This is our local ice cream šŸ¦ motorbike.

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

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. Iā€™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.

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.

Maybe if Bukele allocates time to sort it out. But without his direction. No.
