### About Event

​Get ready to join one of the most exciting and electrifying gatherings of Bitcoin minds in Bangalore!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​This BITDEVS isn’t like our regular monthly BITDEVS covering a single topic in Bitcoin — it’s so much more. **_We will have 20+ Indian Bitcoin Developers that are actively contributing to Bitcoin_** — this BITDEVS is where passionate Bitcoiners, tech enthusiasts, and curious developers will meet for a day full of discussing breakthroughs, thought-provoking topics, and, of course, some good ol' Bitcoin banter.

​Here’s what we’ve lined up for you:
====================================

​10:30am – 11:00am: Welcome to _[Bitshala](https://bitshala.org/)_ _& BITDEVS_
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Sovrav](https://x.com/SetuSaurabh)**

​We'll kick things off with Sovrav (Bitshala's Operational Lead) setting the stage, introducing you to the Bitshala spirit — what we stand for, our vision and how the BITDEVS will unfold for the rest of the day.

​11:00am – 11:45am: Stealth Mode _[(Silent Payments)](https://silentpayments.xyz/)_
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Anmol Sharma](https://x.com/theanmolsharma_)**

​Ever wanted to send and receive Bitcoin like a ghost (i.e. with no interaction with the sender or making it pretty impossible for a 3rd party to link a transaction to your wallet?) Anmol will help you explore Silent Payments — how a single, static address can keep your transactions private while simplifying the process. Trust us, you'll want to know about this.

​11:45am – 12:00pm: _[Bolt12](https://bolt12.org/)_ _– The Next Leap in Lightning_
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Shashwat](https://x.com/_shaavan)**

​Now, you can forget the hassle of single-use invoices. Shashwat will break down Bolt12 and show why it’s a game-changer for seamless, flexible payments on the Lightning Network. This one’s for anyone who loves tech that simplifies life.

​12:00pm – 12:30pm: _[Covenants](https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/covenants/)_ _in Bitcoin – A Primer_
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Bala](https://x.com/bala_1116)**

​Think Bitcoin scripts are just “send and receive”? Think again. Bala will give you an intuitive understanding about covenants, various forms of covenants, and the complexities and challenges associated with them. And descriptions of some proposed opcodes such as OP\_CAT, OP\_CTV etc. Bala will also discuss the apprehensions of the bitcoin community towards covenants and the path towards addressing them.

​12:30pm – 1:00pm: _[Stratum V2](https://stratumprotocol.org/)_ _Demo_
------------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Plebhash](https://x.com/plebhash)**

​Curious about the next evolution in Bitcoin mining? This demo on Stratum V2 by Plebhash will give you a hands-on look at how this protocol aims to decentralize and secure mining like never before.

​1:00pm – 1:30pm: _[Nostr Wallet Connect](https://nwc.dev/)_
--------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker: Adithya**

​Adithya will introduce you to Nostr Wallet Connect, bridging wallet interactions with the decentralized world. Find out how it works and why it’s got developers buzzing.

​1:30pm – 3:00pm: Lunch Break
-------------------------------

​Fuel up, chat with other attendees, and get ready for an afternoon packed with even more compelling talks!

​3:00pm – 3:45pm: The Evolution of Digital Sovereignty
--------------------------------------------------------

​Speaker: [Basanta](https://x.com/Basanta_Goswami)

​Basanta’s talk is a journey through time, exploring how we got here, why current tech keeps us as slaves, and what the future holds for reclaiming our digital independence. This one's a wake-up call for anyone who values online freedom.

​3:45pm – 4:15pm: Panel on Mining Centralization
--------------------------------------------------

​**Panelists:** **[Plebhash](https://x.com/plebhash)** **[Raj](https://x.com/RajarshiMaitra)**, **[Nihal](https://x.com/nhlarmaan)**, **[Sovrav](https://x.com/SetuSaurabh)**

​Is mining centralization the monster under Bitcoin’s bed? Join this debate to see what these building minds think about where mining is heading — and if it’s all doom and gloom or just a phase.

​4:15pm – 4:45pm: Quantum Threat to Bitcoin
---------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Mstrr](https://x.com/zaidmstrr)**

​Quantum computers are like the villains in sci-fi movies, but they’re real — and they’re coming for Bitcoin. Mstrr will walk you through why current cryptographic methods could be at risk and the cutting-edge solutions that might save the day.

​4:45pm – 5:30pm: Goa and Beyond – Bitcoin’s Circular Economy
---------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Plebs Together Strong](https://x.com/plebstogether)**

​What’s happening in Goa isn’t staying in Goa. Learn how Bitcoin enthusiasts there are creating a sustainable, local economy and what that means for the bigger picture. Spoiler: it’s inspiring ( a bit too much actually.)

​5:30pm – 6:00pm: Keynote – The Long Road to Sovereign Individual
-------------------------------------------------------------------

​**Speaker:** **[Raj (Bitshala’s Lead)](https://x.com/RajarshiMaitra)**

​Raj will close the day by talking about the ongoing journey toward personal sovereignty in the digital age and what role Bitcoiners play in shaping that path.

* * *

​This agenda is built for thinkers, builders, and anyone who’s ready to level up their understanding of Bitcoin tech and beyond.

R.I.P. Catoshi! It's now time for Orange Vagabond

Who knows, maybe they do. Cats have 7 or 9 lives!

Catoshi passed away a few weeks ago... Apparently got poisoned by someone! She can continue watching SN from up there. I'll keep the nym here on her honor!

She has been an amazing mascot, and true ratcoiners' fighter

What is the biggest threat to your Bitcoin?

Always the same story, they ban it for the pleb and use it themselves. Bitcoin don't care about government either, you are if you are worried!

Bitcoin will be here with or without you 🤣 in this case, you are then the threat for Bitcoiin!

you right, nothing is ideally a threat for bitcoin itself, it will continue to go forward, block by block.

that's politely included in ACCIDENTAL LOSS :)

We'll also provide updates on the Bitcoin Learning Center's progress, discuss what we're working on, and set goals for the next 12 months. We'll have food and drinks so we need a general idea on who is coming, so please RSVP by simply messaging us from any of your favorite platforms !

For those new to Bitcoin, don't worry! We'll be launching both Native Thai and English-speaking Introduction to Bitcoin meetups later this month. Stay tuned for more information on these regular events.
