Bitcoin Crowdfunding for New Ideas and Humanitarian Causes | Geyser

Geyser helps people launch new Bitcoin project ideas and fund humanitarian causes worldwide, accelerating adoption through transparent crowdfunding.

IYKYK 🐽⚡️ Lightning Piggy P1 now supports both: hot (Lightning) and cold (on-chain) wallets. Switch between spending and savings at the touch of a button. v0.5 of the code ships in honour of @Fartface2000, who created BitPiggys back in 2019: an Opendime strapped to a physical piggy bank. Now part of the @SHAmory family. Update your piggy today to gain this extra functionality. #MicroPythonOS #BitcoinKids #bitcoin

17 hours of printing and we've got 11 new magic sticks. Why so long? We're printing with a 0.2mm nozzle to get the logo nicely dialled. We could've used a sticker, but that would've been too easy 🙃 We don't compromise when we choose bitcoin, so we won't compromise on quality.

A big thank you from the heart to everyone who joined us at the @Bitcoin FilmFest Lightning Piggy Workshop. We had a blast, and we can't wait to see what you build out in the wild. Lightning Piggy MicroPythonOS v0.5 was released at the event. And there's still something in the air, so stay tuned for the big reveal in case you missed it.

We’ve been working on something special. All will be revealed at the @Bitcoin FilmFest Lightning Piggy workshop 🐽⚡️

The Lightning Piggy project is lit. So much going on behind the scenes our trotters have barely touched the ground. Recent P1 updates shipped: * Sexy dark mode (with matching QR) * Stunning on-screen hero mascots, including Piggy's new friend Lightning Penguin — more to come :) * Native ₿ font now built into MicroPythonOS * International number formatting * Fresh welcome screen and setup guide * Wallet cache — balances & transactions stay even if the internet drops * Restructured settings menu * Balance cycling is back: sats, ₿, bits, µBTC, mBTC, BTC * New screen lock setting ⚡🐽 And we're just getting started. Big things cooking.
