Three developer projects bitcoin Brazilians earned more than R$60,000 after presenting their innovations at the Satsconf event held in São Paulo last week.
According to Vinteum, organizer of the event, the second edition of Satsconf in 2024 attracted the attention of several developers.
“There were 130 hackers divided into 22 teams, competing for incredible prizes and guidance from our partners: Lightspark, Fulgur Ventures, Fedi, Let There Be Lightning and Btrust“, Vinteum said on Wednesday via LinkedIn (20).
The winners then won prizes in BTC (R$30,000 for 1st place, R$20,000 for 2nd and R$10,000 for 3rd, among other prizes totaling more than R$15,000). The top 3 also won a paid trip to Florianópolis for the Bitcoin Plus Plus event, scheduled for February 2025. The winning team also won a trip to Atlanta, where they will participate in TABConf!
Brazilians on track to help decentralized digital currencies
Become one developer in the Bitcoin ecosystem is one of the most impactful ways to contribute to its evolution and global adoption. Bitcoin is open source software, meaning anyone with programming skills and an interest in the technology can help improve the network, fix problems and propose improvements.
THE first step To enter this universe, you need to understand the basics of Bitcoin, including how it works, the role of blockchain, and the concepts of decentralization and security. Understanding the protocol is essential to contributing in a meaningful way.
Furthermore, it is important to learn to program in languages used in the ecosystem, such as C++, which is the basis of Bitcoin Core, or Python and Rust, which are also widely used in related projects.
There are many free resources, such as official Bitcoin documentation and online courses, available for beginners. Participating in forums and communities, such as the Bitcoin Dev Mailing List, is also a great way to connect with other developers and understand the ecosystem’s current challenges and priorities.
Another way to help is to contribute to testing and code reviews. Even without creating new features, reviewing and testing the work of other developers is essential to ensure the security and stability of the software. Many Bitcoin-related projects, such as wallets and analysis tools, are also open source and offer multiple opportunities to contribute beyond the main protocol.
