I think Africa is a prime region for bitcoin adoption like Latin America.

Very similar to El Salvador, specially the countries using the CFA. The countries not sovereign on their currency will be the first to adopt bitcoin.

And starting as a grassroot project is the best way to go!

think like Redhat

If a company wants to deploy a bitcoin bank, then they might want to use our codebase instead of developing everything themselves

from here, they could do the deployment and maintenance themselves, but because we know the codebase best, there is benefits in hiring us (lower cost, can provide SLA, know how to add features if needed)

something along the line of 60% intraledger, 30% lightning, 10% onchain. volume would have higher skew for onchain than transaction count.

we see different regimes across time also. for instance, when Chivo wallet was released, it was really only onchain, so we had a spike at this time, but now lightning is working better on Chivo so we see more of it, thanksfully.

Use those sats to post jobs for Galoy on the Stacker News job board. You'll get your job postings in front of 13,500+ Bitcoiners and all the sats will be paid back directly to Stacker News users.

100% of SN revenue goes back to users.

Donating is a great idea, but just to give another suggestion: Find the best posts on Stacker News and pay it to those authors over time - that's how we create a circular economy :)

I think most of the barrier are within jurisdictions, not necessarily across borders.

said another way, the key painpoints I think related to going back and forth from fiat to sats. every country has different rules. after the conversation to sats, going to another sats wallet has less (if any) barrier

100%. posted an issue almost a year ago already

I think we should post a bounty to get the developer community contribute on this. this is a very important things to add to our stack IMO

it's actually easier at 6-18 months than after!

• choose airbnb with at least 2 bedrooms
• you have less clutter because you just get a few toy, and change them when you travel from one place to another one
• if you find Airbnb that have toys, that is a great option
• traveling by car is a lot easier than place. don't have to plan as much with a car.
• don't book anything is advance
• it's easier if one of the partner is not working :)

in the end, that is not so much different than been at the "real" home IMO.

what is more challenging is the work part of digital nomadism. things like bad internet, bad chairs, bad desks.

similar I guess, but different. AFAIK, strike use either USD in bank account or USDT depending on the jurisdiction.

Our current POC use synthetic USD. a more detailed explanation on how this works is here.

A 1h video explaining how this works in detail can be watched here

It would not be very complicated to also add the option of USD and USDT, we would need to have another dealer that would use a spot exchange instead

Roquefort

don't have the most insights on this one. https://revault.dev/ is probably a good starting point, but it's more institution than for individual AFAIK

we need more dev on bitcoin core that have a focus on security. there are so few devs very focus on that. The stakes are so high, we need more.

I'm not @nb, but I work with him. IMHO, solutions for businesses. Need readily accessible point of sale terminals for physical businesses.

1. slack channels are helpful IMO. slack has many limitations but I can't say Telegram is panacea. we had the discussion days ago about switching out of slack but not clear what the best option is if we were to move out it.
2. accounts and balance are indeed a trusted setup currently. shared custody rely on the fact it's possible to have a multisig for cold storage and keys holder can be distributed on different people.
3. no?

I'm not familiar with it but I know that it's possible to do some payment where only the sender is online, not the recipient. it used some types of PIN

1. msats are not real
2. you mean one click setup type of things? for small community project that is the long term goal, still a lot to do to get there. for larger projects, they'll all wants specifics things so there will be custom things to configure/implement
3. I think we're at the #reckless stage of DLC. it will takes multiple years before we have stable channel imo, because we're compounding the challenges of DLC and lightning.

aloha

Can you kindly explain a bit about the shared custody behind the Bitcoin Beach Wallet -- and the associated benefits ?
