What does it take to build a truly global Bitcoin protocol?
@lucasdcf, co-founder of @Vinteum_org, has spent years making space for Brazilian developers in the Bitcoin open-source ecosystem.
Through grants, education programs, and @casavinteum, Vinteum has helped 15+ developers land full-time roles at projects like @bitcoindevkit, @StratumV2, and @Blockstream.

Upcoming @BtcpayServer 2.4 will ship with a much better translation system 🚀
Thanks to @teamssUTXO & @IAD_22S, those maintaining languages will also get credit for their work.
Making this the easiest way to FOSS contributions - just speak anything other than English!
Thanks @rusty_twit and @evankaloudis (@ZeusLN) for supporting the Bitcoin Snapshots project 🎩🗿🍷

I've been hosting/seeding files so you can sync your Bitcoin Core node faster 🧵👇
@bitcoinsbanker@TChileta@BtcpayServer All credit to @TChileta for the development & you for the product!
I hope we'll see many more people doing this: instead of opening discussions / issues on @BtcpayServer - they can create PRs and plugins

Open source software is amazing. And with the advent of AI agents, the technical threshold for contribution has dropped low enough for even someone like me! I am grateful to @TChileta and @r0ckstardev and the entire @BtcpayServer team for helping take my request from idea to live plugin and saving me from my own vibe coded mess.
Mining decentralization is a big priority for us too. We’re funding @plebhash’s work on Stratum V2, @johnnyasantos’ work on P2Pool V2, and training fellows like @jayrmotta on Mujina and @VCestarii on IPC work that interfaces with mining projects. Looking forward to collaborating with Localhost in yet another area.

Run a @BTCPayServer shop with Bitcoin arriving directly on your phone!
@BullBitcoin_ Wallet 6.10 now supports the SamRock Protocol. UX:
1. Install the SamRock plugin on your BTCPay
2. Install the BULL wallet on your mobile device
3. Scan a QR code
4. Done
Just saying @BtcpayServer will never do this, even if we were running out of money.
Promise are easy to give, but you know I am the type who keeps my words.
Last year, we put out a global call for new Btrust Board members as part of a planned governance transition.
Today, we’re excited to welcome @laurenceaderemi, @nduku_jay, and @brrrunog as the new Btrust Board of Directors.
After a thoughtful and rigorous selection process, they now assume full governance responsibilities as the inaugural board completes its mandate.
Each brings deep experience across Bitcoin infrastructure, open‑source development, and energy systems, and will help guide Btrust’s mission to decentralize Bitcoin development and expand opportunities for builders across the Global South.

Bruno is one of the reasons Vinteum exists.
Helping him become a full-time Bitcoin developer was part of our founding vision, which later grew into a broader mission: creating a strong pipeline of Brazilian Bitcoin developers.
Btrust had a similar vision for Africa, later expanded it to the Global South, and became a major supporter of Vinteum’s work.
Bruno comes from a generation of Bitcoin developers that had to find their own way before organizations like ours existed. There are still many challenges ahead if we want open-source Bitcoin development to become a stable long-term career path.
We’re proud to see Bruno now helping guide that work at an even larger scale, and proud to share him with Btrust as a board member.

Got tired of this narrative that funding open-source is philanthropy.
There's that angle but it's dumb and likely harmful.
More independent, economically rational sources of support, and more participants acting in their own self interest fixes it.
