About
We are building an open source tool that lets people send and receive Bitcoin payments even when internet is bad. Shops agents and community workers can use QR SMS or offline vouchers then sync to Lightning later.
Impact
It helps Africans who lose money and time because payments fail or banking is weak. Vendors waste collectors and youth workers can get paid faster with cheap open rails. It can power markets recycling payouts remittances and community services.
Progress
We already understand real field problems from building community and waste systems. The next step is an MVP with offline voucher logic agent dashboard docs and a pilot for market and recycling payouts. We will build in public and ship usable code.
Team
We combine on the ground African problem knowledge with systems thinking product execution and real deployment experience. We know informal markets community programs and waste networks, so we can build infrastructure people will actually use.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
