405 sats \ 10 replies \ @BTCNautilus 13 Nov \ on: What are you working on this week? meta
Working through my third week after quitting my fiat job and going full time on Lightning Pay. Amazing feeling being able to dedicate myself to building a bitcoin business that's sorely needed (and missing) in New Zealand.
We've been operating for about 9 months now, and are now facing our first bull market problems! Hopefully our big plans don't get delayed too much. Main goal this week is to keep working through some of our product questions about how to better integrate our fast fiat rails to improve the sat stacking experience with Fiat -> Lightning -> Cold Storage and back for spending.

Hey if you want to post anything about this on
it would be great- as a NZer who has only just started using LN while traveling overseas I am now excited to get back to NZ next month and be part of seeing MoE use grow there.
I have already put up some links to your work on the sub sidebar but any posts or further updates would be appreciated.

Yeah, thanks, I'll do that.

oh paying bills directly. That's cool.

Yep! Thanks. That's my favourite thing we've done so far for sure. The best excuse to have less cash in the bank I've ever had.

The site looks nice and I see that is very well documented the support page with very detailed guides.
I see you have also OTC, that is really interesting.
Well done!
Unfortunately I do not live in NZ but I added your website /services in my lists.
Living in NZ was one of my old dreams but i couldn't make it come true.

I'm an expat myself, coming from the US about 8 years ago for the fiat job. Luckily, got myself in a position to stay and quit that job! The bitcoin community is not huge here, but very strong, and we punch above our weight I think. The power of meetups is what precipitated that change, getting connected to the community and getting some like minded friends is a game changer.

I have a friend from UK that is moving to NZ these days.
Please can you give a contact for him to connect with this local BTC community? Do you guys have a meetup place or something?
reply
Sure thing, I' be happy to connect your friend with the community here. We have meetups in every major city these days, and a major event that hops around the country every quarter. Next big one is in beautiful Queenstown on March 1. Easiest way to reach me on nostr (npub19zvj4ssnqjn8v37qq0ha76q22vf4venhkuxdw75ehszujqayjuqspdz3fd) or at the same handle @btcnautilus on X and Telegram.

And thanks for adding us to your site by the way. I've used it quite a bit myself, great resource your providing there, I commend you for the obvious mountain of work you've done there. We're trying to do the same (as you've noted), but we have a ways to go to catch up to you!
