Today (at my fiat job) we're raising $1.39MM in community financing to help a company in Bristol Bay, AK called Circle Seafoods build a mobile salmon processing barge. The barge will be out-fitted with flash-freezers, storage, and ice production to help fishers out on the water sell their catch at peak quality (fresh from the sea) and for a premium. We launched two hours ago and have raised over $905k!! This community lending model is a great way for communities and businesses that need access to capital to bypass big banks. Community lenders earn the return as opposed to giant financial institutions. Check it out #nostriches. This is community supporting community to build resilient and free (as in speech) food systems. If any of you jump into the campaign (loans can start at $100 USD), please ping me here and let me know. #regenerativeagriculture #foodfreedom #fishing #food #farming #fiatfood #grownostr #freedom #community

How does it work? If I send 232486 sats โšก with lightning ($100), it will go to a loan to community, and I get some return back? Is it in lightning โšก too? How often ?
Thanks Alejandro! That means a lot to me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the experience--now and going forward.
