Thank you to everyone who came to @tabconf 7 and made it wonderful this year!

4 days of: cordial debates, technical workshops, talks and panels, interactivities, meshtastic devices, hardware hacking, the CTB puzzle. So much fun.

7 Things I would like to share from TABConf 7.

2. So many new faces inspired to build on Bitcoin. Special love to the Brazilian crew who also hit the Rust Bitcoin Summit at @bitcoinpark_. Shout to @lucasdcf on the great work with @Vinteum_org and @satsconf_ (Nov 7).

3. Thanks for personalized education and attention from so many talented folks especially some core contributors like @murchandamus and @achow101. And those encouraging technical education with a carrot 🥕 via CTB donors, you rock!: @jintekc @fedibtc @bitcoin_bugle @AnchorWatch @TaprootWizards.

@lclhostresearch crushed the Socratic BitDevs village as always. Hardcore trivia was amazing and super efficient.

6. Debate panels drew big crowds again. Year 2 of the format and going strong. Thanks @Truthcoin and @cryptoquick for setting context and involving the audience.

7. The warnet hosted by Zipkin was awesome. Big shout to @ChaincodeLabs for supporting it the last 2 years. Hacking LN ⚡️⚠️ nodes was a blast. Our evening WoT with @ChristopherA 🔐workshop sparked ideas for recurring web of trust events at TAB.

Excited to have you!

[Btrust @btrustteam]

We’re excited to be attending and speaking at this year's edition of @tabconf.🎉

TABConf is a conference focused on Bitcoin, bringing together developers, researchers, and open-source contributors to share ideas, explore new technologies, and collaborate on building Bitcoin’s future.

Open-source development is at the heart of Bitcoin, and we’re looking forward to contributing to conversations on the tools, people, and communities shaping its ecosystem.

Catch our Head of Engineering, @kelvinator05, and Btrust developer grantee, @ItoroUk, on the main stage today.

🕦 11:30 am - Beyond the FFI Frontier: What It Actually Takes to Expose Rust Bitcoin Across Multiple Languages

Itoro will unpack the engineering challenges of making Rust-based Bitcoin wallet logic accessible across languages like Swift, Kotlin, Python, and Dart, including how developers can use UniFFI to build and distribute cross-platform SDKs

🕛 11:45 am - A New Centre of Gravity: Bitcoin Open Source Development in the Global South

Kelvin will explore how Bitcoin open-source development is becoming more geographically decentralized, with contributors in the Global Majority building communities, organizing conferences, mentoring developers, and becoming maintainers of open-source projects.

We’re looking forward to meeting fellow developers, open-source contributors, and members of the Bitcoin community, exchanging ideas, and exploring opportunities to build together.

See you there!

[Nate | BIP 54 + 448 @beeforbacon1]

Some say it's a logical fallacy but in this case it's true. If you aren't going to @tabconf you are not a Scotsman.

[Michael Tidwell @miketwenty1]

Late fomo entry this year for @tabconf

Really happy to have @robin_linus coming to TAB!
I'd make a zkp joke, but you'd probably miss it.

[TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026, Atlanta @tabconf]

@_podconf @miketwenty1 @coinjoined @stutxo code is live.

[Michael Tidwell @miketwenty1]

Love him or hate him, he doesn't care. He's forking and airdropping soon because he cares more about Bitcoin than you do. We have @Truthcoin preparing you for the power of drivechains. Disagree? Debate him at @tabconf.

The coin is "ecash" he doesnt care about fedimints either 😂

[Bryan Jacoutot @BryanJacoutot]

Honored to be speaking at the final TABConf at Georgia Tech next week.

Hope to see some of you there.

[TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026, Atlanta @tabconf]

@_podconf @miketwenty1 @coinjoined @stutxo Go fuck yourself, he's hilarious.

If you disagree buy a ticket and come to @tabconf to debate... Socratically ofc. Now for a reasonable price $256. This offer only available until Oct 15th!!!

Conference runs Oct 12-15, see you in Atlanta!
