We also took care of the ticket sales. We used Satoshi Tickets by @TChileta, a great @BtcpayServer plugin. It worked flawlessly, and a few improvements were implemented along the way. We’ll definitely use it again in future events ⚡ #LightningNetwork #BTCPayServer #Noderunners

It’s day 2 at @dakarbtcdays 🇸🇳 @Thevelopher shared valuable insights on how developers can start their journey in Bitcoin open-source, with actionable tips and a discussion on what it takes to get started.
It was nice speaking at @dakarbtcdays 🇸🇳 about Bitcoin open source contribution . It's high time we saw more devs from francophone African countries actively contributing to Bitcoin open source. Thanks to efforts from @btrustteam and all involved.
