When we launched the Club Orange Lightning wallet 14 months ago, we set out to build a faster, more social way to move Bitcoin. Today, after processing over 5 million transactions, we’re handing the keys back to our users. We believe Bitcoin is only truly revolutionary when you have absolute control. What this means for the Club Orange community: - True Self-Custody: Your keys, your coins. No middlemen. No permission required. This is Bitcoin as it was intended to be. - Interoperability: Your wallet is now fully portable. Use it across 100+ Spark-enabled apps or bring an existing Spark wallet into our ecosystem. - No Limits: We’ve officially removed the 1M sat cap for balances and transactions. While the "under the hood" tech has evolved, the experience you love remains the same. Features like GeoZap and ProximityZap works exactly as before, now backed by the security of self-custody. What’s next? Soon, you’ll be able to withdraw your sats to an on-chain address and buy Bitcoin directly in Club Orange. To our incredible members & supporters: thank you for trusting us with your precious sats and for joining us on this journey. 🙏 View quoted note →

Nobody wants to read AI-generated books, watch an AI-generated movie or listen to an AI-generated song.

Grok can search Nostr notes?

If you’re in the US and on @Club Orange check your zaps, I’m giving away some books. 📚

having some money is nice, but in the end only 2 things really matter: - your health - your relationships (including the one with god)

The man, the legend, the myth. Pizza man. 🍕 View quoted note →

Yesterday I drove around LA visiting merchants that accept Bitcoin to onboard them to @Club Orange One of those is a pizza place that gives a 70% discount when paying in Bitcoin. Yes ,70%. I couldn't meet the owner so I left a voicemail and my business card. This morning I found out he signed up with a lifetime membership and added an entire section about Club Orange on his website. Nobody talks about this enough, Bitcoiners are the most generous group of people you'll ever meet.

there's a simple way to know if we have reached AGI: we train a model on pre-2008 data only ask it to solve the double-spending problem in a decentralized & permissionless way if it invents Bitcoin from first principles we have AGI Satoshi Test > Turing Test

just so we're clear: miners are the employees of the bitcoin network the employers are: - people who hodl bitcoin and pay miners via inflation (block rewards) - people who use bitcoin and pay miners via transaction fees nodes are neither employees, nor employers; they are the enforcers of the employers desires the end

AGI is probably the single most bullish catalyst for bitcoin. The world is gonna get weirder, faster, and trust in institutions will erode. The need for neutral, permissionless, censorship-resistant money will explode

AI agents cannot sell bitcoin.

AI agents are gonna acquire all the Bitcoin.

We don’t need 1 company owning 1M bitcoin. We need 1M companies owning 1 Bitcoin each.

First time in 5 years I couldn’t find parking at the farmers market and went home empty handed. The economy is on fire.

i've been testing a new payment flow at @Club Orange all morning, and every time i got to the point of choosing fiat or bitcoin i picked bitcoin, not because of ideology, but because i didn't wanna type a credit card number bitcoin is, objectively, a superior payment system it just needs to be everywhere

all a man wants is a couple of great friends and a good wife

if you remove all the flaws from fiat you get bitcoin if you remove all the flaws from gold you get bitcoin

Is this the right way to use #nostr?

The silver lining of me spending days explaining to Apple & Google what is Nostr is that eventually i’ve learned a little trick: You can just resubmit an app update until you find a reviewer that doesn’t care. View quoted note →

The amount of time Apple and Google wanted us to remove Nostr login has been very eyes opening. View quoted note →
