While often criticized for its high energy consumption, Bitcoin mining's unique energy demands are actively transforming the energy sector. ab24-52209-electricity-grids-are-adopting-bitcoin Nakamoto Stage /media/ab24/submissions/MW9AYQ/DALLE_2024-06-13_09.55.08_-_An_inspiring_image_showcasing_the_in_iym3sQb.png Pierre Rochard en Bitcoin mining operations act as a flexible load, consuming surplus energy during periods of excess production. This is particularly beneficial for renewable energy sources like wind and solar, which frequently generate more electricity than the grid can utilize at peak times. Instead of wasting this excess energy or relying on costly and inefficient storage solutions, Bitcoin miners absorb the surplus. This dynamic demand is helping to balance energy supply and demand, contributing significantly to overall grid stability. During periods of high demand or low renewable output, Bitcoin miners are scaling down their operations, effectively acting as a "virtual power plant" that reduces consumption and frees up energy for other users. This demand response strategy is crucial for maintaining grid stability, especially during peak load times. Bitcoin mining is also stimulating investment in energy infrastructure by providing a consistent base load demand for power. This is improving the financial viability of power generation projects, encouraging wider deployment and enhancing the energy mix's diversity and sustainability. In Texas, with its independent energy grid (ERCOT) and deregulated energy market, Bitcoin miners are thriving. The convergence of Bitcoin mining and the Texas energy grid is delivering numerous benefits, including grid stabilization through energy consumption during excess production periods and economic growth through increased investment and job creation. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/MW9AYQ/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/MW9AYQ/feedback/ Nakamoto Stage Talk 2024-11-15T11:15:00-06:00 11:15 00:20 ab24-55409-ranking-nation-state-bitcoin-adoption-and-where-el-salvador-sits Nakamoto Stage Luke Broyles en An in depth mathematical look as to what countries are leading the pack when it comes to stacking Bitcoin and nation-state Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin mining is going to revolutionize the economic case for building new nuclear assets big and small, anywhere in the world, that part is obvious to anybody familiar with the power consumption properties of Bitcoin mining. What comes next is even more fascinating. A guaranteed power consumer ensures that enough power for the future can be commissioned in the present with minimal underutilization risks, opening up deployment scenarios that would have been inconceivable.

The Fundamental Role of Money in Trade: Money exists primarily to facilitate trade by solving the "coincidence of wants" problem. In a barter system, trading items like chickens for homes or apples for steak is inefficient due to mismatched values, differing shelf lives, and spoilage risks. Money simplifies this process by providing a universally accepted medium of exchange, allowing for more efficient and scalable trade. Bitcoin, as a form of money, extends this utility into the digital realm, offering a decentralized and secure method for facilitating trade on a global scale. 2. Boomer Retirements and Market Opportunities: As approximately 10,000 baby boomers retire daily, many of their small and medium-sized businesses will not find buyers, leading to significant market gaps.

OSED offers a modular EDGE DERMS platform that leverages customer assets—like electric vehicles and batteries—to provide grid flexibility. By integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network using LNBits, OSED enables real-time rewards in Bitcoin for users who adjust their energy usage. The platform employs open-source tools and supports advanced functions like load coordination and peer-to-peer energy trading. This talk will demonstrate how OSED orchestrates customer assets and incentivizes flexibility, paving the way for more resilient and dynamic energy systems. ab24-55824-revolutionizing-grid-management-leveraging-edge-derms-and-bitcoin-lightning-to-unlock-customer-flexibility Finney Stage Juan Carlos Oviedo Cepeda en OSED is a platform that offers a highly modular EDGE DERMS for utilities. OSED allows the deployment of custom grid functions that fulfill local grid needs. The grid functions tackle well known grid problems as the power peaks produced either in normal conditions or after electricity cuts (using direct load control or demand response incentives). The grid functions could be rewarded using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Thus, whenever the utility requires flexibility that users can provide (for example, discharging electric batteries or electric vehicles or simply reducing their consumption), the users could be paid directly in Bitcoin for their contributions to the grid needs. Moreover, OSED supports advanced grid functions like the coordination of controllable loads (like Electric Vehicle recharge) or even local flexibility markets that can run as well using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. So, not only users can sell electricity back to the grid (either megawatts or negawatts) but they can also trade energy among themselves using bitcoin.

