Nostr, ecash and bitcoin!
@David King and I talk about the future of #bitcoin payments. We cover nostr, cashu, boardwalkcash.com, stablecash, prisms, lightning, AI and the next cycle. We hope this shows what's now possible and inspires builders!
Nostr enables (1) one click payments (2) one click multi-party payments (3) subscriptions
Ecash enables (1) static money messages (2) stablecash (3) conditional payments
We now have better money and better payments.
BoardwalkCash.com is now a PWA app 📱
Just click Share and Add to Homescreen.
Boardwalk is open-source. Thank you @jos3 for the PWA and the first outside contribution!

Bitcoin payments are worse than traditional payments today. Lightning usage is low. We are falling behind in user growth.
But, the combination of nostr and ecash has the opportunity to dramatically change the #bitcoin payments experience.
--
Nostr enables one click, multi-party payments - impossible with traditional payments and even lightning alone today.
Ecash enables sending stablecash in a static message to anyone in the world - also impossible with traditional payments and lightning today.

We need more people using bitcoin payments. We need better bitcoin payments. The internet and AI is made for bitcoin payments.
This is how we onboard the next generation of bitcoiners.
Introducing Boardwalk Cash - the first dollar-based Cashu wallet built on top of #bitcoin and connected to #nostr.
We now have stablecash on bitcoin - completely interoperable with the lightning network.
Share your lightning address or invoice to receive dollars. Paste a lightning address or invoice to send dollars.
Boardwalk Cash connects to any nostr client via NWC. Zap dollars on nostr apps like @primal or on Discord with our Zap Bot.
This is a very early product and there are not many public mints, so use at your own risk. Yet, we’re excited to show some of what ecash and nostr can offer for advancing #bitcoin payments.


Boardwalk Cash
The easiest way to send and receive cash.

Better bitcoin payments with Nostr and ecash 👏

There will be more ecash wallets supporting @npub19hg5...yv9p in the next few weeks than lightning wallets. Why do you think that is? It's such a massive improvement in payments UX and so easy to implement, but lightning wallet devs seem largely unaware? Spread the word like @calle!

Bigger than expected #bitcoin numbers from $SQ:
- 21 mil customers used bitcoin (9% of the US adult population 🚨)
- 1.6 mil Cash App Card users used Bitcoin Round Ups (advanced feature)
- 8,038 bitcoin ($500 mil, 9% of total cash)
- Investing 10% of bitcoin GP into bitcoin
One of the more interesting outcomes is that trusted mints can increase their bitcoin (acquire bitcoin and issue ecash USD).
By running a mint, El Salvador’s could easily double its bitcoin and create a new profit center. Same for any country or pleb.
Plus USD ecash is a huge UX improvement for most people (today) and it’s completely interoperable with any bitcoin lightning invoice ⚡

USD ecash is coming to #Bitcoin 💰
Our latest update for
- Displays supported currencies and a new filter for USD mints
- Adds Fedimint name and module info (thx @Kody Low)
Bitcoin Mints
What's the biggest stablecoin use case you’ve seen that is NOT exchange or trading related? Lots of theoretical use cases, but I’m having trouble finding any real numbers. #asknostr $boost
This analysis has evolved now that there is bitcoin and nostr.


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)
