Weโve been on a side-quest, and we have good news from the other side! 40 million Kenyans now have a bitcoin Lightning Address! They didnโt need to sign up for one because they had it this entire time, attached to the phone number in their pocket!
Try it: send bitcoin to [email protected] (254 is optional). The BTC arrives as KES in their M-Pesa. โก EVERY M-Pesa number works. All 40,000,000.
Wallets with LUD-09 support give you a nice clickable link to see your M-Pesa receipt. For example: https://t.co/OK0R62jNWt
Incredible meetup last night!
Another joint record attendance, with 16 people (including 2 newcomers) discussing nodes, hardware wallets, multisig, Lightning, ecash, self-sovereignty, inheritance planning and much more ๐ช
@JRCarnall and I cant wait a month to chat about bitcoin with real life plebs so were going to meet up at my little coffee shop once a week and have a natter. If you would like to join us we will be @PumphreysBE in the @graingermarket1 from 10am til Midday on Fridays for the foreseeable future. This doesn't effect the @BitcoinNCL meetup. We'll be there too. ๐https://t.co/KM2B3OYZXX