It's such an outdated cliche, but as of today it's something most people around the world still believe.

While they are price differentials for different coffee qualities and origins, in general coffee worldwide is priced as a commodity. Most people worldwide don't realize coffee is a fruit, a bright cherry of a tropical tree which seeds we dry, process, roast and grind to produce a beverage most of us consume worldwide. After water and tea it's the most consumed drink by humans worldwide. I've always (half) jokingly said that everything in the planet has experienced inflation, but green coffee. A product that takes one year to make, and the riskiest part of the entire chain, with the least reward. Disease, plagues, floods, droughts, internal and external market forces have pushed the growers of this plant to economic hardship and poverty. Adjusted for inflation the price for green arabica coffee is under 1990 levels, and way below its 1977 peak. Even not adjusting for inflation, in nominal dollar terms green coffee was worth more 50 years ago than it is today and the dollar is not even close to being worth the same today than it was in 1977. In El Salvador, and basically all producing countries, for the past 150 years there hasn't been a way to export roasted coffee direct to distributor or direct to consumer. Bitcoin has allowed us to break this paradigm and today Good Beans is one of a handful coffee businesses in the planet selling coffee direct to consumer from the origin to the door allowing all the profits from the chain to stay where coffee is grown while maintaining a competitive price for the consumer.

As institutional money and Wall Street have understood Bitcoin, this asset class keeps gaining attention from regulators and gov treasurers. Seems Bitcoin is winning the fight after just a few cycles after its inception. So, how should Bitcoin be treated from a legal stand point? Bitcoin white paper is a great base line to start. Peer to peer electronic cash system needs to keep the right to self-custody up high. Transactions in economic systems and governance mechanisms are to be ruled under the Bitcoin Standard. These ideas come as a great new area for intervention in the legal field. What can lawyers and regulators learn from the Bitcoin Standard?

More and more, it has been seen that people come to Nostr because they are interested in contributing to the decentralized communication protocol (whether as a developer or creator), and that serves as their first introduction to the power of Bitcoin, very easily receiving sats for simply posting a meme, being vulnerable about their personal lives, or building out a new app. There are also more emergent use cases sprouting, from musicians being paid more in sats over Nostr than they ever make from Spotify streams to merchants who otherwise couldn't get set up online because of bank account or KYC requirements that can now sell their items to a global audience and not even have to download a wallet or know how Bitcoin works.

Satoshi was a visionary who planted trees so that future generations could enjoy their fruits, and his vision represents the essence of our project. Like him, we believe in the power of technology to transform the world and create a freer, more prosperous, and equitable future. Peter Diamandis says that "Abundance does not consist of providing all inhabitants of this planet with a life of luxury, but of providing everyone with a life of possibilities. Technology is a resource-liberating mechanism that can make what was once scarce abundant now." We find technology and all that can be achieved with it fascinating. Technology is a double-edged sword that can be used for good or for evil. That is what took us to do things like the 2084 - Make Orwell Fiction Again podcast. Along the way, came Bitcoin and it turned into an obession because of its liberating force. A few months ago, while having breakfast outside the Bitcoin Park in Nashville, we realized that this space was needed in Mexico City. At La Casa de Satoshi CDMX, you will find a vibrant ecosystem where you can explore and learn about the technologies that are transforming the way we live, work, and relate to each other. Bitcoin, Lightning Network, Artificial Intelligence, Nostr, innovations in energy, robotics, among others, are just some of the technologies for freedom that will have their home here in this building. At Adopting Bitcoin 2024, we will host a workshop to teach our learnings and inspire other bitcoiners to do the same thing in their hometown! false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/H3MEGV/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/H3MEGV/feedback/ Chaum Stage Talk 2024-11-15T18:15:00-06:00 18:15 00:30 I've travelled to 19 countries over the past 3 years living on a Bitcoin standard, and this experience has helped me write my second book: The Digital Renaissance Man ab24-53279-the-digital-renaissance-men-are-exploiting-these-3-exponential-cycles Chaum Stage Luke Mikic en Bitcoiners have the potential to be the digital renaissance men of the 21st century. BUT... There is more to being fully sovereign than simply holding Bitcoin... This is what many of the Bitcoin educators who are spinning up Bitcoin peer to peer communities understand well. There are three exponential trends emerging in the world today that all dovetail along the same theme of trust, or should I say, mistrust. Digital nomads are seeking geographical sovereignty because they don’t trust their government is spending their taxes effectively, or improving the country. Bitcoiners are seeking financial sovereignty because they don’t trust their government is managing their national money effectively. Digital entrepreneurs are seeking cash flow sovereignty because they don’t trust their government to label them as ‘’unessential,’’ or get fired because of their politics.

