AfribitKibera and @princejoj0 reminds me of why we shouldn't discourage anyone's work. Bitcoin in Africa keeps gaining momentum because of every single African Bitcoiner's contribution to the ecosystem.

[Africa Free Routing ⚡ @FreeRoutingAf]

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 🚀

Yesterday, we officially wrapped up the Addis Ababa Lightning Developer Bootcamp with our Hackathon and Demo Day. 🇪🇹⚡

Participants presented the projects they had been working on throughout the week, showcasing not only what they learned but also their ability to apply Bitcoin and Lightning concepts to real world applications.

Over five days, participants explored Bitcoin fundamentals, ran Bitcoin nodes, created and signed transactions, contributed to open source, and built applications powered by the Lightning Network. Watching their growth from Day 1 to Demo Day was truly rewarding.

A special thank you to our lead instructor, @Extheo , for his dedication, patience, and commitment to delivering a highly practical learning experience throughout the bootcamp.

Thank you to @kelvinator05 , Engineering Lead at @btrustteam , for leading the open source sessions and helping participants make their first contributions to Bitcoin open source projects.

We are also incredibly grateful to @KalKassa and his team for the countless hours of work that went into making this bootcamp a reality. Their efforts behind the scenes played a huge role in the success of the program.

Most importantly, congratulations to all the participants. The enthusiasm, curiosity, teamwork, and determination you demonstrated throughout the week made this bootcamp a success. We look forward to seeing the projects you continue to build and the contributions you make to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Also, shoutout to @_Satoshee and @EMbits for all their work throughout the week. Their efforts behind the scenes helped make this bootcamp possible and ensured participants had a great learning experience.

A huge thank you to our sponsors and partners for supporting Bitcoin and Lightning education across Africa: @HRF, @BTrustBuilders, @Tether_Africa, @planb_network, @afribitcoiners, and @BitDevsAddis.

See you in Kigali. ⚡

[Megasley⚡ @megasley]

I have spent the last few years helping developers learn Bitcoin and Lightning through bootcamps across Africa with @FreeRoutingAf.

One thing kept standing out.

Many developers want to contribute to open source, but don’t know where to start.

The gap isn’t talent.

It’s finding the right project, understanding the codebase, making that first contribution, and staying consistent.

So I started building Pull.

Pull helps developers become open source builders through structured roadmaps, real projects, contribution tracking, project submissions, peer reviews, and a public builder profile.

It started as a @btcplusplus Nairobi hackathon project that we didn’t finish in time.

But the idea stuck.

Over the past few weekends, I’ve continued building it, and today I’m excited to finally share it.

Become an Open Source Builder.
