#### ***“In an environment filled with noise, her work is crystal clear and honest."***

#### ***Andreas M. Antonopoulos***

The idea for this event came from @grayruby. I have been posting here for the past few months about Anita’s activities and forwarding the earned sats to her Stacker News account, with limited success. Now, @grayruby and I are kicking it up a notch.

I am starting things off with a 100,000 sats boost. @grayruby has agreed to zap this post 100,000 sats, and his wife has agreed to zap an additional 20,000 sats.  Keyan Kousha (@k00b), Stacker News founder and CEO, has graciously agreed to zap 100,000 to this post, in essence reimbursing the boost I made to assure visibility. It’s then up to the Stacker News community to see how big we can make the final number.

If we are successful, this might just be the first of many Stacker News charity satsraisers. If so, I can’t  think of a better way to start than with Anita Posch and Bitcoin For Fairness.  

### Bitcoin For Fairness Resources and Programs

If you have some time, watch this [documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXLiwrrk3sk) to get an idea of how Anita sees bitcoin as a tool for enforcing human rights:

On the BFF [web site](https://bffbtc.org/) you can find many learning resources, including books, instructional videos, a weekly newsletter, and [The Anita Posch Show](https://fountain.fm/show/GEO1bBIhUkFLCnAaqXQ5) podcast, which I listen to on fountain. She’s been doing this podcast since August of 2018. Her first episode’s guest was Saifedean Ammous, who had recently published “The Bitcoin Standard.” 

I have subscribed to her newsletter, The Orange Journal, for the past year or so, and I highly recommend it for its informative content.

The organization also hosts meetups and workshops in African nations. 

According to the web site:

> Bitcoin For Fairness is a non-profit initiative raising awareness and understanding of Bitcoin for people in emerging countries and for disadvantaged communities. We connect and boost the profile of local stakeholders, identify and work with educators on the ground to expand Bitcoin adoption locally and Bitcoin awareness globally.

I’m glad we decided to do this fundraiser now, because Bitcoin For Fairness just released its [Crack The Orange](https://my.cracktheorange.com/) platform. Here is how that program is described in The Orange Journal:
> 
> #### Bitcoin made easy

> Over the last years in the Bitcoin space, I have observed and understood the obstacles in Bitcoin education. The amount of Bitcoin information out there can be overwhelming and make it hard to orient oneself. This lack of clarity creates a fertile ground for scammers, who in return give Bitcoin a bad reputation. After my experiences in Africa, I don’t believe in quick fixes such as sending a shop or restaurant owner some Satoshis and leaving them shortly after, to fend for themselves. Other attempts are very technical and require a deeper understanding of highly technical terms which can be a barrier for people without previous economic education.



> #### So what was missing?

> It became clear to me that people needed a structure and a trustworthy contact person. Someone they could ask questions after they learned something new. Also different learners require different materials. This is why I created my learning platform Crack The Orange which includes text, video, audio, and the possibility of live call participation, in which learners can ask me and other thought leaders questions that come up during education. The goal of this program is to offer long term sustainable Bitcoin education. Today I want to offer you a 10% discount on all products paid in national currencies. The coupon code 21ORANGES is valid until the 21st of September 2023.



> #### Course & Membership Options

> Memberships
> 1. Become a Supporter & get access to the private community channel.

> 2. Become an Enthusiast & get access to one live Q&A with   per month. Users have the possibility to ask questions, get access to exclusive content, the (L)earn Bitcoin ebook and free access to my private community channel.

> 3. Become a Builder & be a part of podcast recordings with special guests, get access to one live Q&A per month with me, the possibility to ask questions, exclusive content, the (L)earn Bitcoin ebook and free access to my private community channel.

> 4. Become a Course Master & get access to all (future) courses as long as subscribed. Be a part of podcast recordings with special guests, live Q&As with me, the chance to ask questions, exclusive content, the (L)earn Bitcoin ebook and free access to the private community channel.



> #### (L)earn Bitcoin Course

> Heart of the educational program is the (L)earn Bitcoin course, which includes a one-year membership, where students can receive a certificate of completion after successfully finishing the course. This credential paves the way to becoming a "Certified Bitcoin Professional'' through the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4), equipping individuals to leverage Bitcoin technology professionally.

