Bitcoin price will probably just go up forever, slowly chugging upwards, nothing stops this train. Sit back and enjoy. The rest, however, is all in our hands. Apps, integrations, education, on and off ramps, protocols, layers. All that needs to be built. By us.

can someone ask the haters if this is real bitcoin

we can’t afford to be neutral on a moving train

gmail is email

I love bitcoin

"ecash is digital azteco" is something I would 100% tweet if I could

anyone who's still able to go on twitter is a security cuck

@hal was dead but I didn't notice. sry. he should be back now.

welcome back to nostr, security-conscious bitcoiner with a security key who just got locked out of X 🙌

bitchat (occupy wall st., 2011)

I kind of love how X just locked me out because of their security key rotation and even though I tried on 2 devices and it says "Success!", it won't let me log in anymore. Cleansing 🧼

IP level privacy is something we can't fully address in Cashu: Tor would be best but doesn't work in browsers. VPNs are great but the user needs to get one by themselves. OHTTP is a good compromise which we're adding. The best part about ecash however is that as the payer / customer in the vast majority of cases you remain fully offline when you make the payment. The merchant needs to talk to the mint (can use Tor, VPN, OHTTP) but the vast majority (customers) don't talk to the mint while making a payment. View quoted note →

If I had some free time, I would build a service that facilitates atomic swaps of ecash from one mint to another. Something like a broker, let's call him Charlie. - Users Alice use mint A, Bob uses mint B - Bob wants to pay Alice but doesn't have ecash from mint A - Bob discovers that Charlie holds a balance on mint A and mint B - Charlie offers to swap from B to A for a 0.5% fee - Bob agrees, atomically swaps coins from B for coins form A - Bob sends Alice coins from A Charlie obviously announces himself, the mints he supports, and his contractual conditions, on Nostr. That's also how Bob discovers him.

cashu is a protocol with crazy adoption but no company.

we like it when the mint doesn't know. here: atomic swap of cashu token with a lightning payment provided by a third party lightning gateway. as long as htlc's are supported, the mint can't prevent it. you can't do this with any other custodial system.
