Nostr Web Client

This happened during a demo of Tollgate, a tool for OpenWRT routers which let's users pay for WiFi with sats-denominated ecash. Friend of mine connects his phone to the wifi hotspot and is shown a captive portal that says it wants ecash from a certain mint. Friend doesn't have ecash. But I do.

I whip out my phone and create a 100 sat token, show it to him as a QR code, which he copies and pastes into the captive portal. A few seconds later, he's online. 1 sat = 1 minute internet.

We're just scratching the surface of what's possible.

Though this also shows the limitations of ecash. If that were a 127sat token, it'd be damn near impossible to scan.

I'm using cashu.me which supports animated QR.

Nice. Will look into this too. 👀

why is that?

It's 1 sat less than a power of 2 which is always nifty

Thanks for the sats Satoshi👍 Scanning on minibits worked fine.

Switch QR to the new v4 format, makes QRs much more readable. It's the default on latest Minibits.

That was a v4 format QR code.

Tap "New format" at the bottom for a v4. Should be in avg 30% more efficient.

This is hilarious since calle wants to charge 1 sat on every ecash tx. So 128 sats becomes 127!
