A couple traveling the Panamericana in an expedition truck. Currently in Argentina. If you want to buy us a coffee or a kilometer of diesel when we pass through Central and South America, you can do so here. Any zap for us will be spent at local vendors in Guatemala, El Salvador and any other country where we find people accepting it. Follow us to travel along and we'll post anything we bought over lightning when we’re there. Start here: https://iris.to/post/note1cvhz2czx3znnp3mwp5vaq4d433a05ztz2rwcev0aa42jafsmjndsevf6jm

They are rare but in fact our key would work on all similar trucks…. The army built them with the same key for the ignition… which made sense then. 😂✌️ so if we come across someone else… 😅

Yesterday our truck refused to start after shopping at the Walmart parking lot… as it was getting dark we decided to stay the night and take a look at the problem today.

Today I learned how to short circuit and start our truck. 😂✌️

Old vehicles are awesome. 👌

Welcome. Now you only need to set up your lightning wallet so we can zap to support your campaign. 😁

😂 We'll make an apocalypse BnB... Screw AirBnB... ApoBnB is the next big thing... bookable via Lightning. 😂

Yo, Nostr fam:

1. I can't wait to show off @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl onstage

in Miami & discuss how the project couldn't exist without the open-source community. 🔥

2. But traveling to Miami is expensive! And I'm back to being an unfunded volunteer dev.

🙏Any help to offset the costs would be huge.

Cost breakdown:

* Flight: 1,811,071 sats

* AirBnb: 2,699,571

* Uber/etc: 714,285

TOTAL: ~5.2m sats

Meeting people in person is super-important. The relationships I've formed are invaluable.

I've already committed to upcoming trips to @npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha @npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269

Pacific Bitcoin, and Adopting Bitcoin.

Would love to say yes to as many #bitcoin events as possible.

But traveling to conferences is a rough financial double-whammy: it's the travel expense PLUS I'm usually billing zero fiat contract hours while I'm away.

Punches a HUGE hole in my finances. 💸😭

Last Nov I did a 2.5wk trip to Pacific Bitcoin (LA), Adopting Bitcoin (El Salvador), and then to Bitcoin Commons (Austin). Was totally worth it. Zero regrets.

But holy cow did that drain my fiat reserves. Set me back a couple months.

So in a shittily ironic twist, the more I travel to #bitcoin events, the more time I have to spend away from bitcoin in order to catch up and bill more fiat contract hours.

Which leaves less time and brain power for #FOSS dev.

I've been working on SeedSigner for nearly two years. I am so grateful for the funding that allowed me to work full-time on the project for ~20% of that time.

Any funding at all for #FOSS devs is a blessing. But the reality is that there just ain't a lot of it out there.

Can’t not zap when it comes to travel and bitcoin. ⚡️

Haha yeah I thought about that as well. 😂 wanted them to experience it themselves too tho… 😁

Friends of ours just arrived at #Bitcoin lake… orange-pilled them from the distance, told em to download WoS and zapped some sats over for two coffees. 😂

The pilling continues. 🧡⚡️

GM dudes and dudettes. 🫶

Trying something new this morning.

Let’s see how this tastes. ☕️

In other news: we fixed the water leak. The boiler has a hole somewhere so I excluded it from the system. No warm water but that’s not an issue for now.

Only problem: for some reason all of a sudden one of our two water pumps started leaking.

Now I have to figure out a way how I can replumb the system to also exclude pump 1. sounds easy but the way it was built originally it’s actually not…

Sometimes traveling full time just plain sucks. 🙄

#plebchain #coffeechain #nostravel #nostrlander

We have a diesel floor heater that also heats the boiler. Through a heat exchanger we can use the motor heat to also heat the box through the same circuit. The boiler also can be heated via the AC.

Very cool setup in general, unfortunately the boiler is shit. 🙈

Yeah we’ve heard from a fellow traveler with the same system that it just kept breaking in other places. Seems like the wall is too thin to deal with the shaking… so we’ll probably have someone build us the same thing with a thicker wall.

It seems like on day 3 we’ve finally found and fixed our water leak. The boiler apparently has a hole somewhere… short circuited the warm water circuit and excluded and drained the whole thing. Seems to stay dry now.

No warm water but at 35C (95F) outside that’s something we can currently live with… now we have to find someone who can fix the darn thing somewhere. 🙈

Oh well… life on the road…

#grownostr #plebchain #travel #nostravel

That’s one way to look at it. 🙈😂
