Every time I hear that Kanye line on spaceship,
“Lock yourself in a room doing five beats a day for three summers…I deserve to do these numbers.”
I get so inspired. Passion is an incredible thing.
If I wasn’t working on ecash, I’d be working on making seed phrases obsolete. They’re the worst possible UX imaginable.
"Hey, we have the best engineered money in human history…but before you can use it, you have to grab a piece of paper and write down 12 random words. BTW if anyone ever finds this paper, they can steal your money forever."
Deeply unserious UX.
I think seed phrases are the best solution we have right now. But it’s naive and short sighted to think they’ll remain the standard for self custody / backup, or that we can’t design something 10x better and just as secure.

You can just drop ecash in the chat.

I prototyped a fully functional Bitchat Cashu wallet. From Figma wireframes to Kotlin code running live on Android. Pretty excited about the workflow. Sharing my exact flow in case it helps anyone else.
why would anyone do drugs when they could just vibe code a cashu wallet?
Woke up to a screenshot on TechCrunch. Not sure if anyone reads Tech Crunch anymore but LFG!

Dorsey's initial investment has gotten the new nonprofit "andOtherStuff" up and running, and he worked on some of its initial iOS apps.
Bitchat reminds me of the feeling of coming from school, jumping on IRC, and loading up Counter Strike 1.6.
