I'm a simple bitcoiner. I see an effort to build consensus around covenants, I retweet. It's time we get this show on the road.

2 new conferences added to bitcoinconferences.info! BitcoinSeoul 2026 + opnext.dev

2025 Q1 Update: What Have We Been Up To? bdk_wallet 1.1, Book of BDK, Kyoto, and more! bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2025-q1-…

I finally completed the opcode encyclopedia at opcodeexplained.com! One page per opcode (all 256 of them). Check'em out. Use them as reference in docs, blog posts, or anything you like. Next up: adding content in the bitcoin Script section. 🚀

ReproducibilityMatters’s Bitcoinkernal Library has been on fire lately. A key accomplishment was the development of an initial version with an externally usable API library. A pull request for this API can be found at: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi…

We're up to 25 conferences this year on bitcoinconferences.info. Check out the remaining 16 happening in 2025, and thanks to all contributors!

Contributing to the maintenance of one of the most important codebases on GitHub is no easy task I'm sure, and Gloria does it well. Take time to read her thoughts. Top quote IMO: "Bitcoin’s long term success relies on us frying some much bigger fish than mempool policy defaults"

I'm just going to come out and say it, using the ₿ symbol for displaying wallet balances in satoshis and letting go of the sats naming and visuals is cleaner, simpler, and more directly understood by most everyone. Goodbye sats, it's been a slice.

I think wallets should show fees in sats per Weight Units. It's intuitive even for beginners. You can imagine transactions have weight, and that has a unit. Makes sense. "Virtual bytes" on the other hand? Your first thought is wtf is that and how is it different than a byte? 👎

Just ₿

Crazy that Bull Bitcoin wallet has over 10,000 downloads on Google play and it's still only the beta version for testing with zero marketing, doesn't even have a website yet 🤯

The best launcher on Android by a mile is Lawnchair I have no idea why someone would use any of the stock launchers anymore. You don't even need to get it from the Play Store you can get the APK directly from a ton of sources. lawnchair.app you won't go back

This is an absolute travesty and must be fought tooth and nail. What a nightmare. Imagine having to register yourself (driver's licence, full legal address) just to publish a website. Absolute shame. So bad for users, so bad for devs. Everyone looses.

Check it out! We've been hard at work cleaning up the app, adding translations, and preparing a *Swift* little surprise for you all (is this an announcement of an announcement???)
