Tap-to-pay with CashuBTC ecash — for bitcoin.

Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere.

I always wanted that for Bitcoin.

Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.

In the video: two Cashu wallets for bitcoin.

Right: cashu.me (payer)

Ecash is sent directly via NFC — no internet, no delay. Beep, boop.

Ecash is a bearer token — the money lives on your device, not on a server. That’s why it pairs so well with NFC. Pick an amount, tap to send. No talking to servers. No syncing. Just push it over. The payment is pretty much instant. A PoS can accept ecash from any mint and receive payments via Lightning.

Still early days, but we’re experimenting. Card-to-phone works, but phone-to-phone? That’s the real killer use case.

Apple famously locks down the iPhone’s NFC chip — good monopolist.

F*k that. I found a workaround.

As long as one phone (ideally the PoS) is Android, you can send data both ways between iPhone and Android.

(You don’t really own your iPhone.)

Peace!

Bitcoin person to person payments.

That easy…

Theres just no reason to have PNC, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Blackrock, US Gov’t, Chinese Gov’t, Paypal, Venmo, or any of those companies to take our money and pay somebody FOR US and take a cut EVERY FUCKING TIME when there ways now that we can just do it ourselves 🤷‍♂️

My wife and I just paid a tree service yesterday, and they charged us over $50 for literally no reason other than to cover the costs of Visa.

Meanwhile if that company had just accepted Bitcoin payments, the transaction would’ve cost $0.03 🙄

Just feel like i’m getting tired of waiting for everyone to figure out how to help themselves and help society. Its like people only ever complain about money, but don’t take the time to look at it and see what exactly it is they hate, and how to change the shit they hate!
