But do you know how those words are generated? How are private keys created? And how can a single phrase generate thousands of Bitcoin addresses?<br/><br/>At Socratic Seminar #02, we&#39;ll go beyond the surface and explore the technical foundations that make Bitcoin wallets possible.<br/><br/>WHAT WILL WE EXPLORE?<br/><br/>BIP-32 — Hierarchical Deterministic Key Derivation.<br/><br/>BIP-39 — Mnemonic Phrases and Wallet Recovery.<br/><br/>BIP-44 — Organizing Accounts and Addresses.<br/><br/>Security &amp; Self-Custody — What does it truly mean to control your own funds?<br/><br/>Don&#39;t Trust, Verify — Learn to verify things for yourself instead of blindly trusting others.<br/><br/>📅 Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026 <br/>🕣 Time: 08:30 AM – 12:00 PM (GMT+2) <br/>📍 Location: ONOMO Hotel Maputo, Maputo<br/><br/>🎟️ Register here: <a href="https://luma.com/15vwx6e2">https://luma.com/15vwx6e2</a><br/><br/>👨‍💻 WHO SHOULD ATTEND?<br/><br/>Students, developers, Bitcoin enthusiasts, technology professionals, and anyone curious about understanding how Bitcoin works under the hood.<br/><br/>You don&#39;t need to be an expert.

I’d ask the child to build a block with 3 fictional Bitcoin transactions, then check if they follow the rules. We could add one invalid transaction to make it fun! The lesson: proposing a block doesn’t mean it’s valid. ₿ 2026-10-16T20:17:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvm4y8x06ajqmkgj2dkvg3ypw3azmjc7d23zjjual055c6vckxtpgzyrayx8purxy5krz5wz9xjm2x68723c2llp2f2hqn3xljlal9nhmrj43hjg5 BitDevs Maputo | Socratic Seminar #01<br/><br/>Who Really Controls Bitcoin?<br/>Who decides the rules of Bitcoin? Developers? Miners? Exchanges? Or everyone who runs a node?<br/><br/>At the first BitDevs Maputo Socratic Seminar, we’ll move beyond theory and get hands-on: running Bitcoin Core on our own laptops to discover, in practice, how Bitcoin’s consensus rules are verified and who has the power to influence the network.<br/><br/>What Will We Explore?<br/>Bitcoin Core: Install, synchronize, and explore a full node that independently verifies Bitcoin’s consensus rules.<br/><br/>Private and Public Keys: Understand how ownership of funds works and how keys are generated. Not your keys, not your coins — but where do those keys come from?<br/><br/>Addresses and Transactions: Follow the process of creating, broadcasting, and validating a Bitcoin transaction.<br/><br/>BIP32 and HD Wallets: Discover how a single seed can generate a hierarchy of keys and addresses.<br/><br/>Why “Socratic”?<br/><br/>There are no endless lectures or slides to sit through. The format is built around questions, investigation, and open discussion. We question, debate, and build understanding together.<br/><br/>Running a node allows you to verify the rules. Generating and securing your own keys gives you control over your funds. But ultimately, who decides the future of Bitcoin?<br/><br/>That’s the question we’ll explore.<br/><br/>Who Is It For?<br/>Students, developers, curious minds, and anyone who wants to understand Bitcoin in depth — from beginners to advanced users.<br/>You don’t need to be an expert. All you need is a willingness to learn, experiment, and ask questions.<br/><br/>Event Details<br/>📅 Date: October 17, 2026<br/>🕘 Time: 09:00 AM–12:00 PM<br/>📍 Venue: Hotel Onomo, Maputo<br/>📞 Contact: +258 84 527 0462<br/>🎟️ Registration: <br/><a href="https://luma.com/znp0x852">https://luma.com/znp0x852</a><br/><br/>Follow BitDevs Maputo<br/>X: @BitdevsMaputo<br/>Nostr: BitDevs Maputo<br/><br/>⚡ Lightning: bitdevsmaputo@blink.sv<br/><br/>Bring your laptop.
