#spedn 📍 Ponta do Ouro, Mozambique 🇲🇿 Lightning paycode: [email protected] Map: btcmap.org/merchant/34245 Candida from @LwandiSurf having a toasted sandwich with chips paid with sats at Brasukas Bar. She scans the Lightning code, the payment clears, and she’s already halfway through the first bite before most places would have even handed over a card machine. No exchange rates. No “sorry, cash only.” Just good food, the Indian Ocean outside, and sats that actually work. #Bitcoin #Lightning #Mozambique #PontaDoOuro #BitcoinCircularEconomies #Africa #Freedom #Tourism

It's happening ⚡🌊
Have you ever looked at a Bitcoin Circular Economy project posting about adoption on X, and wondered: "Is this even real?" Well, so have we. Which is why, since early 2025, we've been working on something that helps to answer that question. powbot.africa Built by @BitcoinUbuntu, the @PoW_Checkbot is a Real-Time Automated Proof-of-Work Verification system for Bitcoin Circular Economy projects. It's built to remove some trust, by giving projects the opportunity to verify that the adoption they claim, is in fact real. Go check it out! powbot.africa

Thank you Btrust @btrustteam for sponsoring and supporting BitDevs Maputo @BitdevsMaputo BitDevs Maputo | Socratic Seminar #01 Who decides the rules of Bitcoin? Developers? Miners? Exchanges? Or everyone who runs a node? At the first Bitdevs Maputo Socratic Seminar, we’ll move beyond theory and get hands-on: running Bitcoin Core on our own laptops to discover, in practice, how Bitcoin’s consensus rules are verified. What Will We Explore? Bitcoin Core: Install, and explore a node that independently verifies Bitcoin’s consensus rules. Private and Public Keys: Understand how ownership of funds works and how keys are generated. Not your keys, not your coins. BIP32 and HD Wallets: Discover how a single seed can generate a hierarchy of keys and addresses. Why “Socratic”? There are no endless lectures or slides to sit through. The format is built around questions, investigation, and open discussion. We question, debate, and build understanding together. Who Is It For? Students, developers, curious minds, and anyone who wants to understand Bitcoin in depth - from beginners to advanced users. You don’t need to be an expert. All you need is a willingness to learn, experiment, and ask questions. Event Details 📅 Date: October 17, 2026 🕘 Time: 09:00 AM–12:00 PM 📍 Venue: Hotel Onomo, Maputo 📞 Contact: +258 84 527 0462 🎟️ Registration: luma.com/znp0x852 Follow BitDevs Maputo bitdevsmaputo.org X: @BitdevsMaputo xitter.cf/BitdevsMaputo Nostr: BitDevs Maputo npub1lfp3c0qe399sc4rs3f5k63k3lj5wzhlc2j24cyufhuhl0eva7cusc99u96 ⚡ Lightning: [email protected] Bring your laptop.

Obrigado a Btrust @btrustteam por patrocinar e apoiar BitDevs Maputo @BitdevsMaputo BitDevs Maputo | Seminário Socrático #01 Quem decide as regras do Bitcoin? Os programadores? Os mineradores? As exchanges? Ou cada pessoa que corre um nó? No primeiro Seminário Socrático da BitDevs Maputo, vamos sair da teoria e pôr as mãos na massa: correr o Bitcoin Core nos nossos próprios laptops e descobrir, na prática, como as regras do Bitcoin são verificadas. O que vamos explorar? Bitcoin Core: instalar, e explorar um nó que verifica as regras de consenso do Bitcoin. Chaves privadas e públicas: perceber como funciona a propriedade dos fundos e como as chaves são geradas. *Not your keys, not your coins* BIP32 e carteiras HD: descobrir como uma única seed pode gerar uma hierarquia de chaves e endereços. Porquê “Socrático”? Aqui não há palestras intermináveis nem slides para ler. O formato baseia-se em perguntas, investigação e discussão aberta. Questionamos, debatemos e construímos o entendimento juntos. Para quem é? Estudantes, programadores, curiosos e qualquer pessoa que queira compreender o Bitcoin a sério – do iniciante ao avançado. Não precisas de ser especialista. Só precisas de vontade de aprender, experimentar e questionar. 📅 Data: 17 de Outubro de 2026 🕘 Horário: 09h00–12h00 📍 Local: Hotel Onomo, Maputo 📞 Contacto: 84 527 0462 🎟️ Inscrição: luma.com/znp0x852 Segue a BitDevs Maputo bitdevsmaputo.org X: BitdevsMaputo xitter.cf/BitdevsMaputo Nostr: BitDevs Maputo npub1lfp3c0qe399sc4rs3f5k63k3lj5wzhlc2j24cyufhuhl0eva7cusc99u96 ⚡ Lightning: [email protected] Traz o teu laptop.

