I know no worries

I just think that it’s better to be a bit more realistic and for them to have a good surprise than feeling like they’ve been lied to and react irrationally

Very interesting video, thank you

but 60% annually with such smooth ride, I mean come on...

No it doesn't

Oh that makes sense then, I have mullvad directly on my phone

Gm ! 🕊️

Did the leak show on the mullvad leak page or did you find it via other means ?

It's activated on my phone yet mullvad didn't find any leak

It's still a work in progress but here's the 'Save in Bitcoin' simulation (DCA) for those interested. There are still few things to tweak and add, like a legend to the charts and maybe a list of all swaps made

GM,

Doing some maintenance, the main instance will be back up soon

If you’re running a public instance feel free to add it to the readme via a PR

I’ll take a look, thanks anyway !

That’s a shame ! What website did you use if you please ?

Proof

Anyone willing to trade a 53.5$ prepaid visa international card (bought today on thebitcoincompany) for 30 000 sats ?

Bought it thinking that I could at the very least buy my groceries but nope, it doesn’t work anywhere here online in Europe and can’t be add to the wallet app on my phone.

I should’ve went with 10$ or even 5$ especially since money is pretty tight right now but I was too trustworthy, 100% my bad

But please make sure that it works in your country !

#Bitcoin #Trade

Thank you ! Yes it’s really amazing, I don’t know what I would do without them

Thankfully, I have a grant in the works with OpenSats although it's a bit complicated as in short, I didn't ask for enough but there might be a solution

I checked what the projects they gave grants to and I really don't think that HRF would sponsor kibō. At least not now, as it seems to "finance" oriented. In the future when there will be more freedom charts and functionalities then I'll apply but right now, it would honestly shock me if they did !

Either way, I really hope that I'll find a way to fund this project without the need for grants. A company paying me a salary to work on this would be absolutely perfect but haven't had any luck with that for now

And thanks to this update kibo.money now works perfectly on it (as a user myself I was eagerly waiting for that update)

Amazing browser from an amazing company 🤙

Thank you for the mention 🤙

Fully agree with this and please note that I thank you and really appreciate your contributions

Thankfully I received enough donations to buy a good server so on that front it’s all good ! I’ll be able to keep it running for years to come as long as I can pay for internet and electricity.

The problem is having enough to survive and what this year taught me is that rely on users’ donations but I’m hopeful it’ll get better

Yes that would be great ! Recurring monthly payments would come a long way as asking every month for donations is tiresome for all parties involved

Doing my best, thank you !

As of today, it has been exactly one year since I started working full time on kibō (formerly Satonomics) 🎈

For those who don't know kibō is mainly an open source Bitcoin Core data extractor and visualizer very similar to Glassnode. Which was created out of frustration with the alternatives which either cost an arm and a leg and are against bitcoin values or are very basic and not very useful. kibō is completely free and open source, even the API is free and limitless to allow anyone to use the service no matter their background.

Here's how it went:

Time flew by very fast and I haven't achieved as much as I would've liked but it doesn't really surprise me as there is a lot to do when working alone on such a project to provide I good experience for as many people as possible.

I've updated the website multiple times, removed the font-end framework and went full bare JS to make it as light and fast as possible.

Improved the self-hosting experience, which I plan to make it even better after finishing with the v0.5.

Added many features, datasets and charts.

And of course, fixed bugs.

You can check the CHANGELOG file in the repo if you want a full list of what changed.

Contributors are welcome !

I love the idea of Nostr but for now at least, being Nostr only really limits your reach and by now I really thought that I'd have more users. While I hate to idea of being on X, I might pull the trigger, if there is no improvement in the near future, to widen it which might help with the next point..

Financially, it's not great. The idea of value 4 value is really compelling but it hasn't really worked for me and I wasn't able to find any kind of partners or sponsors for this project. Many love the project and want it to continue but no one is willing to step in and help it long-term.

I'm very grateful to all who donated which allowed me to buy a proper hardware to provide a better service but it's sadly not nearly enough to make a living.

Here's a breakdown:

I've received around 3,100,000 sats which is around $2,800 in the span of 12 months and the vast majority of it went to be hardware and thanks to very few individuals, but let's assume it didn't it, it would've been around $233 per month.

Thankfully during this time I've also had unemployment benefits after quitting my first job to work on this project (which will end soon and) which helped me survive but also weren't enough. I've been slowly selling sats since November 2023 and haven't stacked since.

It might feel like a rant but it's not, I've would've 100% done it again. I'm being transparent so that others who thought about doing the same, can see how it went for me.

Let's hope that the next 365 days will be better

Thank you for reading
