I’m proposing to my local Bitcoin meetup that we get booths at local farmers markets.

1. Trojan horse as bitcoin merch and crafts sales

2. Give out free cookies to people but have to use Wallet of Satoshi app and transact. (We would send them the sats)

3. Talk to customers about bitcoin

4. Talk to vendors about accepting bitcoin.

5. Promote our local meetup.

What am I missing? Any experienced plebs out there thinking outside the box like this?

Very cool!

This is what I will be doing 💯

I’m ready to start a small craft business just so I have an excuse to do this 🤣

very cool initiative ⚡

There is a park here where I live and ppl play basketball and it's always always packed ima set up shop there and hopefully on-board a few ppl

#breez has point of sale POS

+1. WoS might not be the best UI for commerce.

I want to do something like this https://www.tiktok.com/@wolkifarm/video/7190966696910294273 but stocking a staff-less shop with food from a range of local suppliers. Sort of like a 24 hour farmer’s market…

Definitely a Trojan horse for bitcoin in there somewhere too. Just sharing in case you’re interested…

That’s great. It will require a trustful community or membership process but it’s great to see these ideas in RL

awesome idea🔥

Also note. We’re considering testing a few lightning wallets as trial and error. Ideally get a sense of the onboarding ease. Not married to WoS custodial.

Open to ideas on Point of Sale pitch for vendors. Any experience there as a vendor I would love to hear it.

when can Current App/wallet join the stress testing? ready tomorrow??

Same. I’m a #bitcoiner new to #lightning and haven’t settled into a wallet and POS solution.

Have you tested Breez? I think #[5]​ could share some insights here.

Jeff - asking about lightning wallets and POS.

You also could be an exchange for fiat to bitcoin at those Farmers market for those who want to pay in bitcoin they pay you and you then fiat pay the farmers it’s a cheap way of stacking sats with no exchange fee

Careful here. That could be money exchange business in most US states and EU countries.

You just popped my bubble my friend wasn’t meant to be an at scale production but your probably right given the government damn

It hurt typing it but I care too much not to

Great idea!

From personal experience

the transaction in #sats (so instantly and quickly with #LN) in combination with the purchase of a product is revealing for someone who has no idea about #bitcoin.

He immediately understands that it is "digital cash"

You could set up 2 stands one across from the other. 😁

One will offer free coffee but with payment only in bitcoin. That's where the #plebchain would be (maybe also a banner 😆)

The other stand will offer free installation of a LN wallet with an initial bonus of as many satoshi as the price of the coffee (it will represent the #developers).

This way, at the next local market you can easily introduce them and #nostr

😂🤪

So the first one gives coffee and satoshis or trades coffee for satoshis?

Fuck #nostr, can't change the post 🤦😆

Fixed

Nice ☕️ 4 ⚡️sir

👏 I like this on so many levels. Low cost. Fun. Community building. Measurable.

⚡️ will take over the market. Make it ⛈️ and share your success!

Blow up your “Follow me on #Nostr” QR code and give the gift of social and financial freedom #bitcoin

🤙🏻

Need a ₿itcoin perfered sign like #[2]

Crypto cloaks sells em!
