Hey everyone,
Last May was such a blast—I organized the @nprofile…y6fq event at Chazzz, a fantastic Antillean restaurant, just one day before co-hosting the @nprofile…62u8 conference in Arnhem. Those days were full of energy and great memories.
Fast forward to now, a year later, and Chazzz is going through a tough time after a recent kitchen fire. Despite this setback, the place is still as vibrant and full of heart. If you can spare a few sats, please consider donating via their @nprofile…lfqf Lightning address: chazzz@blink.sv to help them rebuild and get back on track.
I’ve attached some photos and a news article for more details. Let’s come together and show Chazzz some love during this challenging time!

I just got back from an epic four-week adventure in South Africa, where I not only soaked in the stunning landscapes with my family but also filmed a video series at @nprofile…8lcc for @nprofile…3sa0 . I had some laid-back, no-BS chats with awesome folks in the Bitcoin & Lightning space about global adoption, the hurdles ahead, and which developments might be game-changers.
The video series includes bitcoiners like:
• Noelyne Sumba – @nprofile…55d9
• Josef Tetek – @nprofile…u5l6
• Khushboo Khullar – @nprofile…73rz
• Naomi Wambui @nprofile…kuc0
• Nathan Day – @nprofile…ek9r
• Jason – @nprofile…3zsp
• Felix Mukungu – @nprofile…prmc
And many more
If you’re curious to dive into some honest conversations and see the real insights from @nprofile…62u8 Cape Town, check out the full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkal4Wz1OYwd52IlXmScFDVAM7UYu7ia2 I’d love to hear what you think—let’s keep the conversation going!

Artist Announcement.
After years of working on the harder styles, @npub1ywc…w6nr (Kold Konexion) decided to start producing techno music for his project Kartel Audio, together with his close friend Catscan. Both producers already had a strong interest in this scene and had released some electro/techno tracks in the past as an experimental part of some of their EPs.
Kold Konexion’s track I Scream I Like Ice Cream, which is part of the first release on the legendary hardstyle label Minus Is More, was named a ‘Dancefloor Destroyer’ by BBC Radio 1 in 2008.
This year he’s coming back from retirement for once and at Nostrdam he’s doing a special techno set!

How I met @npub1hqa…t56s in the Bitcoin world is unique to this community. We initially connected online and later met in person at a Bitcoin conference, unaware of each other's identity. After sharing a beer and engaging in a fascinating conversation at BBQ restaurant Braai, where I organized a meetup, we parted ways. It wasn't until a few days later, back home, that I realized we already knew each other from our online contact.
I’m thrilled to finally have Avi on the show after two years!

Bitcoin and Lightning researcher explains | Joe Miyamoto
A submarine swap daemon is a tool used in the Bitcoin Lightning Network to exchange on-chain Bitcoin for off-chain Lightning Bitcoin. It allows users to send their Bitcoin to the daemon, which waits for a user to request a submarine swap. The daemon then uses the on-chain Bitcoin to fund a new payment channel for the user, allowing them to transact off-chain. The submarine swap daemon reduces the number of on-chain transactions required and helps move Bitcoin between the on-chain and off-chain worlds.
If you want to learn more about submarine swap daemon and other Lightning Network topics, #[0] a Lightning Network researcher, can explain everything to you in the new episode of "Connect the World".

Bitcoin in Asia and The Lightning Conference Vietnam
In the latest episode of the "Connect the World" podcast, we had Albert Buu as a guest to talk about his company Neutronpay and the Lightning conference that's taking place in Vietnam this week. Neutronpay is a company that was founded in 2018 by Albert Buu, who previously worked in financial services and had previous entrepreneurial ventures. He believed that the Lightning network would see earlier adoption in emerging markets, so he moved from Canada to Vietnam, where his family is originally from, to launch a Lightning payment gateway solution for online and in-person merchants.

Cheap transactions due to the Africa free Routing initiative
In this episode of the Connect the World podcast, we explore the Lightning Network and its potential impact on Africa with Megasley, founder of the Africa Free Routing initiative. This non-profit Bitcoin lightning node, operated by African Bitcoiners, aims to make lightning payments as close to free as possible for Africans by providing inbound liquidity to other nodes. All proceeds go towards Bitcoin education in Africa. Learn how this initiative could help Bitcoin break free in Africa and support the cause by connecting to the node and spreading the word.
