Introducing Proof-Of-Gift: A FOSS WordPress & WooCommerce plugin bringing Chaumian eCash-inspired gift certificates to your online store! 🎁 This plugin creates secure gift tokens using Ed25519 signatures that function similarly to digital cash. These tokens offer: • Unforgeability through cryptographic signatures • Automatic change generation for partially used tokens • Double-spending prevention via redemption registry • URL-based application for easy sharing and distribution • Custom token naming (call them Gift Cards, Store Credits, etc.) Your customers can easily redeem tokens via query parameter URL links or at checkout. The plugin supports both store currency and satoshi-denominated tokens with automatic conversion at current exchange rates. Perfect for gift cards, loyalty programs, or promotions. And totally FOSS. https://github.com/pardus79/Proof-Of-Gift

I think I just got sats-denominated gift cards working on my site. But it's late and I need to sleep so I'll shill it tomorrow. If someone wants to test it and can figure it out with no instruction, support or guarantees, here's 10000 sats towards a purchase: BtcPins-.EbacVY7NDMBHEPj896XJA-AAAnEA-an.RXL5qxfxqeabg_8izF6_Z851tIVyTKwkgHrE7KBgYnqijAZaeU0lHZNYH.Nx_d9VvlNKNFEtQk0dfMFGqBQ Hopefully it should work only once lol Cool thing is if you order less than 10k sats worth, you'll get a code for the change! It's not ecash, but it works very similarly to an ecash mint on a practical level.

Our Spring Bitcoiner SoCal camping trip is a month out! April 11-13, Perris, CA Bring the kids and come hang out by the lake for a couple days with a great group of plebs! There will be lots of meat grilled, beers drank, and marshmallows roasted. If you're interested, DM me for details.

When you announce that XRP is the second best at the S ummit.

They won't be incentivised to arrest people they don't like to seize their Bitcoin for the SBR, right?

Been trying to make a ecash based gift certificate thing for my store. Turns out that was just overkill since it would run with a private mint so wouldn't need a lot of the benefits ecash provides, for all the complexity involved. 🤷 Could make sense for larger merchants (Target, Amazon) or when they use a large gift card provider or reseller. Because Ecash is just gift certificates, I thought it would be interesting to use them as such. Making something else to use instead. Just some cryptographically signed gift codes for the store, denominated in sats. No database to maintain other than nonces from redeemed gift codes. That should work fine.

Next project: Ecash-based gift certificates for the store with a private ecash mint.

It's going to get to the point where I don't even look for an app that I need. I'll just use AI to make it. Made a PDF to Excel one today, instead of paying $100+ for one. And I can add new features on demand later.

Bitcoiners after every one of 21 million times they are rugpulled by politicians https://video.nostr.build/159325e5fb0d235b704df258730017458c5d0d7c08b4f7d517400ba727e271cd.mp4

Don't use the money that they will print more of to buy XRP. You are allowing them to steal your value and buy shitcoins with it.

Zap! ⚡ First Nostrich affiliate payment went out today! They posted a link, someone bought a pin and some stickers, over 1000 sats sent to their wallet. All automatically, too. I just had to mark the order done and the sats went out!

Pulse v0.3.0 is released! Account-less affiliate links for WordPress/Woocommerce stores, powered by nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg https://github.com/pardus79/Pulse/releases/tag/v0.3.0 First it supported just lightning addresses. And now it also supports Nostr npubs as affiliate links. Though this does require access to an API that can bridge the gap between your store and Nostr relays. So we built that too! (https://github.com/pardus79/Nostr-Profile-API)

IT WORKS!!!!!! You can now just add your npub to a link to my store and if someone follows your link and orders, it will send your 10% commission to your zap address when the order ships! https://btcpins.com/?aff={npub} Replace {npub} with your npub That's it! You can also make affiliate links here. But you don't need to, since we don't have affiliate accounts. https://btcpins.com/affiliate-signup/

I couldn't find an API that just returned Nostr profiles from an npub. I need it for a wordpress plugin to grab lightning addresses from npubs for affiliate payments. So Claude.ai coded one up for me! Send an npub, get a lightning address back! If you need it, you can host it yourself: https://github.com/pardus79/Nostr-Profile-API
