Day 9 of #Hack4Freedom Lagos with @D_plus__plus – the mastermind behind Bitcoin-powered Mario Kart.
Gamification + Bitcoin = education that actually works.
Key takeaways:
🔹 Mario Kart + Bitcoin = players earn sats while racing. Used in Kaduna, Lagos, Nairobi, Vegas – globally.
🔹 Lightning Addresses enable instant micropayments during gameplay. No new invoices every race.
🔹 Collaboration matters – Dee (engineer) + Brianna (branding) = success. Don't build alone.
Best way to learn Bitcoin? Play. Earn. Trust builds naturally. ⚡🧡
Today Elektron is pointing 1 EH/s at the @256FOUNDATION for Telehash #4.
Telehash is a solo-mining fundraiser. For the length of the event, miners point at a single pool. If that pool finds a block, the full reward goes to open-source Bitcoin mining development.
Open-source infrastructure is worth funding.
In my last monthly letter I wrote about why mining decentralization is important, and also inevitable.
Few groups are doing more to decentralize Bitcoin mining hardware and software than the 256 Foundation.
If you mine, consider donating some hashrate.
I’m pointing my home miners there, and maybe a few more.
May the hashing luck gods be with us.
Bitcoin Fungineer @D_plus__plus takes the stage!
Use memory injection to hook into a game's score or inventory and trigger real-time bitcoin payments via Lightning Address. 🍄
See you in Prague 👋🏻
not a podcast bro but a podcast producer bro 📡
i built the teledash overlay for @256FOUNDATION; you can point hashrate to the pool and watch yourself show up on the stream! ✨

Just over one week away from Telehash #4!
You can support FOSS mining with hashrate on https://t.co/ISg2J3Qmvg
And now, thanks to @D_plus__plus and @jungly, we're tracking total hashes contributed - aka the "loyalty leaderboard"!
Who's going to @FreedomTechSum in Prague?!
I'll be hosting a workshop to show you how to turn ANY existing video game into a BITCOIN game! And if you use my techniques, then I'll add your game to a gallery on my website. 🗝️
🎟️ Tickets: https://t.co/Hetry5acGb
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix watch this 30 minutes lecture and learn more about bitcoin mining than most people working at top Bitcoin companies learn in their entire careers.
Major thanks to @TheBitcoinConf for hosting Bitcoin Mario Kart on the Nakamoto stage, the audience for crowdfunding ₿2.75M for 1st place, @dtvelectronics for the BitForge Nano for 2nd place, @AbundantMines for handing out Bitaxes to random players, and @briimhd for the rebrand!
🔥 Imagine a lottery ticket that pays $80k and even if it doesn’t hit, it still powers the freedom tech revolution…
Placed 2nd and took home the Bitforge Nano prize. Solo block, here I come.
Big thanks to @D_plus__plus and @evento_so for the opportunity to compete. Awesome project and the most fun I had at Bitcoin 2026.
Technically this makes me a professional gamer now.
E-sports career officially launched ✅

@JuergenStrobel yeah you could use that convention but in bitcoin we don't tend to. you're right it's not really addition nor multiplication - it's a secret third thing.
ECDLP isn't a log problem it's a division problem. the name is just a diffie-hellman hand-me-down. on a curve you're asking "what scalar k satisfies P = kG" which is P/G which is undefined which is why your coins are safe. log base what. log base whomst.
@robin_linus This reminds me of when I asked Bitcoin Twitter, “I know how to multiply points in ECC but can anyone show me how to divide? 🤔”
No one got the joke so I deleted it. 😭
