this is a prized possession. out of print. very rare.

satoshi thought like a ux designer. check out his comment on why base58 over base64. base58 removes 0, O, I, l (look identical). removes + and / (forms accept it). all alphanumeric (double click selects all). base64 is more efficient but he optimized for real world use.

"You have to have some kind of a drive, some kind of a desire to find out the answer, a desire to find out what makes things tick. If you don’t have that, you may have all the training and intelligence in the world, but you won’t have questions and you won’t just find answers." — Calude Shannon (Claude Shannon at Bell Lab. March 20, 1952) https://www1.ece.neu.edu/~naderi/Claude%20Shannon.html

imo the best bitcoin narrative is framing it as a public utility. the first truly public payments infrastructure we’ve ever had. public as in open to everyone regardless of race, religion, or political allegiance.

you should care about craft. that last 10%.

openclaw identity.md should dynamically update based on what it learns. soul.md could remain the same.

cashu is untraceable machine to machine electronic cash.

redesigned the mint rating and review ui for cashu.me now you can see what mints your friends trust and leave reviews. wanted it to feel like getting a recommendation from someone you know. web of trust does helps do the vetting for you. see a mint with all reviews, then you can toggle to only show web of trust. ratings recalculate in real time based only on reviews from people in your web of trust. if you don't really use nostr like that, then cashu.me comes with a built in web of trust based on based bitcoiners. this is now live in prod. give it a try and let me know what you think. please report and UI issues or bugs too.

This is the place @npub16c0n...6nvr.

Spent all evening showing throwing ecash at people. This way of tossing people bitcoin is special, people react to it really well. All credit due to the push UX of ecash.

There’s no real line between work and life when you’re doing something that actually matters to you. A life spent building an open-source electronic cash system isn’t a life wasted.

Sushant has been working on the @Sovran onboarding flow as part of the @bitshala & @npub13s5m...l03e fellowship, and I’m really liking where it’s headed.

Big thanks to everyone who participated in the ecash design guide review session last week or left comments on the draft PR. I've just pushed a new version of the guide incorporating much of the feedback. You can check out the latest deployment here: https://deploy-preview-1093--bitcoin-design-site.netlify.app/guide/how-it-works/ecash/introduction/ The first half of the introduction, Cashu, and Fedimint pages have been updated. The second half of the introduction and design best practices section are still to be reviewed. I'm aiming to set up another session during the last week of September. My goal is to have this ready and deployed before Bitcoin ++ ecash edition. I'm confident we can make it happen. As always, your feedback is a gift! Feel free to leave it in the open PR:
