Who is growing hops by the seawall at Stanley Park?
Saw this trailer, thought of nostr:npub1w60s85hfvszc0y6gn3cxj5ddzz5fw6qzz7u6pnyaec2xc2eksnes6n5ftw and wondered, can I be the change I want to see in this world? After a very brief interaction the owner downloaded a Lightning wallet and received their first sats in exchange for a charger. Exciting things are happening on Granville Street, Vancouver, B(t)C
You should get fined $200 for every time your car alarm goes off. If you’re stupid enough to think car alarms prevent car theft, maybe $200 is a low price to pay for the safety of your car.

Paying at Mahony’s pub with Bitcoin. I’m always impressed how despite the many employees nobody is ever confused about how to accept Lightning payments. But Eukapay needs to fix some bugs!
I’ll be at the Bitcoin Educators Unconference in Vamcouver next week, speaking about how to host a Bitdevs seminar. I’ll also talk a bit about our Nodeacademy! See you there!
This looks like a really great event, focusing on the design aspects of Bitcoin. There's lots of exciting work to do!
September 15-19, Presidio Bitcoin, San Francisco
