Find me on Telegram or Twitter (same username as here), let's see if we can find an economic way to get it to you :)

There are many possibilities, you can code one yourself. This I just implemented:

Other ways I could think of is writing it as 100K.

I'm looking for a way to manage the shipping costs for outside the EU while keeping costs and customs forms the lowest. For the US it's coming soon at https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/

May I ask what country/continent you're from?

This is getting off-topic but I disagree, people should indeed think about what they spend their money on and if you think this is not useful that's perfectly fine.

However, people should also spend their sats. Huge fan of this article which explains why.

Last but not least, the repairability of open source hardware projects is very high. If it breaks you can just replace one of the components to repair it cheaply or use the components in other projects. In both cases it doesn't become electronic waste as closed, proprietary stuff often does when it breaks.

It's €125 if you build it yourself. It is designed to be a fun and open-source DIY project by bitcoiners, for bitcoiners. Some people are not able or have the time to solder it themselves. Also I only accept sats as payment.

Thats right! Here is a screenshot of the web-interface so you can see all the features:

Thanks for reporting, will look into it right away!

edit: Fixed!

This is my project, I intentionally kept the instructions a bit vague for now since this isn't ready for people who don't have the technical knowledge what "disabling umbrel" means or know how to search how to it ;)

It means disable umbrel functionality so it won't start after a reboot.

After two days it's running quite stable with far less resources, so I might write a step-by-step tutorial to migrate.

Thanks, thats really nice to hear!

The dominance of Europe is mostly because there is a very active Dutch community of Lightning Network nodes called Satoshi Radio.

We started our first Ring of Fire with 65 nodes with mainly Dutch speaking node operators, and after doing some smaller rings with that community as well we thought it was better to "Connect the World". We've done over 100 rings of fire from the Satoshi Radio Ring of Fire group now, but there are probably more similar shapes done in other communities like Plebnet and LN+.

Although many people of those communities participate in multiple of these concepts, I was only able to create a point of view from our SR RoF community.

This is because most nodes are behind tor, to see how well we are doing we ask participants to provide their country. Those are collected for the map in a privacy friendly way, so not connected to their public keys. We only know what countries are connected to each other (so two nodes from the same country are not counted for the map).

As you stated yourself, there are also fewer countries on the North American continent. However, the arcs are also thinner which means there are lesser connections in general.

This is of course not intentional, we welcome everyone to join our mission to #connect_the_world. If you want to contribute, we'd love to see you in our Telegram group (linked on the map page).
