@thewilliamlehr Also some impressive snakes! These recent photos are all on our hill.

@thewilliamlehr There is also a mini coyote pack out at night on the hill — starting seeing and hearing them a month ago.

@rektsorekt @1440000bytes @Conza to be clear, that’s not a dig at knots. there just aren’t many bitcoin developers with consistent proof of work and experience applying for grants to work on open source — there are very few

[…::: jon @jonatack]

@rektsorekt @1440000bytes @Conza there haven’t been any knots applicants, at least not since late 2024 when I began reviewing them — the pledditor post is true

@JamieRobinson (If memory serves the price went up 27% in April 2024 for residential consumption over 300 kWH/month. Basically any A/C or typical N American appliances will push you well over that. I don’t know how the price has evolved since then.)

@JamieRobinson Generating your own power is the way to go imo. Freedom and self-sovereignty.

@1440000bytes @Conza Some of the board members have posted here on X that they are willing to support devs who propose to work on other clients like knots. OS currently funds a dev working on libbitcoin.

@1440000bytes There are specialized volunteers that review applications and grantee reports in each area.

@thewilliamlehr @nayibbukele Nice, when did that change? Noticed that immigration stopped charging me on entry at the start of this year, continuing with several more entries since then.

My trees in the woods only produce a few dozen a year, and very often birds get to them before they are ripe to be picked. So for me, homegrown soursop is a treat.

Ripe soursop (guanábana) fruit fresh from my trees in El Salvador 🇸🇻 quite rare, delicious and very healthy

Update: preparing the next floor of the energy, bitcoin mining and R&D/seminar house, 120 meters from the first house, between Tamanique and San Salvador.

Looking for a firm to pour the slab — referrals/ intros welcome.

Continually building in El Salvador 🇸🇻

Panels and power shed work in progress site, planning to start with a test setup in the garage with a panel on the front deck while that area is being done

This is a living document that will evolve with the industry, the markets and the global economy.

AI is driving exponential change and El Salvador will be THE tech hub keeping pace with it.
