The first Tando x @CashApp moment we've seen from a diaspora Tandonite, shoutout to @nairobiblack_

@nairobiblack_ came back to Kenya after 26 years. In the past, she’d have to convert her bitcoin to dollars, then ask her uncle to take her to a forex bureau to swap those for shillings. This time was different: she found Tando. With just her Cash App Lightning wallet and the Tando app, she paid for everything, groceries, rides, you name it, with bitcoin.

Coming to Kenya? Be like @nairobiblack_. Skip the hassle. Load your Lightning wallet, download Tando, and easily spend your bitcoin anywhere in the country🇰🇪

@kongkabuu9 They are already well aware. It's a win win for everyone involved.

[Murugi @Murugi___]

Enjoyed @waithiraah and @statusquont's session exploring how lightning⚡ acts as bitcoin's translation layer, with real-world lessons from building @tando_me.

Btw, over 40 million Kenyans can now have lightning addresses tied to their phone numbers.🔥

@CoinMarketCap How will they know 100% of hashrate is being pointed at their pool?

[Btrust @btrustteam]

Cross-platform bitcoin wallets are becoming easier to build with Flutter and bdk-dart.

In this talk, @john_osezele showed how developers can build Bitcoin apps for iOS and Android using the @bitcoindevkit's Dart bindings, using a reference wallet to demonstrate core functionality.

A highlight shared is that bdk-dart is currently integrated with the @BULLBITCOIN_ mobile wallet.

[Tando @tando_me]

@malkrite @rakgatjane We came prepared.

[Bitcoin Nairobi Conference @btcnairobi_conf]

From open-source contributor to a cornerstone of Kenya's developer community, Collin Rukundo is a true builder!

As the co-founder of Kesh Labs and BitDevs Nairobi, he’s been at the heart of the ecosystem since day one.

Collin was a first-ever grantee of Btrust and Superlunar, and he co-built Splice Africa (acquired by Tando!).

Now, he’s leveraging his deep technical and regulatory expertise to build the next generation of payments infrastructure in Kenya.

If you want to learn from a pioneer who’s actually building the rails, you NEED to be here. 👇

[Team Soapbox @SoapboxTech]

Just sent a Lightning tip to an above-and-beyond Uber driver in Kenya with @tando_me ! Amazing, she didn't have to think about Lightning or Bitcoin at all and received it in M-Pesa. We need more solutions like this that work seamlessly with existing systems. @btcplusplus

@davinde78859331 ...or just stack sats consistently. DCA. Don't risk trading against the high-speed AI bots. Instead, go outside and touch grass.

@matthewvuk2 @btcplusplus You weren't kidding when you said it was a ~2 hour project.

[Tando @tando_me]

Met @matthewvuk2 yesterday afternoon over a plate of potatoes. And by the evening had a working version of Ark @secondhq powering Tando payments.

What do they put in those potatoes?!? 🤯
