Why Fedimint matters in South Africa
Episode Summary
Eric Sirion, Joscha, and Hermann join to discuss Fedimint being used in the wild in South Africa. We get into Bitcoin Ekasi’s live five-of-seven federation, running guardians on Start9, how Iroh removes DNS and networking pain, backups, uptime, and why federated custody can be a powerful middle ground between self custody and custodial wallets. We discuss Lightning gateways, Conduit wallet, MoneyBadger payments, eCash privacy, zero-fee internal transactions, on-chain UTXO consolidation, and why Fedimint may become a key tool for Bitcoin communities around the world.Starting your own federation: https://fedimint.org/guardians/Setup/overviewConduit Wallet: https://joschisan.github.io/conduitFedimint on X: https://x.com/fedimintBitcoin Ekasi on X: https://x.com/BitcoinEkasiBitcoin Ekasi on Nostr: https://primal.net/bitcoinekasiEPISODE: 206BLOCK: 956087PRICE: 1714 sats per dollarmore info on the show: https://citadeldispatch.comlearn more about me: https://odell.xyzmonitor the situation: https://citadelwire.comten31: https://ten31.xyzopensats: https://opensats.org
