Join us today, 6 August 2026, at 7:00 PM IST / 1:30 PM UTC for the first session of The Cryptographic Foundations of Bitcoin club.
We’ll introduce the full roadmap, from one-way functions, hashes, and Proof-of-Work to Merkle trees, elliptic curves, ECDSA, Schnorr, MuSig2, and FROST, and discuss what “hard” really means in cryptography.
We’ll also meet one another before we begin.
🕒 Note on timing: Today’s session starts at 7:00 PM IST / 1:30 PM UTC. This is a one-off shift. From next week onward, we’ll return to the usual 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC, every Thursday.
Join us today (05-Aug-2026) at 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC for TradFi & Bitcoin Club
In today's session we will cover SeedSigner which is a DIY, offline, air-gapped, stateless Bitcoin transaction-signing device built from readily available, off-the-shelf components.
It does not permanently store private keys on the device; instead, the wallet seed is entered or recovered when needed and kept separately. QR codes are used to transfer transaction data between SeedSigner and a watch-only wallet while keeping the signing device disconnected from the internet.
i) Key Components required for building your own Seedsigner
ii) Flashing SeedSigner software on SD Card
iii) Understand SeedSigner’s DIY, offline, air-gapped, and stateless security model.
iv) Features of SeedSigner
v) Q&A Session

We’re covering today, The Coldcard Exploit & Hardware RNG Audit:
i) The Root Cause: How a linker bug redirected seed generation to weak software.
ii) Architecture Comparisons: How Trezor, Ledger, Tangem, and Coldcard differ.
iii) Minimizing Hardware Trust: Verify open-source code and perform key checks.
iv) Hardware Wallets vs. Dedicated Phones: Are wiped old phones viable for self-custody?

We’re bringing Bitshala to Chandigarh! 🚀
Bitcoin 101: How to Build Money Without a Middleman
🗓️Sunday, 23rd August
🕧11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Most financial systems run on institutional authority; Bitcoin runs on deterministic math, real-world physics, and game-theoretic incentives.
This session strips away the market noise to inspect the core architecture from scratch, showing how basic cryptography, energy expenditure, and economic incentives build open, permissionless money.

Bitcoin Wallets: You Don't Store Bitcoin, You Manage Keys | Pune
📅 Saturday, 08th August
⏰ 4:45 PM - 7:00 PM
Your wallet holds zero Bitcoin; it holds the exact mathematical secrets required to convince a global network that you have the right to move it.
In this Bitshala meetup, we abandon consumer abstractions to focus on protocol reality: wallets are deterministic cryptographic key managers that construct and sign state transitions for an open ledger.

Bitcoin Transactions, Blocks and Mining | Andheri, Mumbai
📅 Saturday, 08th August
🕛 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Bitcoin has no accounts, no balances, and no central server, yet it reliably tracks value across thousands of independent nodes.
In this session, we trace the full lifecycle of a transaction, from elliptic curves and address derivation to mempool dynamics, Merkle trees, and Nakamoto consensus, culminating in constructing and broadcasting a raw transaction directly onto the Bitcoin testnet.

Our first Bitcoin meetup in Kolkata is here! 🎉
Bitcoin 101: How Digital Money Works Without Banks
📅 Saturday, 22 August
🕦 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
Every economy depends on a ledger to keep track of who owns what. Bitcoin is the first global financial ledger maintained by mathematics, cryptography, and a distributed network—not by banks.
Join us for an interactive, beginner-friendly introduction to Bitcoin and how it works. No prior knowledge is required—just bring your curiosity!