As action-driven podcasters, we believe in the power of dialogue and engagement to drive meaningful content creation. This 30-minute interactive session will invite the audience, both in-person and through live chat, to share their thoughts on the topics they wish to see explored in Bitcoin podcasts and conferences, and which ones have become over-discussed. With this open informal exchange, we hope to contribute to elevate the quality of conversations in the Bitcoin space, attract more participants, and close the knowledge gap between more established Bitcoiners and newcomers. Ultimately, our goal is to create a more welcoming and informed Bitcoin community where everyone feels heard and empowered to contribute. ab24-55529-engage-and-mainstream-bitcoin-with-all-in-bitcoin-with-ck Zimmerman Stage CKJay en INTRODUCTION The conversations shaping the Bitcoin space are driven by the community. As podcasters focused on practical content, we see ourselves as facilitators of these discussions. This session will give the Bitcoin community a platform to voice their opinions on desired content, overdiscussed topics and key issues. WHY THIS MATTERS -Community-Focused Content Creation: Content creation often relies on assumptions about what the audience wants. By directly engaging with our audience, we can ensure our podcasts, and conference topics align with their interests and needs. -Elevating the Quality of Bitcoin Discussions: Many attendees at Bitcoin conferences often find themselves hearing the same content. Our session will identify over-discussed themes, allowing us to shift focus to fresher, more relevant topics that add real value. -Closing the Knowledge Gap: There's a clear gap between experienced Bitcoiners and newcomers, making the space intimidating for beginners. By understanding new learners' needs, we can create more accessible content, onboarding more people and fostering a welcoming environment. INTERACTIVE SESSION 20¨ -Audience Polling -Open Discussion -Brainstorming Future Content WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE -Tailored Content for the Bitcoin Community -Improved Conference Experiences -Onboarding New Bitcoiners FINAL THOUGHTS This session it’s about building a stronger, more connected Bitcoin community. By ensuring every voice is heard, we can shape the future of Bitcoin discussions to be more relevant, welcoming, and action-oriented. By the end, we aim to have gathered valuable insights and inspired our audience to actively shape the conversations that define Bitcoin's future. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/YRBENW/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/YRBENW/feedback/ Zimmermann Stage Talk 2024-11-15T10:45:00-06:00 10:45 00:30 "The Paradox of Free: Confronting Challenges in Bitcoin Education" explores the inherent contradictions faced when offering free and open-source Bitcoin education. While the idea of making education freely accessible aligns with the principles of freedom and inclusivity, it also presents significant challenges. These include the difficulty of motivating top talent without financial incentives and overcoming the perception that free resources lack value. This talk delves into these obstacles, examining how the paradox of "free" can hinder the effectiveness of Bitcoin education and discussing strategies to confront and overcome these challenges. Join us to explore how we can make free and open-source Bitcoin education both impactful and sustainable. ab24-55626-the-paradox-of-free-confronting-challenges-in-free-bitcoin-education Zimmerman Stage Scott Lindberg en Bitcoiners cherish free and open-source, and for good reason, as it’s the foundation of freedom tech. However, we risk creating an ideal standard which is difficult to execute in practice. Free and open-source education (FOSE) may not be as sexy as free and open-source software (FOSS), but it’s just as significant. Join this session to explore FOSE challenges, e.g., awareness and funding, and possible solutions. Creating and sharing value isn’t free. Someone must invest time, knowledge, energy and money. It’s a modern free rider problem. When everyone uses something for free, no one has incentive to contribute. The FOSS ecosystem is addressing this risk by funding Bitcoin and Nostr developers. Unfortunately, freedom tech is irrelevant to those who don’t know they need it. Educators address this and bring people into the space. Today, fiat-minded and crypto-minded people have the upper hand in education with money and institutionalized power, i.e., regulations, school administrators. They are over-riding freedom-minded people and parents. This session covers: 1. Urgency: This is a war of communication and we’re late, e.g., CBDC materials are already in schools. 2. Benefits of FOSE: Removing frictions of education. Allowing people to collaborate and share knowledge. 3. Challenges of FOSE: Attracting top talent with appropriate incentives. Creating high quality content. Marketing to raise awareness. Addressing noise and FUD. 4.

