Square Crypto, a subsidiary of the payment giant Square, distributes two grants in order to raise awareness and interest Bitcoin. A grant will go to Bitcoin Core developer Jon Atack and Tankred Hase, a Bitcoin developer focused on UX.
The grants will help developers work in their own way. Atack will continue its work on Bitcoin Core. Hase plans to simplify the self-storage of small amounts of Bitcoin by creating a public key server that allows people to send the smallest unit of Bitcoin, satoshis, by SMS. He also plans to develop a module that supports the Lightning network.
Allow time. We have two today, as well as instructions on how you can fund your Bitcoin project. Learn more about our grant process here: https://t.co/AGdq7RpEJv

Square and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who is in the spotlight after Twitter shares fell more than 20% due to a shortfall and a recent trip to Africa, continues to receive support from the crypto community.
Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin stands behind Dorsey as billionaire hedge fund manager and crypto critic Paul Singer, who has acquired a significant stake in Twitter, is reportedly considering removing Dorsey from the helm.
me too #StandWithJack. Twitter certainly has faults, but @jack has done a much better job than I would expect / fear from a CEO appointed by a hedge fund to replace him.
