entropy = good more entropy = more secure keys But can we imagine what 40 bits of entropy looks like, and how does that compare to 256 bits?

There are many organizations that offer grants. OpenSats, Brink, Spiral, the Human Rights Foundation (@hrf.org) , Btrust, Bitshala, Vinteum, B4OS, and Maelstrom are just a few examples. Some projects even have foundations dedicated to helping fund developers like the Bitcoin Dev Kit Foundation.

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 All of that being said, there is a sizable portion of bitcoin devs that get their funding from grants. This is a pretty unique model, even within the greater ecosystem of open-source software. It’s unusual for grants to play such a prominent role in bitcoin.

Then there are companies like Voltage and LX Dev which allow employees to dedicate a certain percentage of their work hours to open-source.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬? The code for #bitcoin is completely free and open-source (#FOSS). Anyone can view or build on it. There is no CEO of bitcoin, no benevolent dictator, no foundation. It's open-source taken to the extreme.

Happy #Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕 On this day in 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 bitcoins for 2 pizzas! It may seem wild to think about now but had it not been for people like him that were willing to use btc as a medium of exchange we may not be able to transact with bitcoin the way we can today.

That transaction could sit in the mempool for hours because the fee rate is too low for the high level of network activity. Even if you met the minimum, there can still be plenty of transactions with higher fee rates than yours, ones that miners will choose first.

Bitcoin Dev Project @bitcoindevs.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Transactions below this threshold are rejected by nodes. It helps prevent spam and DoS attacks on the network