> Crack The Orange's impact extends beyond membership and courses. Scholarships made possible through donations grant Global South Bitcoin educators and community builders access to transformative education, breaking global financial barriers.





![journ](https://imgprxy.stacker.news/ZHlSd5EJxwPAC7EU5a1jL0Dp8_Lgqzb3RuKVGH5At4c/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9iZmZidGMub3JnL3dwLWNvbnRlbnQvdXBsb2Fkcy8yMDIyLzEwL2JpdGNvaW4td29yc2hvcC5qcGc)

### “If bitcoin works here, it can work anywhere.”

Someone asked Anita why she went to Zimbabwe to educate people about bitcoin. I assumed it was because of that nation’s notorious hyperinflation.  I’m sure that played a role, but she said that she wanted to show people that bitcoin can be adopted anywhere and everywhere.  Listen to a few of her podcasts. You’ll wonder where she gets her drive and focus.  

Anita grew up in Austria. Before becoming a bitcoin activist she worked in web development and e-commerce. As a woman, she describes the subtle or overt slights and disadvantages of being under appreciated in a male dominated world. She is openly gay and a professed feminist. I have never seen any indication that her politics has affected her success as a bitcoin activist. She speaks at bitcoin conferences and events throughout the world. She is a frequent guest on the most popular bitcoin podcasts. Her standing in the community belies the common misconception that bitcoin is only for “alt right” men, whatever the hell alt right even means. Bitcoin doesn’t give a damn about your politics or beliefs. Bitcoin is freedom for everyone, the opposite of the ideals embraced by virtue signaling authoritarians. 

Bitcoin is also still characterized in some circles as a scam or get rich quick scheme. The fact that this bullshit still gains traction amazes me. Maybe those pushing these narratives should follow Anita around for a few weeks, if they can keep up with her.

Bitcoin is about proof of work, and that’s where Anita excels.

She has dedicated her life to educating disadvantaged communities in the global south about bitcoin. She walks the walk. She lives on bitcoin, although doing so is not always convenient, and sometimes the volatility causes a loss of purchasing power. She’s not in it for a lambo. She’s not “investing” in bitcoin with the goal of gaining great wealth. I can’t imagine her saying “have fun staying poor”. She spends a good part of her life in the Global South, in overcrowded cities or tiny isolated villages. Internet connectivity is spotty and blackouts are frequent. Basic necessities are sometimes in short supply.  It’s not about Larry Fink and BlackRock. It’s about the communities that have been victimized by the neo colonialism of organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.  It’s about those African nations forced to use the [CFA franc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFA_franc), which drains these nations of their resources while enriching France.

### “Keep The Unbanked Unbanked”

I heard her say this on a podcast once. It stuck with me. The point is that bitcoin is the only bank you need. Many people in the countries where she works have never had a bank account. They don’t need one. She describes the lightning network as your checking account, and onchain bitcoin as your savings account. She intentionally keeps her educational materials simple and practical. She isn’t teaching about merkle trees and elliptic curve cryptography.  She is teaching how to use bitcoin as the solid, bullet proof money that it is.

If you look at the Bitcoin For Fairness web site, there are links to videos and blog posts teaching how to download a wallet to a cell phone, where to buy bitcoin, and a guide to the Machankura platform, which 

> allows you to buy goods, send and receive bitcoin via the Lightning Network without the need for internet or smartphone.

This is all basic, nuts and bolts advice to get you using bitcoin right away. There is little technical theory. BFF does provide links to resources for those who do want to pursue a career in bitcoin development, but that’s not where the emphasis lies. 

![table](https://imgprxy.stacker.news/QwTKf004luAP1Dltnt2MiG1wGx8oOuOZsGTyWwh8LH0/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9iZmZidGMub3JnL3dwLWNvbnRlbnQvdXBsb2Fkcy8yMDIzLzAxL2JmZi5qcGVn)

### My Goals

Learning about Anita and the many others in the bitcoin community doing this type of work always makes me feel a little guilty. I may be obsessed with bitcoin, but it’s mostly through reading and interacting with other bitcoiners on Stacker News and Nostr. I surf the web while comfortably lounging on my cushy recliner chair. 

