New on Geyser: BTC Isla, S19 Hashboardheater MK1, Public Pool for StartOS & More
Here are some the latest Bitcoin grassroots projects and initiatives launched via the Geyser crowdfunding platform.
Social initiatives
BTC Isla by Satoshi's Legacy
- Bitcoin self sufficiency for local communities. "My name is Isabella Santos, and I am the co-founder of Get Based, a Bitcoin media company. In February of 2024, I packed my bags and moved to Isla Mujeres, an island with about 22,000 people."
- "My goal is to transform this island and give its people the freedom that's been taken from them. And to lead this 'Bitcoin revolution,' I will need a lot of help. Because as of right now, it's me against the island."
Nostr Booth at BTC Prague
- Purple pilling everyone at BTC Prague. "The goal is to have a "Nostr Booth" inside BTC Prague's expo area. Developers want to have their own booth for their own client or micro-service at BTC Prague, but it's expensive. Therefore, we're looking to crowdfund the costs of the booth at the upcoming 3-day BTC Prague event. Developers can then use this shared community funded "Nostr Booth."
Open Source
Vexl
- Peer-to-peer bitcoin without KYC. "Vexl is a mobile app giving its customers a simple, inclusive, secure and private way to buy and sell BTC as it was intended: peer to peer (and without KYC)."
S19 Hashboardheater MK1
- Help me make this open-source, wall-mounted Heater using a single S19 Hashboard. "This build is designed to be wall mounted and could have the potential to replace infrared heaters in various settings. It uses a single S19 Hashboard together with a BCB 100 Controlboard from Braiins and an APW3++ PSU."
- Expected Hashrate is around 28-36 Th/s while heating rooms up to 30m².
Sovereign Mining on StartOS
- Raising funds to package Public Pool for StartOS. "The intention of this Geyser Fund is to raise a bounty for a developer to package Public-Pool to run on Start 9, the leading open-source Bitcoin node and sovereign server."
Podcasts
Wild Life Unschooling Podcast
- Unschooling conversations. "One day I quit all my jobs, and decided to dedicate my time to what is most important in my life and gives me the most possible freedom: Bitcoin and unschooling. On the show, I'm speaking to the big names in the unschooling universe, but also to awesome human beings from the Bitcoin space to empower other families to take the next step, and then the next step, and the next one."
Nodesignal Podcast

Green Candle Media
- Bringing Bitcoin and traditional finance in a digestible and entertaining way. "I'm Brandon Keys, founder of the media company Green Candle and podcast host! I have an engineering background, but while in graduate school I began a deep dive into economics for personal finance and stumbled upon Bitcoin."
- "My goal is to create a media company to blend all of traditional finance into a digestible manner all while bringing you some entertainment."