When I left AB2023, I knew it had to be in El Salvador. Two weeks after the conference, my friends and I pooled our Bitcoin together and bought a 3-acre field in a farming community 2 km inland from El Tunco! That’s a lot of land, so this won’t be your regular hostel. We have plans to build a bouldering-cross-MMA gym, natural spa, restaurant, bar, dance floor, vegetable gardens, and a fruit orchard. All the good stuff. We will build in order of priority, depending on the purchasing power of Bitcoin at any given time. Since the purchase, we’ve built a 60 sqm semi-enclosed workshop which served as our house for the winter. As the project develops, we will use this space as a classroom. In addition to creating meaningful employment and useful facilities, we feel that offering Bitcoin classes is the most effective method of achieving our goal in the community. For the construction work we have completed so far, we paid wages in dollars but shared a tip using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Until we provide more Bitcoin education, I don’t think it’s prudent to force Bitcoin on people. Long-term, we aim to pay all wages using Bitcoin to people who understand what they are earning. Our target market will be regular backpackers and sports enthusiasts. I know how off-putting the B word is for normies. Thus, we will orange-pill subtly, leading by example. Of course, there will be a fiat premium when paying for our services.

He dreams of building a brighter future, but as he grows, the very system he serves betrays him. Disillusioned, he vows to tear it down. As his struggle deepens, despair threatens to consume him—until an ethereal vision offers redemption, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. Guided by this divine encounter, he rediscovers the inherent goodness of nature and sets out to empower humanity through self-sovereignty. He meets a woman who shares his vision, and together they form a powerful bond. Working in secret, they strip away the unnecessary, striving to create a tool of immense civilizational power.

