Darko one of our association members had a Masterclass at the LuganoPlanB Forum in Lugano.

Here he showed how to set up a Multi Signatur Wallet. Of course with the Specter DIY as one of the cosigners.

Happy to welcome two new members to our Specter Association.

Darko, who ran a couple of Specter workshops at major Bitcoin conferences.

And @Surface a huge Specter fan who's been printing Specter cases since the early days.

Checkout up from minute 35. Schnuartz about the specter Assoziation.

🇩🇪 This Sunday 20:00 CET @ClavaStack | Schnuartz is going to speak about the Specter Association and the history in the @EINUNDZWANZIG Stammtisch

🚀 The Specter Association is LIVE! 🎉 Nine passionate Specter enthusiasts have united to advance Specter DIY & Specter Desktop. New leadership with @ClavaStack | Schnuartz as our President! Huge thanks to @Swan Bitcoin for empowering the community and transfering the project to us.

🌟 Meet the new Specter Association Board of directors!
Led by President @ClavaStack | Schnuartz, running a Specter DIY online shop, and Vice President Mike, who helped a lot with development. Rounding out the board: CryptoGuide (shield lite board) and Yan (co-founder of Swan Bitcoin).


Our early founders, Moritz Wietersheim and Stepan Snigirev stepped back from leadership roles and transitioned to honorary members. @Kayth21, @polto and k9ert, have all played key roles in advancing the Specter Project.


Our united focus now shifts to expanding Specter's accessibility, streamlining contributor onboarding, creating beginner-friendly documentation, and enhancing UX—while prioritizing the project's security-first design.🔒
