I’m in San Salvador on #bitcoin day. Starting this thread to keep you posted.
My feeling as of this moment: we are witnessing history.

- 1. Run a Bitcoin node. 2. Connect it to your wallet software. 3. Start using Bitcoin without sharing your transactions with third parties. It's not difficult, yet surprisingly few people do it. In this thread, we will connect @umbrel and @SparrowWallet. Let's get started 🧵
- The sound of free bitcoin! A few months back, I set up an automation in Home Assistant that activates my bitcoin miner when the electricity price falls below a specific threshold. I completely forgot about it because the price per kWh never dipped that low. Until today...
00:00 - Replying to @Bart_MolRecap: I paid for my $5 Big Mac, using my @getumbrel node that is 9.500 km away, connecting with @ZeusLN, paying 6 sats transaction fee. 6 sats. $0,003. Let that sink in. Like @jackmallers always says: “You can’t compete with open source” Your turn @Mastercard & @Visa

- Leuk nieuws: ik heb ontslag genomen en ga in 2021 full-time met #bitcoin aan de slag. Dat was niet gelukt zonder alle support van de @SatoshiRadioPod luisteraars en @BitcoinAlpha_ lezers. Om dat te vieren geven we een maand lang gratis Bitcoin Alpa weg:
- I love the open-source mining movement. Look at this beauty! Just printed this case (thanks to @RohEisenHammer) for my Gamma. The double fans improved cooling, especially of the temperature regulator, and increased hash power by 15%. Setup and benchmarks in the next tweets.
