The Lightning Cellphone Network | Kgothatso Ngako

Connect The World EP057 | Kgothasto Ngako | Machankura | South Africa

"Edward and Stef talk with Kgothasto Ngako, a software developer born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa. He is the founder of Machankura and working on projects that make Bitcoin more accessible in his community!

Machankura gives people the opportunity to make transactions over the Lightning Network via SMS text messages. So everybody can use an ordinary cell phone and a mobile number to get started!

Kgothatso talks about the potential his service has on other countries in the world without reliable internet access. They also talk about several different projects in South Africa, like Bitcoin Ekasi and Lightning education.

Want to know how Machankura wants to help the African continent? Join this last episode of 2022! Enjoy!”- Jonī Kyasshu
