Libra-net (7): Some crypto tips
And now for something completely different! Plus a Zoom link for our next S(c)iesta with Branislav Gerazov
This month our foundation donated books to a library in Makedonska Kamenica and supported the Nihon-Ji festival of Japanese culture in Skopje. We are also planning the distribution of 500 NZD experimental kits donated by our supporters, with the first workshops happening in early June. And now for something completely different!
We want to dedicate this edition of Libra-net to crypto and blockchain enthusiasts, who joined us in large numbers for our S(c)iesta with Andy Perkins. Andy took the time to make a list of his favorite Twitter accounts related to blockchain. Below are his descriptions and annotations, feel free to follow the list:
