You should check out Vipassana (seeing things as they really are). Did a retreat last month and would highly recommend. It’s 10 days of meditation, no devices, no talking.

Looking for a VPS to run BTCPayServer
Looking at LunaNode, Clovyr, Voltage. I don't suspect too much volume to start. Would you recommend one over the other?

🚨 NEW LOGO 🚨
Books, articles, podcasts, memes, music and more. Yet very few truly understand bitcoin.
The barrier to entry? Curiosity and willingness to learn.
We hope to capture this essence through our new logo.
A play on 'S'tudent and a question mark.

Would be good to connect with some of the other circular economy founders in Africa. There’s plenty @npub1vmm…fp4m is a good example.
Tbh from our travels the past year and visiting ~10 different communities. A founder will recommend you to get started and post updates on progress.
What is the goal of your project? How will you accomplish it?
Happy to help out.

The past year on the road, merchant adoption has been a priority for us. Why? They are the key to network effects for acceptance/payments.
We’ve been talking about a maturity model and finally put it on paper last night. Here is v1 based on our interactions with merchants and our bitcoin preferred juice shop in Uganda.
Would appreciate your feedback/comments on this.
We see the maturity of a merchant in three levels based on how money is used.
Level 1: SoV OR MoE (merchant onboards with either user case based on their need/pain)
Level 2: SoV & MoE
Level 3: SoV & MoE & UoA
There is maturity within each use case (ie SoV: storing in exchange vs cold storage). We’re weak on the UoA use case so if you have experience with merchants pricing in sats, would love your thoughts!
We’re hoping to continue flushing this out to create more collateral to help further merchant adoption.

Your incentive? Progressing bitcoin adoption!
We’ve been on the road for a year now and have encountered a few problems (traveling, earning sats, on-boarding users, etc). We’d like to build a proof of concept and need a technical expert to join this journey.

Meet Succesy, an artist in Living Stone Zambia. We met him at the @npub1xxc…tfly meetup yesterday.
He’s a great artist, and is unable to showcase his work since his phone was stolen a few months ago.
Anuja and I wanted to help him out so we bought him a basic smart phone today, set up @npub12vk…pugg and @npub13lj…cfhw so he can post his artistic progress with you all.
He can ship his art worldwide, so if this is of interest, do hit him up.
If you can, zap him a couple sats, so he understands the power of value for value!

🚨 30 Day Whiteboard Challenge 🚨
30 days, 30 mins/day, one whiteboard
Day 1 (Dec 21): 📍Makerere University (Uganda)
A student stopped to ask 'What is #Bitcoin'
We explained some basics and gave him 5000 UGX to get a cut at a barber who accepts #Bitcoin
Having a local business that accepts #Bitcoin always helps the conversation especially for the question 'How can I spend this?'

📍Calgary -> Kampala
8 months ago I spoke with @BrindonMwiine for the first time. He was inspired by my whiteboard to bring it to the streets of Kampala.
Today we united our two whiteboards in front of Makerere University (Uganda's largest university)

Onboarding and simplifying the message has been on my mind a lot lately. Came up with this flywheel to set people on the right path to Bitcoin. Calling it the 4 S's but open to suggestions on better names.
Study, Save, Spend, Spread

After a decade of the corporate world my wife and I have embarked on a #Bitcoin pilgrimage around the world. We hope to learn more about yourselves, about Bitcoin and how it can help society as a whole. There are plenty of communities we wish to visit and share their stories along the way!
Starting off in Africa and will work our way east -> Asia -> South America.

📍Jabal Umm ad Dami (Jordans highest peak)
Someone in the tour group was a Bitcoiner so we hit it off. At the end of the hike his 6 year old daughter asks "why do you two only talk about Bitcoin!?" 😂

You know shit is bad when your mum sends you a video about the downfall of Canada in your native language.
https://youtu.be/rX3vYeAXY6M?si=0v9Q-PH0-fOgAyZB
Video discusses:
-Healthcare waitimes
-Reliance on USA
-Barriers for businesses
-Real estate fiasco
-Inflation for basic needs...
-Infrastructure does not match growing in population
-Minimal investment in R&D to foster innovation in Canada

📍Geneva (held board for 15 minutes)
Many silently nudged their friend towards my sign but no one said anything except for a group of guys who called it a scam. They were on bicycles so I couldn't retort.

NOSTR on mobile/web has been weird since I got to Jordan. Haven't figured out the reason behind it yet.
A lot to catch up on! The 100 Day Bitcoin Challenge is complete so will post the remaining update and share what's new :)

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 91)
+4 - traditionally in my culture we gift gold when a baby is born into the family. I decided to give them #Bitcoin instead and instructed their parents to give it only when they turn 18! I hope the kids appreciate it.
I used an Opendime and put it in a treasure box to make it look more exciting 🥳

I'm so done with real estate! My wife and I sold our home and we're still being charged property tax. I've been advised to contact the city to figure out what is going on 🤬

2023-08-17 13:26:20

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 89)
+3 - Sent a friend #Bitcoin three different way: ⚡️custodial (@walletofsatoshi), ⚡️ non-custodial (@PhoenixWallet ), #Bitcoin on-chain (@bluewalletio)
She learned a ton about #Bitcoin transactions!
Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 83
⚡️custodial: good option for someone to experience #Bitcoin for the first time since it has minimal friction BUT not the safest since the user does not own the private keys
⚡️ non-custodial: user owns the private keys so a more secure way to interact with the lightning network
#Bitcoin on-chain: the OG way to interact with #Bitcoin before the lightning network existed. The transaction is recorded on the 'ledger.' An excellent way to explain the blockchain by using the txID on @mempool (seeing visual blocks really makes a difference)

Anyone travelled with a hardware wallet while extensively traveling? I'm concerned about raising suspicion customs/borders.

2023-07-08 13:17:11

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 88)
+1 - tipped a server in Bitcoin who was initially hesitant but agreed to do it since I'd tipped his other colleagues in #bitcoin already.
Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 80
This is the 8th server I've tipped in #Bitcoin.
Next time when you're out, ask your server if they've ever been tipped in #Bitcoin. It's likely they haven't so be the first to get them on the orange train!

Ah that's unfortunate, I guess you have to convince your next barber!

2023-07-06 15:12:39

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 81-87)
+1 - paid my barber in #Bitcoin for the 4th time
Me: how many others have paid in sats
Him: only one other
Me: why not give a discount, maybe 5%
Him: not a bad idea...go update my pricing board
Me: 🥳
After I added the '5% discount', he liked my writing so much that he had me re-write his whole pricing board 🤣
Next time you get a cut, talk to your barber, ask if they'll accept #Bitcoin, help them understand. You won't know unless you try.

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 79-80)

Him: which app
(SOLD 🥳)
Total #Bitcoin📷 Interactions: 74
7th server that I've tipped in sats so far. Give it a shot next time you're out. It may feel weird at first but I've gotten used to asking and seeing how they react.

2023-06-27 20:35:32

100 Day #Bitcoin📷 Challenge (Day 77)
+1 - sent Bitcoin on-chain to a buddy who is in commercial real estate.
Analogy used: this is like pulling 'title' on a property but anyone in the world can pull 'title' on a transaction!

I'm moving so haven't been able to stay on top of these updates. Will do my best to post progress
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 71-76)
+3 - had friends send on-chain transactions to one another at a party. Sent #bitcoin to a friend. Had them send it to the person next to them, and had the second person send it to a third person.
Discussed the mempool, fees and ability to send money extremely easily without having to touch any third parties. Had them use @bluewalletio for a non-custodial experience!

100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 27-28)
Took this to the library, 2 people asked questions but security told me I can’t be marketing on the property. Weirdly, security was okay if the sign faced the street. I figured the library of all places would be okay but haters gonna hate!
