This is our local ice cream šŸ¦ motorbike.

Dude just has a cooler box on the back with ice šŸ“¦ 🧊

I kept asking him if he would accept #bitcoin. 3rd time lucky!

His wife had downloaded the Chivo Wallet and today we paid in #bitcoin

Best tasting ice cream ever! šŸ¦ šŸ˜‹

Do you have any hope that some day Chivo Wallet will be a good wallet? Have the bugs fixed...

Other thing: I heard that the Chivo Atm's should have started to support lightning in December 2023. What happened? Any Chivo ATM already support lightning? Thanks.

Hey. Great questions. Hard to say. I think Chivo needs a total overhaul. I’m not sure if or when that might happen. But I can only hope that Bukele will push this forward very soon.

The ATM roll out has been slow due to bugs and also the election. Apparently we should see more updates now, post election.

Thanks for the answers.

Other question: The banks in El Salvador pay interest in dollar deposits?

Not for us. The system is archaic. They fear having their international access removed for AML or other stupid things caused by their system.

Stack #bitcoin it will outpace the interest.

awesome. love it

šŸ™ 😊

How's living there?

We are very happy. Cost of living down. Living standard up.

But that is all relative to us.

The community and project here totally make it worth it.

Lesson #2: BTC wallets; their significant differences. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Unless something has changed recently Chivo is the anti-Christ :(
