    I paid dinner using Bitcoin in Venezuela. First time crypto-transaction of the restaurant!

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 08:09 PM PST

    I just paid dinner in Bitcoin. Venezuela is not mass adopting Bitcoin for now but various sites are starting to accept Bitcoin, that's as payment in Bolivares suffer from inflation.

    Here are the pics in bad quality of a couple of dishes + BTC transaction already confirmed.

    And yes it's an expensive restaurant in Venezuela, based on all the problems here, there are restaurants that are still offering good quality service and dishes but for an expensive price compared to monthly salary.

    I'm happy Bitcoin is growing and these options are now here.

    Thanks for reading.

    PS. not sharing this because country where I made payment. I'm sharing because Bitcoin adoption. I would love to keep discussions of Venezuela out. But If you want me to explain current situation, you are free send me a private message.

    Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 Released

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 03:04 AM PST

    Decentralized exchange, Bisq, to launch their first USD liquidity week Monday 2/26. BTC/USD trading fees reduced by 75%, new payment methods recently added (venmo, cash app, +more). Only problem is they are busy coding, not doing PR + marketing. Let's help spread the word!

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 05:28 PM PST

    If you have access to USD payment methods, put an order in the order book for a week, and help encourage USD liquidity growth.

    Text of their email newsletter:


    Greetings, Bisq users!

    Tomorrow—Monday Feb 26th—begins Bisq's first-ever USD liquidity week. It's an effort to bootstrap BTC/USD trading activity to a level where organic growth can really take off.

    Sound interesting? If you have access to US payment methods and are eager to see Bisq's BTC/USD market grow, you can help!

    First, upgrade to Bisq v0.6.6, where you'll find several new features that make trading and market making better than ever:

    1. Trading fees have been reduced by 75%. It now costs just 0.00005 BTC to make an offer at market price.

    2. Several popular US payment methods have been added, including Cash App, Venmo, Popmoney, Uphold and ACH/WIRE.

    3. You can now deactivate and reactivate your offers with no loss of trading or mining fees.

    Next, you can do any or all of the following:

    Join us on YouTube at 11a Pacific / 2p Eastern, where Bisq contributors Chris Beams and Felix Moreno will screencast a live BTC/USD Bisq trade using Cash App as the payment method.

    Be a USD market maker for the week. This will mean keeping one or more BTC/USD offers open throughout the week. We'll discuss the details and take your questions during the live stream.

    Spread the word. Follow @bisq_network and retweet tomorrow's live stream announcement and other news about USD liquidity week. Let's see how big this thing can get.

    Thanks for your support!

    A company call Elev8 has a bitcoin ATM at the Envision Festival in the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica.

    PSA: Lightning Network is NOT ready for mainnet use. It is in alpha and there will be breaking changes that require every mainnet channel to be closed.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 06:04 PM PST

    Everyone is quite exited for the new developments in Bitcoin. I am as well. However, it's important to keep in mind that this technology is still being developed and changes are still being made. If you are running a lightning node, these changes will require you to close all of your channels and reopen new ones.
