But there was much less value stored in it and actually not many people cared. Of course it has to begin small.

I can’t trust software as important as that of Bitcoin that is only maintained by a single person.
I want to express my gratitude to all people contributing to Bitcoin Core!
It would be great to have more well maintained alternatives to Core, but it will take time for them to build trust.

I‘m usually early or on time. Today this paid off, because the system at the Harare checkin was down, which is very common. Behind us the queue was building while we are already at the gate.
Leaving the African continent for Europe. I have been in Kenya, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Will hopefully be back in a couple of months. Going is always a rollercoaster of emotions, sad to leave, happy to arrive.

Really sad to watch this. After the Europeans and Americans, the Chinese are the new conquerors of the African continent with support of local ruling parties. 10% of people are profiteering, while 90% of the population is suffering.
"Complaints are mounting in Zimbabwe, where Chinese mining companies have a history of labor, environmental and human rights abuses. Same story across the continent, as China taps into vast reserves of cobalt, copper, gold, lithium and other minerals."

Had a fantastic Bitcoin meetup with 30 participants in Bulawayo today.
First the locals Langa and Alexandria spoke about Bitcoin as an alternative to the inflationary national currencies and the historic role of money in the slave trades.
After my Bitcoin 101 we installed Misty @npub1jug…fc28 and practiced receiving and sending.
Zimbabweans understand the value of Bitcoin immediately as they went several times through hyperinflation recently.
The costs of the event were covered by @npub1fqq…qzch - thanks to our donors!!

Working in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa comes with challenges like daily load shedding. That means there is no electricity as there is not enough production to cover the demand. In South Africa there is an app that announces times without electricity, at least you can plan. Not in Zambia and Zimbabwe, here you never know when it comes or for how long. Even if you have solar since batteries are expensive many houses only have electricity for a couple of hours. If it’s a rainy day even less. So we turn off the fridge and use solar lamps. Whenever power comes we immediately start charging all devices. When electricity goes often the internet dies down too. And you never know when. Quite challenging. https://image.nostr.build/8388c4ecaf325cf3d70b82db39a2b54e77419ca138340ece1383baa1caaaf8b9.jpg

Actually, corporate miners do care. And we have much more of them than solo miners.

Conducted this workshop in Zimbabwe today.

Look what I found in an artist’s studio in Harare. An old Reuters trading keyboard. It has a „Mine“ key on the top right. https://image.nostr.build/4f3dbdf493bb98619468fcc016f270ecbc64c0491e93081a4577f55a04b10d0c.jpg