Thank you @afribitcoiners for the spotlight ❤️‍🔥 – at Swaziland
🌍 PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Bitcoin Famba 📍 Maputo, Mozambique 🇲🇿 About: Bitcoin Famba is a grassroots, nonprofit Bitcoin community in the Maputo–Matola area. “Famba” means “to walk” in Changana, and the group treats financial autonomy the same way: a step-by-step journey that starts with knowledge, language, and local use. Bitcoin education sessions are held in Portuguese so youth, merchants, educators, and activists can learn self-custody, Lightning payments, and everyday Bitcoin use without an English language barrier. Key objectives: 1. Host regular Portuguese meet-ups and workshops on Bitcoin basics, wallets, self-custody, and Lightning payments for youth, merchants, and activists. 2. Onboard local merchants, vendors, and service providers so people can earn, spend, and save in sats and keep value circulating locally. 3. Reach young people through partnerships such as Maputo Skate & Education, pairing skate culture with financial literacy and hands-on Bitcoin use. 4. Translate and distribute core resources (Trezor Academy, Bitcoin for Fairness, Blink, and related freedom-tech material) so learning happens in Portuguese. 5. Extend the model beyond Maputo, into rural areas and other Lusophone communities, while sharing tools on privacy, censorship resistance, and community custody.

🔐 Your Bitcoin. Your keys. Your responsibility. Self-custody can start with an easy-to-use hardware wallet. Learn how Bitcoin cold storage works, how private keys and seed phrases protect your funds, and how to create an offline backup using accessible tools. Before you stack more sats, learn how to protect the ones you already have. 🔗 bitcoiners.africa/save-bitco… #Bitcoin #SelfCustody

Last year in Mauritius, 14 projects across Africa that took the El Zonte Bitcoin Circular Economy model and made it their own met in one room for the very first time. We were there with cameras rolling. Over the next few weeks we’re releasing clips from the minidoc we made: their stories, their successes, their struggles, and how they’re picking up the pieces and building their own future, on their own terms. 🌍 This is what a circular economy looks like when it spreads. The movement is coming home! The Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit returns to El Zonte, and this time it’s open to everyone. 🅱️🌐⭕️ Global Bitcoin Circular Economy Summit 📅 Nov 19-20 📍El Zonte

🌍 PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Lwandi Bitcoin 📍 Location: Mozambique 🇲🇿 About: Lwandi Bitcoin is building a Bitcoin circular economy rooted in the long-running social project Lwandi Surf. The Bitcoin initiative extends this work into the local economy. Surf instructors already earn some of their income in Bitcoin. Local merchant are starting to accept Lightning payments. Tourists and locals can spend sats directly, so more economic value stays circulating inside the community instead of leaving through banks, card fees, or cash exchanges across the border. Key Objectives: 1. Youth education & opportunity — Use surfing and related programs to teach financial literacy, discipline, and life skills while introducing Bitcoin as a practical tool for saving and earning. 2. Merchant adoption — Onboard more local businesses (shops, bars, services, tourism operators) so residents and visitors can spend Bitcoin in everyday transactions. 3. Circular economy — Keep more of the money generated by tourism and local activity circulating inside Ponta do Ouro rather than leaking out through traditional finance. 4. Practical Bitcoin use — Demonstrate real Lightning Network payments for goods and services, from cold drinks and haircuts to sauces and crafts, so Bitcoin feels useful rather than abstract. 5. Community & sustainability — Strengthen local resilience, create pathways for young people, and connect financial sovereignty with the beach lifestyle and environmental connection that already define the area.
