Now also listed via @Plan β‚Ώ Network 9 more days to go! πŸ™Œ image
As of last night, 65,9% of our target budget reached ✌️ image The official announcement for the Flea Market is also live on our website by now: Join us on the 20th of July at Funk Factory Saigon! Family-friendly and kids are welcome - Bitcoiners building for the future :-) We are also still looking for further "bitcoin-aligned" vendors who are keen to participate - if you have sb in your circles who might be a good fit, be it a small business or just on passionate hobbyist level, get in touch! The booth fees are deliberately kept very low to make participation easy and affordable for everyone :-)
This week we updated our merchant list on our page. Now with a direct integration to @BTC Map - and a (severely) reduced list of "qualified merchants". image As everyone who's tried "orange-pilling merchants" knows - turnover is brutal. Shops close, owners stop bothering... - our static merchant page essentially constantly outdated = just not a reliable guide anymore! As the overhead of maintaining a static and reasonably accurate merchant list became too high, we rather support from here on out the efforts of BTCMap - and so you should you! BTCMap is a free and open source project (FOSS) and fully relies on donations and sponsorship to continue. If you like what they're doing - consider throwing them a few Sats. image We will still keep a "qualified merchant" list around for merchants which have lasted for more than two years at a minimum (which is right now rather thin!). But better a clean short list, than a long wrong list with many outdated listings! Thanks once more for the advice and assistance to Leo Weese and the #BTCMap team who has been dedicating the past couple of years to bring this project to the clean & professional level it is now! πŸ™Œ
The last big community gathering of the year in South East Asia - the Bali crew around @bitcoinhousebali is stepping up once more this September!
