 Hey, @MeA_BzZz you mentioned looking for an investor for your solar grid/Bitcoin mining initiative in small villages. 

Dunno if this would be the right fit, but I recall it being quite interesting when I first heard about it — have you looked into Sun Exchange? I believe they were a sponsor when @markstephany started his podcast, so perhaps Mark could provide some more info, but generally my understanding is that they provide small villages with funding to build out solar infrastructure by tapping into a global network of smaller/individual investors who already understand the Bitcoin ethos.

 Sun exchange is not a viable option at the moment, they were not doing so wellish 
 Damn, that’s too bad. I was wondering why I hadn’t heard much about them lately 
 I still get payouts, I am still helped build infrastructure. https://i.nostr.build/MJMiPszNCH8EM0pc.jpg  
 Interesting! Do you feel it was worthwhile on the “investor” side, in terms of sats stacked per fiat spent? 

And as a good cause to support (you said they’re struggling but I don’t know the details) has it been effective in their mission? 
 As an investor is was not a smart choice. I held currency risk, its located outside my nation, I paid in sats that were 20% down, the payout assumes no issues for decades.

I helped a farm become self sufficient in a nation not nearly as well off as my own. When there was a flood my investment did not generate, and I did not add to any financial strain. I hopefully created more productivity and nutrition for people I will never know. 

They are out of the crowd sourced solar and just create projects. Essentially a regular business now. 
 Thanks for supporting anyway 🫂🤙🏽 
 🫂 of course
