I was wrong. Thought there will not be demand for stable US$. Already over $2k tokens minted and $1.8k melted. it doesn't matter if Bitcoin price goes up or down..! You always need few $$ for pocket change...! #cashu mints provides exactly that...! Bullish...! Check it out... use cashu.me or boardwalkcash.com wallets to mint stable USD token...! image

Are you curious about what Nostr is? Are you working on a Nostr project? Want help setting up your personal Nostr clients? Come join us for a social evening as we co-work and discuss Nostr. 6-6:30pm will be networking with everyone giving a brief introduction of themselves and we'll go over some common resources for those new to Nostr development. 6:30 - 8pm is an open time to work, hangout, and chat! Come get help from folks with experience working with Nostr. The event is held in the FUSE room (to the right after you come in the main entrance) of the George Mason University Van Metre Hall Building in Arlington at 3434 Washington Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201. On some maps applications, the name Metropolitan Building is given at that address. No issue – it’s the same building renamed some time ago. Flockstr Link: Meetup Link: Contact @Dustin Dannenhauer for questions.

The idea for https://umint.cash is to reimagine a new stable mechanism that is fully automated, auditable and backed by Bitcoin that has no external dependencies to the legacy fiat world. image

Let's be realistic here. They did not have 1000s of locations.. Other than Miami conference it was not used anywhere in the US..! So this is more of business decision than regulatory closure. View quoted note →

It is always good to be in selling Dollar business... Just ask Tether... We started our stablenut mint https://stablenut.umint.cash with $100 in reserve. We were sold out within days.. So we scrambled to create a $1k stable channel to increase the reserve.. And. it is getting minted fast..! image

For all those Dumb takes on supporting Tornado cash and privacy doomers... here's an opposite argument... It is a known fact that Lazarus Group, a state-sponsored cyber-hacking group operating out of North Korea laundered over $500M through tornado-cash. Here are some examples of the damage they have inflicted: Financial Losses The Bangladesh Bank Heist (2016): Lazarus Group successfully stole $81 million from Bangladesh's central bank by hacking into the SWIFT banking system. This was one of the largest cyber heists in history. Cryptocurrency Thefts: They have targeted and stolen millions from cryptocurrency exchanges and users, with estimates ranging from hundreds of millions to over $1 billion stolen over the years. Bank Heists: In addition to Bangladesh Bank, they have stolen funds from banks in multiple countries like Ecuador ($12 million from Banco del Austro), Poland, and Mexico. Operational Disruption WannaCry Ransomware (2017): The WannaCry ransomware attack crippled over 300,000 computers across 150 countries, causing significant disruption particularly in healthcare systems like the UK's NHS which had to divert emergency patients. Sony Pictures Hack (2014): Lazarus Group stole massive amounts of data and destroyed 75% of Sony Pictures' internal servers, leading to reputational damage and the cancellation of the movie "The Interview" theatrical release. Critical Infrastructure Targeting Recent evidence suggests Lazarus Group targeted energy providers in the US, Canada, and Japan in 2022 by exploiting Log4j vulnerabilities to gain persistent network access, posing risks to critical energy infrastructure. The group's evolving tactics, including supply chain attacks and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, make them an persistent threat capable of crippling operations and causing major financial losses across industries and nations. Look at from the victim's standpoint. And imagine they use the money to create nuclear bomb and destroy human civilization?

Let's be super realistic here... 1) Mint is custodial. Can rug pull you anytime 2) Stablenut mint uses stable channel to balance USD. If BTC price cashes less than 50% then we will have to wait until the price comes back up 3) If you are thinking of using the USD tokens for any shady stuff.. we got your IP logged and will cooperate with any authorities to come after you. 4) If you want to hold your change ($5 to $10) on USD and spend anytime for zaps then this is for you..!