I argue that understanding the value of exchange is essential to grasp the monumental impact that Bitcoin will have on the future of the human species. I use Austrian Economics as a theoretical framework to navigate this topic. "The Value of Exchange" is a talk that explores how exchange drives our evolution over time and how it is a core principle in all major cultures, religions, and societies. It shows that exchange transcends the material and extends beyond time. ab24-54697-the-value-of-exchange Mises Stage Charlie Stevens en The talk will begin with an overview of my philosophical stance on exchange and how different religions and societies have viewed this concept throughout history. I will use Austrian Economics as the theoretical framework to understand the human decision-making process behind the act of exchange—specifically, how individuals assess the value of the property they own and the value they anticipate acquiring when they receive new property from another party. This involves evaluating the future utility they expect to gain from the new property and the future value they forgo by relinquishing their current property. By delving into the intricacies of this decision-making process, we uncover what truly matters when we exchange. I will try to showcase how understanding what we give up and what we gain is crucial to making informed, logical decisions. Today, most of the world exchanges their property and time for something (fiat) that is both undefined and rapidly decaying in terms of future human utility. This undermines the fabric of society, as the specialization of labor—a key driver of progress—crumbles in direct proportion to our ignorance of what we are trading our time and energy for. The rate at which we exchange and the soundness of the medium we use for exchange dictate the purity of our interactions and the pace at which we build a sound and prosperous society. After exploring the principles of exchange, I will move on to practical solutions for moving forward as the world transitions from debasing money to sound money on a global scale. Using Bitcoin as the base medium of exchange will restore logic to the world, allowing nature to heal the wounds inflicted by our attempts to manipulate it. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/WUWUPQ/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/WUWUPQ/feedback/ Mises Stage Talk 2024-11-15T14:50:00-06:00 14:50 00:30 Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system designed as a decentralized form of money devoid of central banking control. Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block clearly articulated this vision. However, Bitcoin's adoption as a functional currency remains limited, and its potential to enable freedom for everyday people has not been realized. The paper examines the challenges and prospects in engaging key stakeholders to unlock Bitcoin's true purpose and full potential. The current landscape shows a gap between Bitcoin's promise and its practical use. There is a lack of cognition among the media, academia, business, and retail. Bridging the gap requires greater awareness and collaboration with these players to shape public perception and drive acceptance. Also, devising alternative systems and communities is vital to proving Bitcoin's usable benefits. Initiatives like Bitcoin circular economies show how localized ecosystems can thrive using Bitcoin. ab24-52995-engaging-key-stakeholders-and-innovating-alternatives-to-unleash-bitcoin-s-true-purpose-and-full-potential Mises Stage Afrikanus Kofi Akosah Adusei (Frisco d'Anconia) en Bitcoin was designed as a p2p electronic cash system to be used as a decentralized form of money, free from central banking control. Satoshi Nakamoto's message embedded in the Genesis Block clearly stated this vision. Yet, nearly 15 years later, Bitcoin's adoption as a functional currency remains limited, and its potential to enable freedom for everyday people has not been realized. This paper explores the challenges and possibilities of engaging key stakeholders to unlock Bitcoin's true purpose and full potential. The current landscape reveals a notable gap between Bitcoin's revolutionary promise and its practical use in everyday transactions. The barrier to the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin is a lack of understanding among vital actors in media, academia, business, and the retail sectors. In bridging this gap, it is crucial to foster greater cognition and collaboration with these stakeholders, who have the power to shape public perception and drive widespread acceptance. In addition, developing alternative systems and communities is vital to demonstrating Bitcoin's practical use cases and benefits. Initiatives such as Bitcoin circular economies exemplify how localized, self-sustaining ecosystems can thrive using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. These models highlight Bitcoin's utility and serve as blueprints for broader implementation. This paper advocates for a dual approach: first, engaging and educating key stakeholders about Bitcoin's foundational purpose to spur mass adoption; second, promoting the development of alternative economic systems that leverage Bitcoin's decentralized nature. By harnessing the collective impact of mainstream actors and pioneering innovative community models, we can fulfill Bitcoin's original vision and empower individuals globally. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/RVHXPP/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/RVHXPP/feedback/ Mises Stage Fireside Chat 2024-11-15T15:20:00-06:00 15:20 00:20 ab24-57520-bitcoin-mansion-investing-in-el-salvador Mises Stage Eddie MentoreJulian Ducheine en Eddie Mentore & Julian Ducheine We would like to showcase our commitment to leveraging Bitcoin in the real estate and investment sectors.

