Episode notes
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.
