If you are not going to the @npub1uv2t...rmr8 conference you're really missing out. If you go to a conference this is the kind of mail you would love to receive. This week is going to be amazing.

This evening I spend time teaching children about bitcoin. 11 years old was easily creating a new seed with @npub17tyk...3mgl and we used bluewallet to export the xpub. We wrote down the seed words and verified them. Signed a PSBT. Talked about devaluating currency with the Venezuelan (🙏@npub1kvfz...cy2c) and Zimbabwean (🙏@Gigi ) notes. Explained the @npub18d4r...6lt3 on their phones. They loved magic internet money and asked a thousand questions. It was beautiful.

Bitcoin is by the people, for the people. We are with many and we will eventually prevail. Stay humble, stack and spend sats. Create more than you destroy. View quoted note →

This is now a collectors item. I didn’t expect privacy to become criminalized this rapidly. The honeymoon fase is over. View quoted note →

We updated our website. First we are very happy that we can finally include two Dutch translated books the hardcover of @☣️ Vijay Selvam⚡️ “Een optimistisch scenario voor Bitcoin” and @Saifedean Ammous “Grondbeginselen voor de economie” that was translated together with the Dutch Mises institute. We’ve updated our miner installation portfolio on offer and incorporated some nice install pics with them. We ordered 21 pins when we saw that @Kanuto did some proof of work. Super cheap delivery for the Dutch 😉 Enjoy the shop, as always we only accept bitcoin and delete your data after shipment.

This classic. Get ready for this epoch. View quoted note →

A couple months ago I took Marloes to the greenhouse where we grow the bitcoin tulips that we heat with miners. She created a Dutch article about the halving in one of the most read newspapers in the Netherlands. You can see she has low time preference. The graphics when you scroll through the article on your phone are amazing. The explanation of the halving is the best I’ve seen in the Dutch media landscape. It’s nice to see Eyvy the farmer from Norway is mentioned and “waste of energy” is still a thing. I’m really happy to see that we are starting to reach the masses with a more balanced story. Looking forward to the articles for the next halving already.

Feest voor bitcoinfans, de ‘halving’ komt eraan. De wat?

When you see this, what do you think? I think massive build out of sovereign wind and solar generation with our own micro DC grid mining away the excess to create a solid business case for citadels.

Ossification is something a lot of people push for. More privacy (something that is worked on meticulously) is a necessary evolution in the future. We’ll see what software everyone runs in a few decades from now. View quoted note →

Lets see if we can make it happen on zap.stream today. 16.30 CET. Also we’ll try to broadcast from https://youtube.com/live/PdlsNEmOW0o View quoted note →

Later this year we are planning to start offering plug and play nodes and payment servers. We are currently testing @Printer beauties. The ronindojo bokuto and btcpayserver enclosure. Hack0 hardware with 2TB for the node and 1TB for the @BTCPay Server. This hardware should last longer (~decade) than our raspis (1-3 years they only lasted). We’ve been testing quite some setups but these are real beauties, proper proof of work which i can really appreciate. The node took ~5 days to sync the bitcoin timechain. There were some issues with starting the plug and play btcpayserver, which we’ll solve soon. It’s great going through these testing cycles and be in toch with fellow pleb builders in Europe. I’m really happy to see the free open market is so decentralized. Can’t wait we start supplying more plug and play sovereign devices soon. We are most likely going to need them in the future.
