No kidding this winter weather has been brutal. But you really should get in touch with Gratuitas when you can. You are exactly the type of vendor they would love to have. Decentralized producers from all around. Seems like a perfect match to me at least.

I see. Maybe I have my terms mixed up. All I know is many aspects of Monero are more conducive to a digital cash than Bitcoin. If one doesn't care about the combination of sovereignty, privacy, and very cheap transactions I can see how it might not be as appealing. But your grievances about its relatively smaller adoption and niche uses are fair. I'm not a maxi either though. I think people should just use whatever tools they personally find useful.
