<p>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.<br /><br /><strong>Starting your own federation:</strong> <a href="https://fedimint.org/guardians/Setup/overview" target="_blank">https://fedimint.org/guardians/Setup/overview</a><br /><strong>Conduit Wallet:</strong> <a href="https://joschisan.github.io/conduit" target="_blank">https://joschisan.github.io/conduit</a><br /><strong>Fedimint on X:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/fedimint" target="_blank">https://x.com/fedimint</a><strong><br />Bitcoin Ekasi on X: </strong><a href="https://x.com/BitcoinEkasi" target="_blank">https://x.com/BitcoinEkasi</a><br /><strong>Bitcoin Ekasi on Nostr:</strong> <a href="https://primal.net/bitcoinekasi" target="_blank">https://primal.net/bitcoinekasi</a><br /><br />EPISODE: 206<br />BLOCK: 956087<br />PRICE: 1714 sats per dollar<br /><br />more info on the show: <a href="https://citadeldispatch.com" target="_blank">https://citadeldispatch.com</a><br />learn more about me: <a href="https://odell.xyz" target="_blank">https://odell.xyz</a><br />monitor the situation: <a href="https://citadelwire.com" target="_blank">https://citadelwire.com</a><br />ten31: <a href="https://ten31.xyz" target="_blank">https://ten31.xyz</a><br />opensats: <a href="https://opensats.org" target="_blank">https://opensats.org</a></p>
