GM if you look at bitcoin, one particular thing is interesting. The hashrate. We’ve passed 1 zetahash, we didn’t just pass it. We’re blasting over it. The amount of buildout is unbelievable. A large nuclear reactor of electricity generation equivalent just spun up in a few weeks. Proof of work done by over a billion chips distributed over millions of machines. Global game theory, global money, decentralized.

This seriously exploded. Not so much here, but our DM's and mailbox was spammed with stickers. Great to see. So we built the following for our fellow dutchies. As you all know the dutch community, with hundreds of locations accepting bitcoin for over a decade, is quite active. So we're going to support it in a special way. You can order a sticker directly with the businesses and people that are actively helping bitcoin adoption locally. We tried to explain the different options for bitcoin payments on a separate page too. We will actively update the page, but you can already order stickers and check how we setup the dutch page. It's only available in dutch as it is created to increase dutch adoption with local sticker shipping. When you click the english language button the homepage excludes the payments tab. In 2021 we shortly had this tab active, we now revived it again to support all the ongoing initiatives.

We want to list (as per request) this sticker on our website. It would be a double sided window sticker, so you can use it as a normal and window sticker. Issue, where is the source file for this logo? Can't find a high quality PDF or SVG ready for print. Anyone has an open source GitHub where the bitcoin stickers can be found so everyone can just print them?

As we exist for four years (one cycle) now, we will post some stuff that was utterly unsuccessful. Our beautiful wrapping paper. On our website we made wrapping paper a possibility to order. Apparently everyone orders stuff for themselves. We basically bought multiple roles of wrapping paper for ourself 😂

It’s 9/11 today. One cycle ago (4 years) @BitcoinBrabant started. At block #700.000. 2 years, half a cycle were given to make it work. It didn’t, conclusion: if you don’t borrow fiat, you keep on losing bitcoin. We do however persist and refuse to borrow fiat. A sovereign bitcoin company is still here, having supplied freedom and inspired tens of thousands of people. “Every person I meet is my superior in some way, in that, I learn”

Our Bitcoin Brabant Node runs StartOS. We simply wanted to bring nodes to the masses at a cheaper price. In agreement with start9 we’re under the DIY instances. Importing these devices from the US while building the same setup ourselves saves. Import tariffs Shipping costs Taxes You basically save a lot of money by not paying additional fiat to the state. If you buy a node with us and are happy with it, contribute to this amazing open source project.

It's nice that Namecheap just sold their most expensive domain name ever with bitcoin. The amazing thing is that they are using BTCPayserver, which means that the payment system is hosted by themselves. This open payment system can be used by anyone and basically makes receiving payments have near zero fees. When looking at large payment receiving entities, accepting bitcoin payments will save significant fees, administrative load and idiotic clawbacks and other retarded stuff such as the data about you that is being sold that exists in the traditional payments world... Bitcoin is a better store of value and medium of exchange already. People just haven't found that out yet.

@pvt_eth We accept payment via btcpay so basically no fees.

Which date do you think this was? We’re currently more than double this hashrate, incredible.

People should understand we only list what we have in stock. Past weeks we had once again major customs holdups shipping 80 @COLDCARD Q's into EU. Thanks to the Coinkite Support team we got them through once again. So finally we have them back in stock... 50 Normal transparent 21 Orange 10 Black Also some additional Opendime in stock.

GM If you can’t verify the transaction on an offline signing device, you’re doing it wrong. If you’re using a coordinator that is Java based, or even worse, web based, you’re doing it wrong.
