00:32 <stellar-slack> <eva> thanks @raybesiga! @takinbo, you said you're based in Kenya, right? Would you maybe be up for taking a video or picture of using M-Pesa? It would be so cool to see it first hand!

10:39 <stellar-slack> <takinbo> @eva: no I’m based in Nigeria and we don’t use M-pesa; however, we do have a number of interesting ways we pay for stuff

10:40 <stellar-slack> <takinbo> a certain bank in Nigeria allows you to buy airtime using the funds in your bank account just by dialing a USSD code

10:41 <stellar-slack> <takinbo> they also use the same technology to allow funds transfer to any bank within the country

16:53 <stellar-slack> <eva> @takinbo: my mistake, apologies! Ah, gotcha. That's fascinating - I've read a lot about airtime minutes being used as currency. Cool that it's so easy to do.

16:53 <stellar-slack> <eva> A picture of that process would be amazing!

17:51 <stellar-slack> <eva> Hey @scott, wanted to introduce you to @raybesiga - I think you two will have a lot to talk about in terms of bikes and code. :)

17:54 <stellar-slack> <scott> :) definitely. I’m always happy to talk about either (and many more subjects! I especially like movies, comics, and lists with three items). Cheers @raybesiga

17:54 <stellar-slack> <eva> hahah

17:55 <stellar-slack> <scott> I guess digital currency is pretty cool, too

17:55 <stellar-slack> <eva> meh. ;)

17:55 <stellar-slack> <eva> Ray's a big fan of the language Elixir - are you familiar with it?

17:56 <stellar-slack> <scott> yes. Started by a really awesome rubyist José Valim, I believe

17:57 <stellar-slack> <scott> Big fan of erlang and ruby both, so naturally I’m a fan of elixir as well

17:58 <stellar-slack> <scott> I actually started one of the first ruby/erlang bridge libraries: https://github.com/mojombo/erlectricity

17:58 <stellar-slack> <eva> oh that's awesome!

17:58 <stellar-slack> <eva> great name

17:59 <stellar-slack> <scott> :) thanks
