Venezuela: Bitcoin mining machines found at the biggest & most dangerous prison So It's a pretty long story, actually. Venezuela has nothing to envy to a epic Netflix movie. The Tocorón Prison is the biggest & more dangerous prison from Venezuela. From there, a criminal organization named "Tren de Aragua" operates most of the crime in the central region in the country, but with the recent migration crisis they've managed to spread their tentacles all over South America, including countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Chile. "Tren de Aragua" means the train of Aragua, a province of Venezuela. It refers to an old unfinished & abandoned train construction workers sindicate that evolved into this criminal and prolific organization. The Tocoron prison was like a criminal citadel. Let me explain: they had a neighborhood for family and friends, a club where international artists presented their shows, a pool with park and recreation for kids, a farm with exotic animals and guess what... a Bitcoin mining facility INSIDE THE PRISON. The Tocoron prison is located nearby the San Vicente industrial area, where many companies closed shop thanks to fucking communism & Bitcoin miners took their place to do their thing, taking advantage of industrial facilities and cheap energy. Some of these mining entrepeneurs have been working there since around year 2014. Many of them are legit, I can say. Some others are corrupt politicians, army officials and whatnot. So it's not a surprise that yesterday, when the government decided to raid the prison, they fund several Bitcoin mining equipment in there. As I said, this is a heavy material for a script writer to make a Netflix movie or series. Anyway, check the media coverage of this chapter in my crazy crazy country. BeINCrypto:

Nostr APIs like Primal, Iris and SnortSocial are buggy, at least in my experience. How such incredible developers could make something like Nostr while having these kind of buggy interfaces and web apps? That's beyond comprehension for me, that's for sure. But I'd still like to know if I'm doing something wrong. I have two questions for you, dear Nostr user that reads me: 1. What's the best Nostr learning/resources page out there? 2. How can I have my own customized username both in Primal & Iris? I try to set it everytime I can but it just don't work at all. (Am I using the wrong browser? Do I have to clean up cookies or something?) Good evening! Hope you can read me. I'll be looking forward to your answers.

SUMMER CLEANUP So I scrolled down & cleaned my list of follows today. I've found many unactive accounts from bitcoiners that decided to opt-out from Xwitter, even before Elon took charge of it. Others are no longer working at the same companies/projects they were into when I met them, and now they're working on their personal projects, some of them still undisclosed. It's been a brutal bear market, so many people had changed jobs mostly due to shortages, but they seem to have realized a job is only a place you go to learn until you feel ready to be an entrepeneur and take full responsability of your income, purpose & means of life, approaching yourself to be a sovereign individual. On the other hand, even when we bitcoiners love communities & gather into conferences as much as we can, must of us are prone to be reclusive and associal. And in some cases, like the ones of bitcoin developers or any other volunteering job, you can get desillusioned real quick. I don't blame them. It's like even when #Bitcoin represents hope in this troubled world, there's always a moment you lose it & start to take life changing decisions according to your newly adjusted vision of the world. Believe me, I also see things I don't like about the Bitcoin ecosystem, like over compliant KYC companies, state lobbyists, low adoption rate, little support for real bitcoin projects, expensive & flashy conferences and more. But I've learned to also feel inspired of what surrounds me. My friends, colleagues, partners here in El Salvador, and others in the world doing awesome things. Sometimes you just have to take a break, have some wine and talk about life with your friends, not only because is an essential part of friendship but because talking all day about Bitcoin is boring and you don't get to know a person just by staying into that topic. Last weekend I did and felt grateful about it. I'm blessed to be here. As usual, I took a photo to never forget it. San Salvador sunrise. Raw. No edits needed. Cheers! 🍷😉✨ ⚡criptoluis@8333.mobi ⚡criptoluis@getalby.com ⚡criptoluis_@blink.sv