![chair](https://imgprxy.stacker.news/TXK7OF7iGblc13vtfPWeQ9jXPr2So16VslRTIKJLYbY/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvZFE0RmhnMnkvY2hhaXIuanBn)

So I want to make some changes. I want to get off my ass and spend more time working on fundraising for the people who are dedicating their lives to bitcoin education and adoption. This satsraiser is a small start, but it’s a start.



Another thing I am trying to do is also inspired by Anita. I am trying to get closer to the ideal of “living on bitcoin.” I have used the excuse that it’s too difficult for too long. I’m going to take it one expense at a time.  I’m asking local merchants if they accept bitcoin. I get some weird looks. I haven’t had much success. I hope to get better with practice.

I’m asking you to help too. Give what you can

### How To Help

- You can zap this post. All sats are directed to @anita ‘s Stacker News wallet. 

- You can privately donate to Bitcoin For Fairness on their [web site](https://bffbtc.org/donate/).

Whatever you choose, please reply to this post if you want your support to be recognized.


If you can’t spare the sats right now, you can contribute to the bitcoin cause in other ways. Use Anita Posch as your model. You don’t need to travel half way around the world to find disadvantaged communities that would benefit from the establishment of a bitcoin circular economy. There are homeless encampments throughout the U.S. There are plenty of impoverished people in western Europe. You speak their language. You already have a leg up on Anita. You know their culture. The people you encounter are more likely to have a cell phone and a reliable internet connection. The neighborhoods you visit won’t be under constant threat of blackouts. Maybe you can establish the next Bitcoin For Fairness.

Thanks,
Siggy

I can't imagine an online community has ***satrsaised*** a hackathon sponsorship before.

***Satsraiser***: make the Stacker News community a sponsor of BTC++ Berlin hackathon

[bitcoin++](https://btcplusplus.dev/) conference is headed to [Berlin Oct. 6-7 and is focused on Nix and Bitcoin](https://btcplusplus.dev/berlin23).

----------

https://imgprxy.stacker.news/YuXAbI8m-hcjyrqD32fvYp0ugXpTLDK8ZvvxtkgQr9w/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9idGNwbHVzcGx1cy5kZXYvc3RhdGljL2ltZy9ob2x6bWFya3RfZXh0ZXJpb3IucG5n

-----------

Between our two offices, @niftynei pitched me on SN becoming a sponsor for the hackathon, but I thought it'd be way cooler if the Stacker News *community* was the sponsor. I can't imagine an online community has satrsaised a hackathon sponsorship before. How cool would that be!

Nifty said typical threshold for this is 7.5m sats. I'm not sure we can hit that threshold, but maybe we can raise enough to sponsor Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew for the bitcoin hackers at the conference.

Suggestions For Next ***Satsraiser***

I would like everyone's suggestions and input for the next Satsraiser. 

So far, @grayruby suggested Open Sats at one point. 

I have been speaking to the man who runs Orphans Of Uganda. They just joined Stacker News this morning.  I am impressed with the information I've gotten so far.

Please let me know about your favorite bitcoin projects.

***Satsraiser*** - Running Bitcoin - 10th Jan 2024 🏃‍♂️


# **Running Bitcoin Challenge 2024**

![Running bitcoin fundraiser](https://image.nostr.build/8552cfd84a5c541c3f453792b1f1111d89912e249be5cdf77710896430c6b554.png)

We all stack sats. And occasionally steps too. Today I wanted to draw the Stacker's attention to the fact that we're fundraising in support of Fran Finney and the incredible work both she and her husband Hal Finney have done for ALS research & Bitcoin. All sats from this SN post will be donated to the **[Stacker News team page](http://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/goto/stacker-news)** of the Running Bitcoin event.

**Note**: Please also check-out & zap this SN post from @gnilma who has already got their 21km done:
> **[Running Bitcoin - ALS Golden West Running Bitcoin Challenge](https://stacker.news/items/380662)**

------------

# **Run with us 10th January! 👟**
For those that want to get their 'chicken legs' out, **JOIN US** for a `half marathon run` (21km or 13.1m). Just sign-up via our **[team page](http://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/goto/stacker-news)** It need not be done all in one go, but we're supposed to be clocking up the miles this week to make sure we hit 21km or 13.1miles total by 23:59 on January 10th. Would be great to see more of you Stackers get involved!

