Bitcoin has places to be. Literally.
Tapnob eSIMs are now available for Bitcoiners. Pay with sats and stay connected across 100+ countries.
But connectivity is just one part of the bigger picture.
Tapnob brings digital money closer to everyday life, connecting Bitcoin, stablecoins, and local currencies to the things people actually need.
More options. More utilities. More possibilities.
One platform. More ways to put your money to use.
We are beginning to roll out eSIMs on Tapnob.
Get connected in 100+ countries without searching for a local SIM when you arrive.
Travelling, working remotely, studying abroad, or just moving between countries- your connection can travel with you.
Bitcoin and stablecoins will be supported with more payment methods coming soon.
Tapnob is becoming more useful for how you actually live, travel, and spend globally.
Coming in the next few days. 🌍

Today in Chandigarh, just one person showed up for our Bitcoin meetup. We sat down, had a conversation, and started with a simple question: What is money?
We went deep into how to build a solid foundation, exchanged some read's like The Internet of Money and Broken Money to understand further.
Every conversation counts when it comes to orange-pilling the world! 📚🚀

Behind every reliable open-source tool is an engineer who has learned to balance technical complexity with the needs of the people using it.
In our latest grantee spotlight, Solomon Eze (@IgboPharaoh) shares his journey from designing user interfaces to building Bitcoin open-source Bitcoin infrastructure.
He reflects on how his experiences at @btrust_builders, Chaincode Labs, Mavapay, and now Coco shaped his approach to building reliable, user-focused financial tools.

Just routed my first successful Lightning Network payment using dual LND nodes running locally on Bitcoin Regtest!
Getting the ZMQ configurations and custom TLS handshakes playing nice inside WSL was a fun puzzle, but the transaction went thrux instantly.
App Dev mode: ON

Sharon (@nkatha_kk) is a developer based in Nairobi 🇰🇪, and an alumna of @DadaDevs and @btrust_builders.
She completed the 2026 BOSS Challenge, where she made her first major Bitcoin open-source contribution.
Her grant-funded work focuses on @braidpool's mining infrastructure: strengthening Stratum V1 reliability, addressing gaps in protocol implementation, and improving scalability.
This work helps connect existing mining ⛏️ equipment with decentralized pool software.
Nkatha also helps lead discussions at @BitDevsNBO meetups, supporting learning and knowledge-sharing within the local developer community.

We’re excited to announce the Q3 2026 Btrust developer grant recipients. 🚀
Ten Bitcoin open-source developers are receiving support: five starter grant recipients and five long-term open-source cohort members.

Their work, alongside that of recipients in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪, spans @bitcoincoreorg, mining ⛏️ infrastructure, Lightning⚡, wallet libraries, and privacy-preserving payments.
Meet the recipients and learn about their work:

DAY 1 OF HACK4FREEDOM NBO 🇰🇪
And oh, Dada Devs! 😮💨🔥
The turnout. The energy. The talent. UNMATCHED.
Day 1 made one thing very clear: skills and talent aren’t the missing gap. The room is.
We kicked things off with @briimhd Founder of @hack4_freedom , who took the ladies through why this work matters and why creating more opportunities for builders is critical.
Our Founder, @marcelorraine , challenged the room to think beyond simply being consumers of technology.
Her message? Build from Africa.
Africa doesn’t just need more people using technology. We need more people building it.
She encouraged the participants to explore what they can create using open-source protocols like Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr and eCash and to see themselves not just as participants in the ecosystem, but as builders shaping what comes next.
A session that had the room reflecting on why they showed up and what they’re capable of building..

In Winteko village, Burundi, when the internet goes down, people keep paying each other in Bitcoin. Offline, using @CashuBTC ecash. A young learner once bought candy for four sats with no connection.
That's @btcshule, a circular economy where 14 shops and a hotel accept Bitcoin over Lightning, merchants are mapped on @btcmap, and spending happens on camera week after week. Led by @belyi_nobel, operating in Kirundi, French, and English.
On 11 September they announced the Nakamoto Hope Center, a brick-and-mortar learning hub for tech training, digital skills, and Bitcoin education. The building is nearly complete. The push now is equipping it: solar, tablets, satellite internet, a full node, hardware wallets for self-custody training.
This is what building with Bitcoin looks like. Full story in the comments 👇
