A brand-new ecash section just went live in the Bitcoin Design Guide, courtesy of nostr:npub1zqsu3ys4fragn2a5e3lgv69r4rwwhts2fserll402uzr3qeddxfsffcqrs. It covers all the basics, and dives into Casu & Fedimint, as well as best practices for design. Take a look. https://bitcoin.design/guide/how-it-works/ecash/introduction/

This week, the first ever Bitcoin UX Bootcamp is happening in Africa. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

10 talented UX designers from Africa will learn & get hands on by doing UX research on wallets. We will then bring this data about these user experiences back to the ecosystem.

Builders of these wallets can then improve them and make data driven iterations to the designs to improve the user experience.

We’re also thrilled to announce that the next edition already has a confirmed location: Brazil! πŸ‡§πŸ‡· To all UX designers in South America eager to learn and connect with the Bitcoin industry, stay tuned, we’ll be sharing more details in the coming days!

πŸͺ΄ Today at 12:00 UTC we will watch live as the next generation of Bitcoin Designers onboard themselves into an exciting learning path leading up to the first ever Bitcoin UX Bootcamp 2024.

The Bitcoin Design Foundation published its Q3 report. Big news is the announcement of the newly formed board. Take a peek. https://opencollective.com/bitcoin-design-foundation/updates/q3-2024-review

More and more wallets now include multiple layers/networks/protocols, mostly looking to balance fees and security for different use cases. The bitcoin design guide has some ideas for how to build user interfaces around this approach. https://bitcoin.design/guide/multiple-wallets/

The latest newsletter just went out. There are quite a few calls, events, and conferences happening, along with various project updates. Take a peek. https://bitcoindesign.substack.com/p/bitcoin-design-newsletter-66

With BOLT12, silent payments and BIP353, contacts are becoming more common in wallets. Good thing there's a page in the Bitcoin Design Guide that lays out how to build a good user experience around contacts. https://bitcoin.design/guide/daily-spending-wallet/contacts/
