It's going to be even more boring when I can just pay at every Square merchant on Earth. So boring. But it might get more interesting when that Square merchant is my doctor or pharmacist and I can just show the prescription I just got from my doctor, have it verified, and fulfilled immediately with no centralized recordkeeper in sight. #nostr #safebox View quoted note →

Maybe this is really boring, but I have built a Lightning wallet that does everything in the background with Cashu and drops to Lightning when necessary. Everything is stored encrypted in relays And, oh, everything is presented in the local currency of choice because the user pays in local currency. All working so private payments is now boring - I am now adding private record sharing. #nostr #safebox

I fly reasonably frequently and I now take an active interest over which airspace the flight path is taking me. Earlier this year, I was surprised to be flying over Russia. Upon the return trip, on another flight path, we judiciously avoided flying through the airspace of several smaller countries. I have an upcoming international flight, and I am hoping we will be avoiding American airspace because of the air traffic controller shortage.

ideologues are not innovators.

Akshually, they are opening a Lightning channel… View quoted note →
