自由閪。Defund the system! Passionate about privacy, encryption and ⚡️bitcoin. Forbidden lands, forgotten empires. Hong Kong is my home.
Thoughts on the new Vancouver Bitdevs logo (left) and the Vancouver Noderunners (right)? Both are monthly in-person events that I plan to move from Meetup to Luma. 
It’s super easy to run a #Lightning⚡️node and open a channel. The hard part is finding a reason or opportunity to use it.
Indeed quite easy to set up: BIP 353 Lightning Address: leonhard@weese.ws
Delivered to my door, fresh vegetables, bread and beer from local producers. The farm to table #Lightning⚡️ economy. Vancouver can be really great 
Meetup,com is raising its annual fees for organizers (the most basic tier) to US$360. I’ll definitely give up the three groups that I’m currently managing, but should I migrate elsewhere or simply rely on word of mouth?
The most beautiful train in the world, passing Burnaby Lake, heading for Toronto 
Trying to use Bitcoin can at times be very demotivating 😪
Everyday I’m impressed how stable and mature LND and the tools around it have become. Running a node no longer requires expert knowledge or constant maintenance, and even with just one channel, payments rarely fail. Worth a shoutout to all the internal and external contributors👏
Can’t handle tips:

Not a lot of choice when trying to onboard a North American hospitality business with Lightning.
Two identical blueberries, one sold by weight, the other by volume. How are markets supposed to work if people can’t compare prices? How much does a blueberry weigh by volume? 
A good convenience store in a high trust society doesn’t need doors. 
It’s not a proper kitchen unless the food is prepared on the street like this 
It’s very cool to be hanging out with people who only use Bitcoin while talking about anything but Bitcoin.

What could be a better place than a casual travel journal than Stacker News? I arrived in San Salvador today. It's my third trip, but the first tim...
To buy/sell something, anything, with Bitcoin is far more important on Pizza Day than eating or tweeting about Pizza. So I went out and paid 9044 sats for this gelato. Very happy to confirm that Uno Gelato is now accepting sats at all three of their Vancouver locations! 
Two years ago, the only way to celebrate Pizza Day in Vancouver was to use gift cards.
Last year, there was one place in town that sold pizza for Bitcoin.
This year, there are five.
Incredible growth. Find me at Corduroy from 6pm to celebrate!
One of America’s greatest caught in the wild in British Columbia. Built in 1954 by the now defunct Budd Company in Philadelphia for Canadian Pacific Railway.
Today was, indeed, my first Rodeo.
