I'm learning about Steganography: the practice of concealing information within another message. More specifically, I'm learning about Least Significant Bit Steganography, which changes the color of a pixel in a parent image (in this case a meme) by an indistinguishable amount to communicate the information that is hidden.

Like an an invisible watermark.

Within this meme is a secret QR code that holds 10,000 sats worth of e-cash. The money is in the meme.

E-cash, secret messages, signatures, or even private keys (though I wouldn't recommend it) could be hidden in plain sight within an image.

So instead of sending long text strings like "cashuBo2Ftdmh0dHBzOi8..." you can just pay people in memes, which I think is pretty cool.

Very nice. Apps could generate custom images for each invoice instead of boring QR codes.

That would be super cool!

QR codes do have the benefit of being scannable by any basic camera app, which is useful in some cases, but I agree that Bitcoin transfer methods being restricted to QR codes and copying random strings of characters to the clipboard is uninspired
