Ok, so I finally figured out where to send the funds. The organization that my best friend works for has been working tirelessly since the storm. He finally got back home for a short stretch and sent me a bunch of images, video, and updates. At this point they are just trying to convince people to leave the area because it's going to be literally months before the roads and power are back in order.

Just so you guys know where it's going, I'll be selling the BTC and sending fiat to the organization below, and there's a paypal link on their website if you want to simply pay them directly to help out. They will use it for helicopter fuel, supplies, equipment, staff, etc.

Below again is the BTC address, and also all of the zaps that you send to me for the month (maybe for longer) will all go directly to this as well. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far 🙏

thanks for this guy - sent $25 thanks to you!

Thank you! I'll make sure to get the most out of every sat 🫡

Henderson county has some amazing people. Leaving the area is great for those that can, but for the people who call this area home, they’ll often have no where else to go.

While the roads and electricity are down, lots of residences and small communities are still viable and self sufficient, but they will need fuel and other outside resources as their stockpiles begin to wane.

Please consider supporting Guy or donating fiat directly to this organization.

Thanks for coordinating Guy 🙏💜 Heading to their website now

Sent something to you to pass on, thank you 🙏

My friend also said he will report back with a good option for direct relief to the victims. It'll be good to split up the funds across supplies and rescue efforts, and then simply getting it directly to the people who have nothing left from this disaster.

Weird question but... Why do they all look so happy?

Lol, its from their organization website. This is from like 2 years ago or something. This has nothing to do with the storm. 🤣

That's what I thought 😌

Because they live in North Carolina. Life is great here under normal circumstances

Contrary to popular belief there was life before electricity...

Are you literally here to imply that people who have no basic services, infrastructure of any kind, roads washed out, towns inaccessible and businesses all shut down aren’t as bad off because “there was life before electricity?”

I’m hoping you posted this on the wrong note.

You'll find that some of those are quite well prepared as people used to be to deal with it.

One size does not fit all ever.

I don’t understand how any of this is relevant or if you think I made some sort of claim that you are countering.

I'm pushing back against the common holier than though "ye all must do as I say & leave" BS.

They can make their own decisions.

*thou*

The world may be full of stupid people, but not all of them are...

Cool

I saw a post (ultimately from X that someone posted on Nostr) that FEMA is preventing supplies from getting in.

Has your friend heard or experienced that?

I tried to zap and receiving address lacks capacity. Have a look and I’ll come back and hit it.

Same here.

I think I hit my limit on Alby and didn’t realize. I emptied it just before I left and I’ll be better about keeping capacity. Thanks for the heads up 🙏🏻

Thanks again for connecting everyone 🙏

Please sell to Bitcoiners not some exchange.

Heads up I just tried to zap this and got an error “unable to complete operation”

Send 50000 sats via paypal but forgot to mention it came from nostr, we should still spread the word I reckon!

I just ran into one of my first ever major frictions with my CC + tapsigner + Nunchuk + NFC setup... there's a limit to how many UTXOs you can sign and send over NFC 🤣 😅

You guys sent in too many transactions, lol. I'm having to consolidate in stages 🔥

nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 coin control makes this fantastic tho

Are you convertjng BTC to dollars and sending them cash?

Just asking questions

"crackup" gfy lol

GM. GFY 😂

Yes, they accept via PayPal. Only other option is to mail a check which seems pointlessly slow.

Cash thru the US mail: much more secure than PayPal!

That’s cool I was just curious

t-y Guy! i like your effort!
