Christ sorry one more boost... the addess for Battersea Bitcoiners is auto-filled by Nostr clients! It's so unnecessarily long, should just be Little Bianca, "North-coat" road! Well done for the attempt Rev, 10/10 for effort.

One more from me - if anyone else sends consumables globally, Battersea Bitcoiners are having a 1 year anniversary party on August 19th in London and I would love to order in some goods from Bitcoiners! Please reach out, or Rev & Reed let me know if you have good suggestions, I'm already talking with SatsOil thanks to this episode!

Great episode. Chicago really sounds like they have their act together up there and are a great inspiration for the rest of the meetup groups across the country. Nice job CBC! Want to clear something funny up…. My handle is pronounced (wit sixer). I got a kick out of the different ways to say it but thought I’d clear it up for you.
