In one week, some of the brightest technical minds in the Bitcoin industry will meet on a bunch of volcanoes in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
This is going to be so epic 😱
Hello everyone, we are canceling BTCAzores for 2024, we didn't manage to get enough people signed up to make it as good as the previous years.
We will obviously refund the tickets to all attendees.
We hope we can host the event again next year.
BTCAzores 2023 dates CONFIRMED:
- 23rd and 24th of September
- this time in Terceira Island, home of
@Wizardsardine
(still in the Azores, just a different island)
We will update the website sometimes soon.
If the boating accident in the ocean is too much for you, let us introduce the CANOEING ACCIDENT.
And you can then relax in the hot springs with other bitcoiners :)
You probably won't see any Bitcoin whale at the event, but at least you can see actual whales. And we can even coordinate a group boating accident should there be enough demand.
Today we are announcing
@Coinkite
as a sponsor of the event! REALLY happy they are helping out, and looking forward to see the discussions between all the hardware wallets manufacturers :)
You probably know them for
@COLDCARDwallet
,
@OPENDIME
and more.
Things to do at
@btcazores
around the event:
- Poker
- Hiking
- Snorkeling
- Whale and dolphin watching
- Climbing, cave exploration
- Boat accidenting
- Hot springs
- Hot natural pools
and too much more. This will be intense.
PLEASE WELCOME BRAIINS as a sponsor of the event! We are super happy to have them onboard, we truly appreciate the support. Thanks <3

As our previous attempt reached a Godwin point in a few minutes, here is our latest logo. Please don't say "Oh, looks like Nic's 'stache", as we have enough of mustache references by now.
The t-shirts arrived already 😱😱😱
Being on an island in the middle of nowhere, shipping stuff often takes 3 weeks so we have to do logistics quite early :)
@GhostofWhitman
agree —still not sure why
@btcazores
is charging anything when it’s positioning itself as an “unconference”, anyone can talk about anything & there’s no like programme so what exactly is the ticket for?!😅 that & lugano one were the 2 most ridiculous conf propositions I’ve seen
Announcing our largest sponsor for this event:
@Okcoin
. Thank you so much for helping the Bitcoin developer ecosystem! You can learn more about their grants here:
See you on Friday :)
BTCAzores is in 2 months :')
We could do with more coffee and materials, if any bitcoin company out there would like to support us, it'd be appreciated 🙏
We only have a handful of tickets left, in case you want to attend.
I guess this is our last tweet for a while, we might repeat the unconference experience next year.
Thanks everyone, thanks to all our wonderful sponsors, and thank you to
@michaelfolkson
who did an amazing transcript job (few threads on his account)

@btcazores
2nd day 2pm: Signet update w/
@0xB10C
,
@josibake
and others. Signet is a better testnet but there have been proposals to add manufactured re-orgs to Signet and soft fork proposals to Signet.
Your other half is asking for proper vacations but you can't stay away from Bitcoin too long? Why not scheduling a trip to
@visitingazores
around the middle of September, the Azores are romantic AF.
And PURE COINCIDENCE if there happens to be a large gathering of bitcoiners 😶
We aren't communicating outside of Twitter so if your fellow Bitcoin devs aren't here, maybe let them know tickets are running fast :D
See you in a few months 🐳
Today, we are welcoming
@Ledger
as a sponsor of the unconference! We are very glad to have them onboard.
Thanks a lot for the support, and looking forward to catching up with
@salvatoshi
on his latest work!
About Covid: there is no requirement of any kind to travel to Portugal or the Azores, from anywhere.
- no need for Covid vac
- no need for test
- no need of "passenger locator form"
Just hop on the plane and enjoy the trip.
BTCAzores'24 will happen (once again) in Terceira island.
14th and 15th of September.
100 participants maximum.
No speaker line up.
Tickets aren't yet on sales, but should be in a few days/weeks.
See you soon!
Today we'd like to announce
@Trezor
as a sponsor of the unconference 🍾
@slush
and
@pavolrusnak
have been around the technical Bitcoin events for as long as we can remember, and we are very proud to have their support for this first edition of
@btcazores
.
So why don't we have speakers you say? Well we kinda do but we don't know who yet (maybe you?).
Anyone can organize a workshop, give a 5 min talk to stir discussions, we'll have panels where the panelists rotate and any participant can hop in.
Join us.
The first sponsor to reach out this year is an individual. Last year he already supported the event, making it a reality. Thank you so much
@binaryprinciple
<3
As part of his sponsorship, he is gifting a ticket to a Bitcoin dev who wouldn't make it otherwise 🚀
30% of the tickets for BTCAzores are sold already, in 2 days.
Bullish.
(Yes we have random "bullfights" in the streets in Terceira. No bulls are hurt, just running after people because why not.)
BTCAzores is in 2 weeks!
Our largest sponsor this year is
@okx
, very happy to see exchanges giving back to the technical Bitcoin community.
Thank you!
alright people, we need an actual logo. Not that the Azores flag with laser eyes is terrible, but still😬
Blame
@KLoaec
for his way too avant-garde artistic "talent".
Whoever submit the best logo will get a supporter ticket 💰
The good thing about
@btcazores
is that the tickets are 100 euro, and it's on a fucking island in the middle of the Atlantic. The FOMO should be about the entire experience, not just the unconf.
BTCAzores starts tomorrow :O
Last sponsor we are announcing is
@FulgurVentures
. They are organizing Legends of lightning 2 in October with a 2.5 BTC prize, check it out!
Back again this year to support us is
@Ledger
, with
@salvatoshi
cooking us some epic stuff again I hear.
Last year, he announced his MATT proposal at BTCAzores.
Bitcoiners unite! So happy with the support we are receiving now, less than one month before the event.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SPONSOR 🍾
Welcome to
@GetBittr
, thank you
@watermaniak
! Get these sats stacked,
Yo everyone, just a reminder that we have a Telegram group if you want to plan for shared accommodations and stuff :) Ping me and I'll get you in (if you are coming, no spam).
Also, get your flights/hotel soon-ish as the event is in 2 months!
😚
Just added a few faces to the website, and our FIRST SPONSOR who happens to be just a Twitter anon who cannot even make it to the unconf' but wanted to help 😍
Many many thanks to
@binaryprinciple
.

Sponsorship of our event starts at 1k euro (== 1k USD, thanks
@ecb
), unlike the 25k everyone else seems to be asking currently 📈
We'd LOVE some support from the legit companies out there
Who wants a free ticket to
@BTCazores
in Portugal?
We're excited to support this very technical, bitcoin only event by giving away three (3) tickets to miners in our Telegram.
Join the Telegram chat.
The intern will pick winners tomorrow.
So far we had quite a few people asking to do talks and workshops: you don't have to ask, that's the point of unconferences! Hardware, mining, volvelles... there is stuff for everyone 🥳
Join us and share your own knowledge
It seems more people will stay around AFTER the event. We'll plan some group activities if anyone wants to join.
1- THE BOATING ACCIDENT:
(whale/dolphin watching)
Please help us welcome
@FulgurVentures
to our awesome sponsor list <3
You probably have met
@olegmikh1
at some point in your Bitcoin journey, if you are a builder and have NOT YET talked to Oleg, you definitely should. Fulgur is awesome.
So in Sao Miguel, they grow pineapples. Well they will yell at you if you call it pineapples but hey, they are pineapples. (they differentiate Ananas and Pineapple as they taste very differently, the local variety is an Ananas). Anyways, join us.
3 weeks 😱 Hotels are getting full, if you haven't booked yet you really should start panicking and/or join the telegram group to find shared accommodations.

What I did yesterday vs what I did when I first started out with watercolors (~1 year ago?)
I'm aware that my recent painting is not a masterpiece, but seeing this huge progress makes me so proud 🥰

as part of this sponsorship 2 supporter tickets are available, preferably to people who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend due to the cost of the event.
Please reach out if this could help you!
@pavlenex
@BtcpayServer
No fucking clue TBH,
@darosior
will look into it. Sometimes can't add item to cart, sometimes yes but no invoice to pay. (try to add a ticket from our website, easier than to explain :) ). We'll let you know if it's a BTCpay bug or another problem on our end.
