A humble and tallented individual, proud of you!!
Oyindamola is a software engineer based in Kaduna, Nigeria.
He was part of the inaugural @btrust_builders Rust for Bitcoiners 🦀 pathway, where he deepened his understanding of Rust and Bitcoin development, and graduated as the top student.
He has since become an active contributor to privacy-focused Bitcoin tools, especially Rust-Payjoin and related Payjoin projects.
@bitcoinzaddy's contributions have included privacy-safe logging, code audits, spendable coin checks, documentation improvements, and work on simulations for multiparty Payjoin.
With the starter grant, Oyindamola will focus on advancing multiparty Payjoin research and implementation.
Beyond code, Oyindamola co-hosts @BitDevsKaduna 🇳🇬 and has supported local bitcoin education efforts, including mentoring and judging at the @hack4_freedom hackathon in Kaduna.
Its worth reading
" If we truly believe Bitcoin can contribute to Africa’s future, then we owe this ecosystem the same standards we would demand anywhere else: real transparency, real accountability, real measurement, real communities, real adoption, real impact. Africa deserves better than serving as a backdrop for fundraising campaigns, and Bitcoin deserves better than becoming another industry where a compelling story generates more value than genuine transformation. If this ecosystem is to mature, it must rediscover its original purpose. The objective was never to build organizations that survive on Bitcoin. The objective was, and remains, to build an Africa that can thrive because of it."

A good insight from @ethan_vera
Our COO @ethan_vera joined Bloomberg to unpack why Bitcoin miners are uniquely positioned for the AI data center buildout.

One unexpected highlight was an impromptu visit to the @GridlessCompute offices.
As fellow tenants at @NodeNBO, the team welcomed us into their space, where @whiteafrican walked the grantees through some of the work they're doing to help decentralize bitcoin mining through their mining operations across Africa.
It sparked great conversations around energy, infrastructure, and the role African builders can play in strengthening the bitcoin ecosystem.

⛏️ Is Bitcoin mining really a waste of energy? Or is it one of Africa's biggest untapped opportunities?
🎙️Join us tomorrow on X Spaces as we explore the realities of Bitcoin mining in Africa, from energy utilization and economic opportunities to some of the most common misconceptions surrounding the industry.
We'll be joined by @TrojanMining to discuss how Bitcoin mining interacts with energy infrastructure, opportunities for Africa and more.

Allot of mini grids comming up in Nigeria, this might be useful
Our team is demo’ing the open source 12v Jua Kali miner project at the @btcplusplus “open source edition” in Nairobi today.
A great end of life use
Another batch of $30 S19 Jpro’s secured to run the asic retirement home strategy
First hookup was from @MegaMinerAlex and @nickfost_
Second from our boys down the road doing a refresh
Nothing like being able to payback in 2 months (worst case), and then scrap for $20

The amount of money leaving Africa due to the World Bank and IMF is staggering.
Post-colonial drain from the Global South to the Global North (in billions)

Rates in Ethiopia were at ~3.2 US cents/kWh, new rates increase electricity costs for miners by 25–65% on average in the first year.

Always great to get together with other African miners and industry partners.

Insightful report by @afribitcoiners ->
While global Bitcoin mining is measured in hash rates, in Africa, it’s about cheap energy, electrification, and inclusion.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia mines 1 BTC for $1,986 vs $107k in the U.S.
🇲🇼 Malawi’s mini-grids have lit 1,800 homes.
🌍 Yet 600M Africans still lack electricity — even though it’s the cheapest place on earth to mine Bitcoin.
This is the Bitcoin Energy Paradox.
We are proud to announce the release of our landmark report, "Bitcoin Mining in Africa: Powering a New Era (2025–2030)". This is your essential guide to understanding how Africa is charting a more responsible, sustainable, and profoundly renewable path for Bitcoin mining.
A special and heartfelt thank you to @DSBatten for his invaluable contributions to this report and his tireless work across the Bitcoin mining sector.
A special thankyou too to @nduku_jay and @nemozen for their invaluable contributions to this report and the overall African Bitcoin Mining sector.