Reimagined as Prometheus, Bitcoin is a force challenging centralized control and empowering autonomy. Through Greek mythology, evolutionary astrology (a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth), the presentation explores Bitcoin's alignment with the archetypes of Aquarius/Uranus/Prometheus, symbols of disruption, awakening, and enlightenment. Contrary to Michael Saylor's view, which likens Satoshi Nakamoto to Prometheus and Bitcoin to the stolen fire, this keynote suggests Bitcoin itself is the Promethean fire within all humans, transforming society and guiding us from economic oppression to self-sovereignty. Prometheus, as a Titan on Earth, aligns more closely with humanity than the gods of Olympus, while Satoshi remains in a more distant, almost mythical realm. ab24-55580-bitcoin-as-the-promethean-quest-for-individuation-and-liberation Finney Stage /media/ab24/submissions/FBLCZ7/MBRAVO_Bitcoin_Promethean_Quest.001_5yp33as.jpeg monika bravo en Prometheus steals the potential of consciousness from the gods… the divine spark of immortality, of awareness of the Self, which exists within each human being." —Liz Greene. This keynote presents Bitcoin as a transformative force, igniting the divine spark within each individual. Beyond being a financial tool, Bitcoin symbolizes awakening, self-sovereignty, and serves as a catalyst for profound societal change. Drawing on mythological frameworks, the presentation parallels Bitcoin with Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” likening it to a guiding force leading humanity from economic oppression to enlightenment. I will also delve into Bitcoin's "Genesis Chart," sharing my observation that many Bitcoiners have a strong Aquarian, Uranian, Promethean archetype present in their astrological charts. This resonance with the archetypal energy of Uranus, associated with long-term memory, creates a fractal wave that enables deep, intuitive remembering. Structured into three parts, it examines mythological narratives, historical cycles, and practical applications of Promethean’s principles, emphasizing true liberation through overcoming generational trauma and cultivating a new civilization. With significant astrological shifts anticipated in 2025, the presentation compares these to previous cycles—like the end of the Crusades, the Reformation, and revolutionary wars—and aligns them with the current Fourth Turning, highlighting the potential for profound change. Bitcoin embodies the Promethean spirit, revolutionizing and reconstructing civilization on foundational principles. I aim to reframe its role as a dynamic force for human evolution, encouraging individuals to transcend suffering and embrace a more enlightened, creative nature. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/FBLCZ7/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/FBLCZ7/feedback/ Finney Stage Talk 2024-11-16T13:40:00-06:00 13:40 00:30 In this talk we introduce NWC & what issues it solves.

As Pedagogical Lead for the event, I have been designing interactive worships using cooperative learning for a ground-breaking event this September in Victoria, BC. In collaboration with a small team of volunteers and missionaries, we will be piloting the first ever Bitcoin event focused purely on educating pre-coiners to Bitcoin. There will be beginnner-level workshops focused on interactive learning and understanding the key concepts of Bitcoin in a accessible and engaging way. My proposal for my Adopting Bitcoin talk/panel/workshop is to review these activities and Learning Bitcoin as an opportunity to discuss Bitcoin Education at large. My talk will cover a history of Bitcoin education, a review of the Learning Bitcoin event, and a look forward to the future of Bitcoin Education and the challenges that lie ahead. As a qualified teacher, I will overlay key concepts from pedagogy theory over Bitcoin learning patterns, to see if the on-boarding of Bitcoiners can be improved and accelerated. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/JWJZVM/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/JWJZVM/feedback/ Chaum Stage Workshop 2024-11-16T10:35:00-06:00 10:35 00:30 Self-custody is a fundamental principle when dealing with Bitcoin, and hardware wallets have become established as the most popular solution to secure coins while (somewhat) maintaining their accessibility. Thus it is important to highlight common pitfalls that erode the security of the setup, or increase the risk of losing the funds by accident. Instead of talking about theory only, creating a real setup with a BitBox02 hardware wallet will give workshop participants a better grasp on how general important self-custody best practices can be implemented in the real world. ab24-55599-secure-coin-self-custody-using-a-bitbox02 Chaum Stage Nicola Susca en Content: - Important fundamental concepts of modern bitcoin wallets. - Practical example setting up a simple cold storage wallet using a BitBox02. - Common misconceptions and pitfalls. - Using miniscript for inheritance. - Questions. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/8D9SZM/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/8D9SZM/feedback/ Chaum Stage Talk 2024-11-16T11:05:00-06:00 11:05 00:45 LightingPiggy is an electronic cash piggy bank for children, that accepts bitcoin sent over lightning while displaying the amount saved in satoshis.

