April was straight fire for Geyser! ⚡️

New tools dropping left and right (2X matching, recurring Bitcoin/Stripe, micro-lending), killer campaigns hitting goals, and a Circular Economies report that is pure signal.

Real infrastructure for Bitcoin adoption is being built, not just hype.

If you're building or funding, making an impact, let's connect!

Ugh, just tried logging in with a test npub and I get stuck on the same dialog. They had my email for my normal npub, so it didn't show with that one.

Hey Lassdas, thanks for reaching out and sorry for delayed response. Honestly, we appreciate your feedback. That's right, we now require email for logged in users, even Nostr users. And it looks like you're not happy about that, because of sovereignty. The reason we added e Show more

It's unnerving to be forced to enter email when I try to sign in with Nostr. Makes the user feel trapped or left wondering if there is a bug in the website. I would prefer that they could at least click an "X" button and close that dialog without entering it and continue with the Nostr login. Email...

You have a link?

Yeah, it seems they don't care about nostr much. While looking for contact infos I scrolled down to the footer and there's lot's of "social media" links, but no npub, no mention of nostr, although th...

We'll be making that fix!

Once again, thanks for the feedback.
Would love to know which changes have not made it better!

We have made some changes recently especially related to our payment infrastructure that allowed us to improve payment reliability, and soon additional changes will improve reliability even further.

Hey nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 , why do you try force me to add an email now? So you can help me "recover my account"? That's not necessary, thank you. I ca...

Hey Lassdas, thanks for reaching out and sorry for delayed response.

Honestly, we appreciate your feedback.

That's right, we now require email for logged in users, even Nostr users.
And it looks like you're not happy about that, because of sovereignty.

The reason we added email requirement is multiple, but at the heart of it is the fact that we are finding it increasingly difficult to reach out users through social media alone - as X algorithms are changing quite drastically. As a result, email is a key way that we can spread the word about projects on Geyser directly to our audience without being tied to social media (X or even Nostr).

Our mission hasn't changed - of enabling projects on our platform to succeed and enable Bitcoin adoption globally. And Email (although broken in so many ways) is still a key way that we can remain SOVEREIGN - and be able to communicate to our users (as they choose).

If you're concerned about sovereignty there are still a lot of sovereign email providers, would this not be a viable solution for you?

Hope this clarifies our reasoning a bit more and would love to hear back your thoughts.

Importantly, you've been an ardent supporter of projects on Geyser so we GREATLY value your contributions and opinions, please let's keep the dialogue open and constructive, and we're open to alternative solutions. As we're always looking to improve.

I still don't understand why it needs to be a requirement. Why do you even want to "reach out to me"? If I don't subsribe to project updates with projects that I support, why would I want you to "spread the word about projects" that I probably don't care about directly via email? That's exact...

Not just adding but favoring Nostr because we are fighting for a decentralized world.

Geyser @geyser
What more can we do to favor nostr than what we're already doing?

- Nostr appears before X
- Nostr appears in purple

The reason we show Email is because 99% of the world has email but does not have Nostr, yet.

We are on a mission to bring Bitcoin fundraising and crowdfunding to the world, and we can't wait for Nostr to take over before we spread Bitcoin to the world.

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold, it’s becoming real money in communities worldwide. Just wrapped a powerful conversation with @El Flaco
(Kemal from @Blink Wallet) on the Bitcoin Circular Economies report.

Key takeaways:
• Grassroots Bitcoin adoption through circular economies is a sustainable and resilient model for Bitcoin adoption
• Bitcoin brings with it so many tools communities can use: savings, digital banking, fundraising, micro-lending, etc...
• Circular economies grow the number of connected users in the Bitcoin network, this is what makes the network more valuable.

What are Bitcoin Circular Economies?

Bitcoin Circular Economies can be defined in different ways, but it’s ultimately a local ecosystem where Bitcoin circulates as everyday money:


Why do Circular Economies matter?

Because sound money changes everything at the community level. In a world of failing fiat, circular economies are how communities build resilience and prosperity from the ground up.


The magic is in the network effects. 👇


Real-world examples that we mention in the report:

• Bitcoin Beach (El Zonte, El Salvador), the original: Started with surf-town donations, now locals pay rent, groceries, tuition, everything in Bitcoin. It directly inspired El Salvador making BTC legal tender.

• @BitcoinBerlinSV, @BitcoinEkasi, @Afribit Kibera: thriving tourism and local business loop in the jungle.

• The whole “14 Bitcoin Villages” vision in El Salvador and the growing global federation. There’s even a book compiling these stories from Bitcoin4Humanity.

The blueprint exists, now it’s scaling. ⚡

"Bitcoin Circular Economy Hubs are the place where local communities are empowered with tools that enable Bitcoin adoption and have local impact."

Geyser Impact Fund is deploying $150K+ into Bitcoin education and grassroots initiatives via circular economies.

We are using Circular Economy Hubs as the trust layer between local realities and bitcoin communities.

We call them Trusted Field Partners.

They help the sats flow in a trusted way to address local challenges, educate people, build community, build up entrepreneurship and so much more.

→ Capital flows into local hubs
→ Hubs allocate to community projects
→ Local capacity gets built on the ground

Become part of this movement by contributing to the Impact Fund: https://geyser.fund/impact-funds

And we’re not stopping here, we’re soon going to be deploying micro-loans through circular economies.
