Planned Donation Distribution for Flood and Landslide Disaster Victims in Aceh — Phase 4

Tomorrow afternoon (Friday), we will depart for Uning Mas Village, Bener Meriah, Aceh Province. Parts of this village were wiped out by landslides. Homes were destroyed, and residents lost everything.

We will bring aid in the form of school supplies for children, basic cooking equipment, and fuel for the displaced villagers.

We hope this assistance, even if modest, can help ease their burden as they continue rebuilding their lives after being affected by floods and landslides.

Thank you, #plebs, for your sats donations. 🙏

This time, I need your help, Bitcoiners.

Plebs, you may have already heard about the floods and landslides that struck Sumatra, Indonesia, on November 26, 2025. The three provinces most affected were West Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Aceh.

Aceh, where I was born, also suffered a major disaster 21 years ago—the earthquake and tsunami. But now, Aceh has once again been struck by tragedy. This time it was not an earthquake or a tsunami, but floods and landslides. Even worse, floodwaters rushing down from the highlands carried millions of logs, smashing into homes along riverbanks and hilly areas.

As a Bitcoiner, I am deeply saddened to see my country like this—people losing their families, their homes and land destroyed, and their belongings swept away by the floods. This ecological disaster has claimed 1,069 lives, and the number will continue to rise, as many bodies are still buried under flood debris and landslides.

What is most heartbreaking is how slow our government has been in handling this disaster. Local governments, including the governor, have been unable to respond quickly due to very limited resources.

You may have also heard that several international media outlets have reported on how absurd and slow the Indonesian government has been in responding to this disaster, showing clear incompetence in managing the crisis.

Since the very first day, victims have demanded that the Indonesian government declare the affected areas a national disaster, so that international aid can enter—just as it did after the Aceh tsunami on December 26, 2004. Thanks to foreign aid, Aceh recovered much faster back then.

However, President Prabowo Subianto (that despicable leader) has selfishly refused to declare a national disaster. A man who was proven to have committed human rights violations during the Suharto regime now claims, in front of national media, that he is capable of handling this disaster. In reality, he has proven completely incapable.

I am furious and filled with hatred—there are no insults harsh enough for him. Recently, credible data has circulated showing that Prabowo owns palm oil companies, with thousands of hectares of plantations in the mountains of Sumatra. Forests have been cleared and replaced with palm oil plantations. This environmental destruction is what led to this tragic disaster.

Until now—25 days after the disaster, as I write this—recovery efforts have been carried out almost entirely by volunteers from various regions, working independently. The government’s role has been minimal, and when present, it is far from proportional to the vast resources they possess. Government aid has been scarce and slow. At this point, the only hope lies with independent volunteers from within and outside the region, though their impact remains limited.

The current situation is still filled with fear and trauma, as people worry that heavy rains may strike again at any moment. Victims want to return home from evacuation shelters, but a major problem remains. Homes near rivers are no longer habitable, buried under thick layers of sediment left by the floods. You can see these conditions in the attached photos.

A few days after this ecological disaster, I had the idea to open a special donation fund for Bitcoiners. However, I was afraid I would not be able to fully account for the funds. After all, I am nobody—just a Bitcoiner from a small region. I know trust is the biggest issue, so at first, I remained silent.

But today, I have no other choice. Seeing the dire situation of the victims, combined with my frustration toward an incompetent government, I have decided to open and accept Bitcoin donations, or even just a few sats, from fellow Bitcoiners here on Nostr. We know that Bitcoin is not only for storing wealth, but also for humanity.

I have discussed this with fellow Bitcoiners here in Aceh. If donations are received, I will convert the sats into rupiah to purchase equipment needed to clean homes buried in mud and to repair houses after the floods, so that victims can return to their homes. Our focus is post-disaster rebuilding.

The needed equipment includes hoes, chainsaws, shovels, tall rubber boots for mud, wheelbarrows, and other tools according to the needs of the affected villages.

I am nobody—just an ordinary Bitcoiner with a small amount of Bitcoin in a hot wallet, living in a country that is constantly struck by disasters. Doubts about trust are understandable, and this message may not even be read by many people. At the very least, this is a small effort I can make to help the victims after the disaster, with support from the beloved Bitcoin community.

If you wish to donate, any amount of sats is welcome. I will be accountable here. If you have suggestions or ideas, I would be happy to receive them. All aid will be distributed directly to the affected areas, with reports made as transparently as possible. Thank you.

Below are several international media reports on the ecological disaster in Sumatra and Aceh. Perhaps these can prove that I am not joking. As a Bitcoiner, I uphold honesty and transparency. Don’t trust, verify.

1. ‘Everything destroyed’ as Indonesia’s Aceh grapples with disease after floods

Conversion of Bitcoin Donations to Fiat IDR — Phase 03

Total donations collected: 1,179,214 sats (Wednesday, January 7, 2026)

Amount credited to the bank account after selling: IDR 18,250,754 (1,174,195 sats)

Bitcoin price at the time of sale:

IDR 1,560,120,000 (USD 92,520)

Previous IDR balance + new IDR deposit:

IDR 201,209 + IDR 18,250,754 = IDR 18,451,945

Total donation funds available in Rupiah for purchasing supplies and further distribution: IDR 18,451,945

Current remaining donation balance: 5,019 sats

All figures above (except the total donations collected) are net amounts after on-chain fees, Lightning Network fees, selling fees, and withdrawal fees.

Detailed fee breakdowns are available in the attached screenshots.

Next, the donations in fiat Rupiah will be used to purchase necessities and distributed to disaster-affected victims in Bener Meriah Regency and Central Aceh Regency.

Proof of Work (PoW) for the distribution and further update reports will follow. Apart from team meal expenses (5 people) during the trip and vehicle fuel costs, all donations will be fully distributed to victims of ecological disasters in Aceh.

Plebs, thank you for your sats donations. 🙏

PoW: Delivering Aid to Flood Victims in Aceh Tamiang (Phase 03)

My team and I (a total of five people) distributed equipment to help clean mud left behind by the floods to victims affected by the ecological disaster. The cleaning tools included shovels, hoes, and boots.

In addition to cleaning equipment, we also distributed household necessities for evacuees, such as sarongs, mosquito nets, prayer mats, and mukenas.

I purchased 15 units of each item, adjusted to the amount of donations received. The donations were distributed in Matang Teupah Village, Bendahara Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh, Indonesia.

The aid was received directly by one of the affected victims named Zakaria Adnan, whom I call Jack. He shared many painful experiences from when the disaster happened.

“At first, the floodwater reached our knees, but the rain didn’t stop for days. Before the water submerged our house, I evacuated first, bringing my wife and children to higher ground.”

“Unfortunately, there was no place left that wasn’t flooded, because all the land was submerged. When we slept, the ground beneath us was water. After a week, the water receded, and I returned home to find my house and everything inside covered in mud.”

“During the flood, there was a corpse floating right in front of me. The strong current made it impossible for me to evacuate it. It was heartbreaking—we ate whatever the water carried to us, and we lived 28 days without electricity.”

I entrusted the aid to Jack’s house, and he will then distribute it to other victims according to the evacuees’ needs.

“I am very grateful to the Bitcoin donors. This aid is extremely valuable and truly needed by the victims to rebuild their lives,” Jack said with a happy expression.

I asked him about the weather, which is still bad, with frequent heavy rain, and whether he is afraid that another flood might come.

“Of course, when it rains, we can’t sleep comfortably. The fear is always there. I will evacuate again and leave everything behind. I hope the flood disaster will not happen again,” he said.