That’s a lot of people being brought up and educated, outside of El Salvador, to save with traditional currencies that are rapidly loosing value over time. Children approaching adulthood today, over the course of the last seven years since the tooth fairy visited, will have typically lost at least 98% of their purchasing power compared to bitcoin. We’ve been conditioned to save, exchange, account, think and work on the fiat standard and in fiat terms. It’s time to change that.

Our goal is to inject more Bitcoin into the local Roatán economy by distributing satoshis (sats) to teenagers based on their "proof of learning." Each month, the sats mined by the machine we have in our mining farm in Paraguay are divided among the most proactive kids on Roatán, as determined by their learning achievements on the Yzer app. This is how the idea of Miners4Kids was born. To achieve this, we aimed to involve both the Bitcoin community and the local Roatán community by encouraging them to crowdfund the electricity needed for a miner. Once the electricity for a particular month is covered, all the Bitcoin mined during that month is donated directly to the kids on Roatán. We utilize Braiins pool with its Lightning Network (LN) withdrawal option to make payments affordable and Blink Batch payments to distribute the sats to the kids. AmityAge has donated an S19XP hydro miner, which is mining Bitcoin directly for the kids on Roatán. The mining operation account is transparent and verifiable by the community. 100% of the mining rewards are split among the 30 most active kids on the Yzer app each month. This sats are divided proportionally to their earned XP points to incentivize competition. This way, we believe we can inject more Bitcoin into the community and jumpstart a circular economy. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/UAPVDG/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/UAPVDG/feedback/ Chaum Stage Workshop 2024-11-16T12:35:00-06:00 12:35 00:45 Sit down with The Bitcoin Hardware Store - we'll answer your questions and show you how to initialize your first Bitcoin Miner (Bitaxe). ab24-54823-initializing-your-first-bitcoin-miner-bitaxe Chaum Stage /media/ab24/submissions/AAQ8HQ/Bitcoin-Merch-Bitaxe-401-Supra-Bitcoin-Miner-600GH-s_92b1ad19-a_VerAPX0.jpeg Jamie Robinson en When focused only on profit, Bitcoin Mining is left out of Bitcoin onboarding and handled by the pros.

Initially designed as experimental environments, sidechains allow developers to test and implement changes to the Bitcoin protocol while retaining Bitcoin as the native currency. Unlike traditional testnets, sidechains provide real economic incentives, making them a valuable tool for identifying vulnerabilities and testing innovative technologies. Sidechains can be vaguely defined as any new blockchain network which depends on the Bitcoin network and can therefore not function independently of Bitcoin. The first Bitcoin sidechains were initially introduced as a form of sandbox for experimenting with potential changes to the Bitcoin network while maintaining Bitcoin as a native currency. This use-case somewhat overlaps with Bitcoin testnets, but can have better incentives for the purpose of testing and finding exploits in experimental technologies due to the real economic value of the sidechain in contrast to testnets. Sidechains have also been described as a potential solution for scaling Bitcoin payments, especially before the advent of the Lightning Network, although the trust and security tradeoffs implied for this use-case are generally worse than using BTC on the mainchain or on the Lightning Network, and perhaps even more importantly, network effects of Pegged Bitcoin on Sidechains are separate from and in some sense competing with those of the Lightning Network. false https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/RRTFAQ/ https://pretalx.com/ab24/talk/RRTFAQ/feedback/ Chaum Stage Workshop 2024-11-16T16:40:00-06:00 16:40 00:40 Nostr is simple yet powerful protocol for creating and relaying cryptographically secure message. One of the most important features of the data structure used in a Nostr Note is the ability for it to self-validate both the content and the author of the message. This allows for data structures to be relayed and stored without relying on a centralized server for validation and authorization of data. If used in conjunction with a local-first architecture, Nostr can allow users to retain control of their data, and expose only the fragments of data that they wish to share with others, as well as the ability to store and backup the data in a distributed fashion. ab24-54730-the-power-of-local-first-nostr Chaum Stage /media/ab24/submissions/MDEPWC/illuminodes_log_and_name_negative_trans_esArzZc.png 42pupusas en Workshop Goals The goal of this workshop is to provide a hands-on experience with the Nostr protocol, and to demonstrate how it can be used to create both public and private data structures that can be shared and validated by others, and how to securely share those data structures with others.

