BitcoinJungle (npub14f2…v7lu) released this video

quoting note10uj…vwx8

This is the best YouTube video you’ll see today. Watch it now!

Estela’s story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.

yesterday, about Abuelita (Estela Aguilar), the founder of the first farmers market to accept #Bitcoin in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 She recently was attacked while sheltering a migrant family, and her farm was destroyed

quoting note1mj9…haua

🚨ATTN Bitcoiners, today we ask for your help. Please read.

Estela Aguilar, known locally as the Abuelita, is the founder of the first farmer's market to accept Bitcoin in Costa Rica.

Her story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.

She recently sat down for an interview that will both make your jaw drop and warm your heart. All in 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this video, it's the best one you will see today on Twitter.

As a mother of 6, she's been shot, beaten, arrested & jailed while defending her small farm in the countryside from multinational corporations looking to take her land.

This 74 year old woman instinctually knew that Bitcoin is freedom money and she was all in from the very first day we met. Every week, she gladly sells the products of her farm for Bitcoin. She's a natural born HODLr.

Just a couple weeks ago, she took in a family of Venezuelan migrants and provided them with shelter, food, clothes, medicine, anything they needed. Putting politics aside, she saw people in need and she gave with all her heart.

In return, one of these migrants (while on drugs & alcohol), intentionally set fire to every structure on her little farm burning it to the ground. Then they disappeared.

She's filed a police report, but doesn't expect anything to happen- these people are long gone.

We're asking you to donate some sats to help rebuild her home. Anything helps.

Lightning Address: abuelita@pay.bitcoinjungle.app
On-Chain Address: bc1qvwh6fhdxnqrdq053men06j0g4mp4fk2x4tyuqn

You can watch her talk about her life here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkWL8bkkC4c

Once word got out, an incredible amount of support and love was sent in the form of freedom money… 300+ donations and over 25M sats!
“Don't let anyone tell you Bitcoin doesn't have a use case. It's right here. #Bitcoin is a force for good. Bitcoiners are a force for good.”

quoting note1y2w…wlcd

UPDATE:: In 6 hours, Bitcoiners from all over the world have raised more than 300 donations totaling $8k+ US!

When I got to the market today to visit Estela, she had no idea what was going on. I coordinated this with her daughter and she wanted it to be a surprise for her mom.

We explained to her what we were doing, showed her the tweet, how many views it already had, and her interview. She was really excited to see the interview (this is a clip from an upcoming documentary).

Finally, we asked her to open her Bitcoin wallet. There were millions of sats waiting for her. We explained these were donations from fellow Bitcoiners from every corner of the Earth.

Everyone broke into tears, none of us could believe the outpouring of support.

After a brief moment, Estela immediately started talking about the best uses for the money. Interestingly, none of them involved a structure for her to live in. She wanted to build things for the community.

Her daughter quickly reminded her that maybe she needs a roof over her head with the rainy season coming.

Estela replied that yes, while it will be nice to have a roof over her head tomorrow, she has quite enjoyed sleeping in a hammock at the beach. She will rebuild her modest home, and use whatever's left to give back to the community she cares about so much.

Don't let anyone tell you Bitcoin doesn't have a use case. It's right here. Bitcoin is a force for good. Bitcoiners are a force for good.

We always talk about #nostr being a place that supports creators, where they are free to share their work and receive value from others, so let’s showcase them and boost their visibility. The #artstr community is small but growing, and I keep seeing new artists arriving all the time.

Here is a very incomplete and non-exhaustive list of visual artists I’ve found here. If you know of others that should be added, please drop their npubs below!

NEW APP RELEASE !

💻nostr Tech💻

iefan 🕊️ (npub1cmm…lr6f) is building NostrNet.work to allow users to seamlessly switch between multiple #nostr web apps.

quoting note12z9…3v3m

Imagine using all these Nostr WebApp simultaneously without leaving the app, seamlessly switching between them with just one click, & Add your own sites.

It's happening, just needs some final touches.

brugeman (npub1xdt…ntxy) has added language detection to the nostr.band relay and you can now set language filtered feeds in your relay lists. See linked note for details.

quoting note16z0…t6av

Do we need language-filtered feeds?

I've added language detection to our relay and here are convenient filtered feeds: wss://feeds.nostr.band/lang/{LANG_CODE}

Try /lang/ru or /lang/de etc.

A good app to play with relays is Nostrrr: https://nostrrr.com/relay/nrelay1qq08wumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0d3skuee0dfssy3jex8

You can also try sending custom filters to relay.nostr.band like {"kinds":[1],"@lang":["de","ja"]} - there is no NIP for this, but if there is some demand for such stuff we could come up with one.

The detector is CLD2 which isn't too accurate, but extremely fast.

calle 👁️⚡👁️ (npub12rv…85vg) is looking for "reckless and techy" testers who are comfortable with command line to help test an upcoming feature for Cashu: backup and restore with seed phrase.

quoting note1r3h…k2f6

Looking for testers of this new Cashu feature that isn't merged yet: ecash backup and restore with a seed phrase. This is only implemented in Nutshell (command line interface) for now but will probably be in every Cashu wallet.

This is one of those features that needs proper testing before you merge it because you kind of lock into it once you activate.

So I'm looking for reckless and techy testers who aren't afraid of using the command line, installing cashu from source and trying things on our Testnut mint.

Here is the PR with a description of what to do to backup and restore tokens from a seed phrase. See the main repo's readme on how to clone and install cashu (using poetry). Please let me know if you try ig and send bug reports!

Any help is hugely appreciated 🫡

I just added the ability to DM a job poster on Ostrich.Work and redesigned the job post page to make it more readable and easier to learn more about the job poster.

Aaaaand now you can delete your job posts once you've filled the role. 🤝



Remember, delete requests on Nostr aren't atomic. I'm filtering these in Ostrich.Work but if a relay doesn't handle delete requests, then the post might still show up elsewhere.
