Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. 🟠2013 🟣2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

Is the viabtc acceleration service trustworthy? Asking for a friend.

In 2015 I started a project to bring a bitcoin atm to my home town, run workshops, promote merchant adoption, did all sorts. Ended up talking at events like CoinFest, BitBrighton, BitBrum, Datanet Ming Summit, Institute of Directors, Brighton Digital Festival etc. I ran workshops alone and with friends around the UK, did private consultations, got involved with BitStashers, probably one of the first steel plate storage solutions, built mining rigs, mined with ASICS, was part of the first decentralised asset exchange and group mining platform on bitcoin at GetHashing...

And that's just part of it.

I've played my part.

But come 2020 things were changing and notwithstanding the attack of liberty that occured, the loss of a good friend and the loss of everything in a fire pushed me in to a corner and I abandoned my long held dream of moving on to my next project.

Finally, now, after 3 years, I'm able to start building the things I want to see again and contribute my part to the bitcoin community. I've made some progress but, being as I've not done very much coding over the last few years it's slow going.

Doesn't matter though. For the first time in ages I'm feeling the vibe and I'm focused and it's largely thanks to you lot that I'm feeling inspired again. Thank you #nostr peeps 🤙

This looks really interesting and when I can get back in front of my computer I'll check it out

Daughter's on her way down to me. She's bringing her chap with her. Haven't met him before. I'm given to think for a moment how different my life is to my daughter's Grandparents when I first met them. They were warm, welcoming and kind. For fun I'm tempted to just chase the little sod down the street but...I must behave 😄

I don't care about climate change, energy stability is an issue though, if we're to continue living how we do. Nuclear provides what appears to be the best option atm, but the waste issue completely screws it - there needs to be a method for processing and cleaning the waste that scales. Also fukishima.

Standard way I have to organise my day...I live at the whims of mother nature 🤙

It's bliss - best part is my little lady is coming down in a couple of hours 🥳

Good morning old friend may your Sunday be blessed 🤙☕

The whole show is a spectacle - even better in a tiny small venue than on a massive stage

It's a shame but I do wonder if there's a local bitcoin network there - we have communities virtually everywhere now so it would be a surprise

Sod it, this is the last share for now. Only band I've ever flown to go and see. Worth every minute. And what a mad weekend 😂