However, since 2023, we’ve been on a relentless journey to empower Indonesia through Bitcoin, providing people with the knowledge and tools to overcome financial repression. In my talk, I will share our story of how we grew the local Bitcoin community against all odds. With our non-profit initiative, Bitcoin Indonesia, we now host over 20 monthly meetups across the country, we hold presentations at schools and universities, run regular workshops, are the MFB Lightnode of Indonesia, and offer free education to local people daily. Additionally, we opened the Bitcoin House Bali, a physical education center and community hub. This house serves as an epicenter for bringing Bitcoin to the people and as a blueprint for circular economies in Indonesia. I'll discuss our closed-loop system, a legal alternative to showcase Bitcoin usage on a daily basis, similar to a circular economy. I will reveal how it operates and how other communities can implement similar strategies to navigate challenging legal environments. In Indonesia, where 77% of the population is unbanked or underbanked and struggle with inflation, censorship, and other social and financial challenges, Bitcoin offers a way out.

Like El Salvador, Malawi is a small, densely populated and mostly unheard of agricultural nation. It is also one of the world’s poorest nations and, with an election next year, is in desperate need of ‘New Ideas’. Bitcoin Boma was founded to educate on and advocate for bitcoin in a country where the currency can be devalued by 44% overnight, savings interest rates are capped at 4% and dollars are scarce and highly regulated. I have lived there for the past ten years and founded a business to help companies succeed in this challenging environment. In this talk, I will share my experiences of this beautiful and peaceful country and my realisation that the donors who pump in billions of funding miss the underlying cause of the poverty trap - fiat money. Through Bitcoin Boma our aim is for bitcoin to fix this and for Malawi to be an example to the rest of Africa as El Salvador is to Latin America. ab24-55437-notes-from-a-small-country-in-africa Mises Stage /media/ab24/submissions/D3TMDC/BitcoinBoma_Logo_AjYe5uB.jpg Ian FosterNick Twyman en Malawi is a small, densely populated and mostly unheard of agricultural nation. Sounds familiar? There are no volcanoes, but a third of the country is a lake and 95% of its power comes from hydro. There’s also a small bitcoin mining operation thanks to Gridless that lights up a remote village in a country where only 15% of people have electricity. When I moved to Malawi in 2014 the local Kwacha currency was about 450 to the dollar and is now closing in on 2,500. Last November the central bank devalued by 44% overnight. Meanwhile it caps interest rates on savings at 4% but says inflation is 40%. Unsurprisingly, nobody saves in money and dollars are scarce and highly regulated. So even the staple food maize becomes monetised, a better store of value than the Kwacha. In town, people store value in land, bricks and mortar, pushing prices ever higher. In rural areas, livestock is preferred, with goats outnumbering adults. But this ‘store of value’ eats everything and so new trees never grow to replace those felled for making bricks and charcoal. This leaves poor soils and no defence against storms, a disaster in a country where 85% of people depend on agriculture for survival. It's an endless cycle of poverty with fiat money being the root of it all. In search of an answer, donors have dumped billions of dollars on the country with questionable results, but it may be that an anonymous coder provides the real solution. I co-founded Bitcoin Boma with Grant Gombwa and Nick Twyman as a means of stirring up grassroots bitcoin adoption and influencing policy towards sound money.