------------

# **All Zaps will go to ALS charity ⚡**
Any proceeds from this post, will be paid via BTCPayServer by 6pm EST on `Wednesday 10th January` to the Running Bitcoin account. A comment will be added to this post with proof of payment(s) via BTCPayServer. It may be better however if you can **[donate directly](http://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/goto/stacker-news)** on the ALS website page. There are a few more steps involved (inc. personal data) so either way is fine. I wanted to make this as accessible and uncomplicated as possible. See the steps below if you'd like to contribute personally.

# **Hal Finney  💎**
In 2 days time, we'll all be celebrating Hal Finney's [famous tweet](https://twitter.com/halfin/status/1110302988) (whilst I nurse my cramped-up calves). Yes this could have been posted on the day, but hopefully we can get more keen runners like Hal involved!

| ![Hal Finney running](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FmR3tZqXwAE2UV9?format=jpg&name=large) ![](https://cryptoast.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Hal-fauteuil-roulant-768x1024.jpeg)  | ![](https://miro.medium.com/max/1200/1*uWPoKG9JZNv0BRdnsit94Q.jpeg) ![](https://assets.website-files.com/5e5fcd39a7ed2643c8f70a6a/5fbbb7c0f2637fea15a89447_image_2020-11-23_142313.png)  |

### **So, what is ALS ❓**
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor-neurone disease that progressively gets worse over the course of a few short years. ALS, also called Motor Neuron Disease (MND), is still today in 2024 not well understood. It can only mostly be diagnosed by process of excluding all other possible causes of the symptoms, although there are now some markets. Most of the time there is no test. For the best complete description of how symptoms can unfold, it would be best to hear it described by Fran Finney (Hal's wife) pictured above in her [WBD interview on YouTube](https://youtu.be/00_sakWbmZY?feature=shared&t=890) timestamped from 14m50s. 
Furthermore I encourage you all to read more about the disease on the [ALS.org](https://www.als.org/understanding-als/what-is-als) website.


### **What did Hal say about his symptoms? 🗣️**
Read more about the effects of ALS, straight from the great Hal Finney on [Bitcointalk.org](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0):

> *ALS is a disease that kills moter neurons, which carry signals from the brain to the muscles. It causes first weakness, then gradually increasing paralysis. It is usually fatal in 2 to 5 years. My symptoms were mild at first and I continued to work, but fatigue and voice problems forced me to retire in early 2011. Since then the disease has continued its inexorable progression.*
> 
> *Today, I am essentially paralyzed. I am fed through a tube, and my breathing is assisted through another tube. I operate the computer using a commercial eyetracker system. It also has a speech synthesizer, so this is my voice now. I spend all day in my power wheelchair. I worked up an interface using an arduino so that I can adjust my wheelchair's position using my eyes.*  
> 
> *It has been an adjustment, but my life is not too bad. I can still read, listen to music, and watch TV and movies. I recently discovered that I can even write code. It's very slow, probably 50 times slower than I was before. But I still love programming and it gives me goals...* 
> 
> *That's my story. I'm pretty lucky overall. Even with the ALS, my life is very satisfying. But my life expectancy is limited.*

-------

### **Why ALS needs our help? ❤️‍🩹**
Studies to develop more treatments and a cure for ALS, many funded by The ALS Association, are ongoing around the world. Scientists ARE making progress in understanding how the disease works, identifying biological indicators that can help diagnose and treat the disease, and learning ways to prevent cases of ALS. **[Learn more about ALS research](https://www.als.org/research)**. The research is under-funded though, despite the ice-bucket challenge years ago, bringing some awareness to the disease. Since then however many charities have struggled to find funding for research and treatment. There is therefore a great opportunity for Bitcoin to make a huge impact on ALS research. I'm sure this 'Running Bitcoin' event will be ongoing catalyst.



### **Learn more about Fran Finney 🏃‍♀️**
As I mentioned, sats or no sats, please make sure you watch the** [What Bitcoin Did interview](https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/running-bitcoin-with-fran-finney)** with Fran Finney, Hal's wife. It was discussed** [here on SN](https://stacker.news/items/371456)** by @siggy47. It was incredible to hear of her resilience in spite of the immense struggles they both had together. And it is still wonderful to see her smiling and still thinking about Hal each and every day.

