We're fixing what DigiCash has failed to do in the 90s. Ecash systems should be built on Bitcoin, the best money in the world. Join us.

"zap" is such a good word for it

Everytime I receive a 256 or 512 or 1024 sat zap, I know that it's from an ecash connoisseur.

In case you've missed it! ✨ Join us for the Ecash Hackday V2 in Berlin June 20-21 2k24. This is a small and intimate event for hackers, researchers, and anyone else interested in Chaumian Ecash. We have participants from GNU Taler, Fedimint, and Cashu. There will be talks, discussions, and a lot of code. Our goal is to bring the dev community closer together, exchange ideas, and work on cool projects during the hackathon. Register here.

ECASH HACKDAY

Let

Bitcoin doesn't win because of its marketing or its cheerleaders. We don't need to pretend it's perfect. What we need is to attract devs who'll work on improving it. Forever.

I just saw a demo of a new Cashu wallet. The wallet starts off with no mints. During onboarding, the user queries a decentralized mint index at Bitcoinmints.com. They choose a mint their web of trust recommended on nostr and off it goes. It's fucking happening. 🥜

Ecash fixes custodians, it doesn't fix Bitcoin. Gm 🫂

Accounts are often unnecessary, complicated to implement, prone to hacks, and put user data at risk. We can build better systems for authentication and payments that respect your users' privacy. Use Chaumian Ecash with Cashu.

Monetize Nostr relays with anonymous Bitcoin payments. A thought experiment. - run nostr relay - set up Cashu mint - users of the relay add Cashu payment to note publish requests itself - nostr relay operator gets paid for their troubles - there is no list of registered pubkeys, fvck that - users can use any pubkey they want, they can rotate to any key want, can use multiple keys - if you don't want to use the mint anymore, take the remaining cashu tokens and withdraw them to LN Why doesn't this exist?

At this point I'm too afraid to ask what the outbox model is.

Lightning capacity is shrinking while people saying "Lightning is getting more efficient" – sigh. No. The BTC price is rising, that's it. That's exactly the obvious salesman narrative that makes people upset and feel like they're being misled. Stop the cope.
