About Event
Join us for the June edition of BitDevs Kano, where we’ll dive into the why and how of running a Bitcoin full node, especially in the Nigerian context.
We’ll explore:
Why running a Bitcoin node matters (privacy, sovereignty, trust minimization)
Hardware and internet requirements in Nigeria
Different types of nodes (full, pruned, Lightning, etc.)
Step-by-step setup guides and tools (RaspiBlitz, Umbrel, Bitcoin Core)
Local constraints: electricity, internet, cost—and practical workarounds
This will be a Socratic-style discussion — no keynotes, just an open, technical dialogue led by and for developers. Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or already experimenting with nodes, you’ll leave with practical insights and community support.
