Amazing Dispatch from @OpenSecret team highlighting #fedimint, #nostr and @npub19hg5...yv9p NWC is the biggest bitcoin UX improvement since lightning: - NWC lets you send bitcoin in ANY app without opening your wallet - NWC lets you send payments in the future (i.e. subscriptions) View quoted note →

Potential app revenue opportunity? With NIP87, any social app (i.e. @primal) knows that you recommended a mint. A marketplace like BitcoinMints.com wants better/updated ratings and would be willing to pay @primal to show a NIP87 “post” in the feed asking “How’s your recent experience with the FREEMadeiraOrg mint?” and a 5 star choice to only users that previously recommended a mint. Apps make money, marketplaces get better reviews. Bad example (I’m just thinking about mints a lot), but an interesting concept I think 🤔

100+ users have recommended a #fedimint since @OpenSecret launched its integration yesterday. Want to add a more detailed review or change your recommendation? Just login to BitcoinMints.com. Both are using #nostr so your identity and data are the same across apps. image

Another interesting aspect of BitcoinMints.com that highlights the network effect of #nostr is the ability to discover new users. Write an innovative or detailed review and you'll be sure to get new followers on the social nostr apps.

The most obvious power of #nostr is the ability to connect your social graph across apps. Connections on @primal and @Damus create a web of trust for any marketplace. We added filters to 🔍 Trust your friends 🫂

💥 BitcoinMints.com 💥 We just launched the first place to list and review Cashu mints leveraging #nostr as the discoverability and identity layer. Cashu is an ecash protocol that will enable users to send millions of #bitcoin payments with one click. BitcoinMints.com is a Nostr client that uses NIP-87 to publish and review mints. $boost

Bitcoin’s L3 is a messaging layer. It doesn’t need to be trustless, it needs to improve access and usability of bitcoin payments. We should spend more time focused on L3. Bitcoin lacks users. $boost