As I put the final touches on adding cowboy credits, I'm finding I'll need to enhance/modify/overhaul the [satistics](/satistics) page. So, I figured I'd query you all for changes I can weave in as I work on it.

1. Is there anything you wish it did that it currently doesn't?
2. Is there anything you think it does poorly that it could do better?

Thanks!

This is Siggy. I created this account to organize the satsraising projects on SN. I will post them from here, but I will also make general, more frequent short posts about general fundraising stuff.  I plan on taking advantage of the SN percentage forwarding feature to forward sats to more than one project when the posts are not targeted. This also gives me the ability to zap my own posts!

I'm just thinking out loud, so please send me your suggestions, ideas, and content. It would be great if one of the artistically inclined among us can come up with a logo. Even link post suggestions are fine, since all rewards will be going to a worthy cause.

***Satsie's*** Pocket Guide (Zines) to BIPs, Taproot, Payjoin, and Stratum v2

bitcoin_beginners

Originally shared [here](https://stacker.news/items/571243/r/k00b) but the Payjoin zine is new. There's also [an effort underway to make Thai translations](https://aekasitt.github.io/zines/).[^1]

I have a copy of *BIPs* I found lying around @PlebLab. Gotta collect 'em all.

The Weirdness of Ambrose Bierce: From "Owl Creek Bridge" to Horror and ***Satire***

BooksAndArticles

Like a lot of folks, the only Bierce I encountered for years was "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." I did eventually discover more of his stuff in a few anthologies, but he seems to have been largely forgotten, sadly.

[SN Feature Request] Separate sats and cowboy credits ledger on ***Satistics***

Currently, the [Satistics page](https://stacker.news/satistics?inc=invoice,withdrawal,stacked,spent) shows sats and cowboy credits in a combined ledger, as so:

It would be really helpful to separately see what we're earning and spending in terms of sats and cowboy credits, separately.

Apologies if this is already on the to-do list or if there's already a way to do this.

There's a link to ***satistics*** on both your profile and on the wallet related pages.

SN release: wallet history aka "***satistics***"

Kind of self explanatory. If you're logged in and visit [this link](/satistics?inc=invoice,withdrawal) you can see all your wallet activity.

It's kind of a firehose right now, but it's v0. In the future this will likely have graphs and sorting and stuff.

Next up: top comments and users, then probably comment sorting, then hopefully search by the New Year.

Trying Something New

I have been thinking of ways to raise sats to donate to worthy bitcoin projects for a while. Some of you may have noticed that I sometimes re-post Anita Posch’s newsletter on SN and forward the sats to her. I believe in her work.

@grayruby approached me about doing a fundraiser here on Stacker News, so we have decided to give it a try. We’re still a little up in the air about the best way to do this, but I will be posting the fundraiser tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30.  @anita’s Bitcoin For Fairness will be our first fundraiser

We need your help and support.

The first thing we need is input as to what the hell to call this thing.

So far, the possibilities are:

Satsraiser

Sats-A-Thon

Zapathon


We need input from the community. Please reply with suggestions. 

I will post the fundraiser tomorrow morning around 8 a.m. EST

Thanks

I naturally mentioned Anita Posch and the ***Satsraiser***.

Orange Pilling Your Lefty Friends

I have lived most of my life in the New York City area, so if I didn't have a few lefty/commie pinko friends I would be a complete loner. 
A few days ago my wife and I visited dear friends with whom we have next to nothing in common politically They are classic democratic party "progressives". I socialize with the husband a lot, and we have become close friends. I have of course attempted to orange pill him for years, without the slightest success.
 During our recent visit they began speaking about charitable causes they support. I naturally mentioned Anita Posch and the Satsraiser. They were intrigued and wanted to know why she used bitcoin. I then went into my Alex Gladstein imitation, talking about French Colonialism and the CFA. I honestly was not consciously in orange pill mode. We had a good, long conversation.
When I got home the husband texted me and said he wanted to go with me to the "Bitcoin Bar"(Pub Key) the next time I went. It's probably more curiosity than anything else, but I'm hopeful.
I know @k00b made a post a while back about talking to lefty friends about bitcoin. The charity angle may be effective. I'll keep you guys posted after the visit.
