The concept of open-pleb by nostr:nprofile1qys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn9d9h82mny0fmkzmn6d9njuumsv93k2tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsqgxyk5mf48dj0ghphjtmyha2fp3dnl86w36sdv0jwtu0fvmtsykm6c90er2r is amazing (still WIP). It's a marketplace to match (1) a seller who has bitcoin but would like to pay a fiat QR code and (2) a buyer who has fiat and would like to stack non-KYC Bitcoin.

(1) seller walks into a store, chooses goods and has the option to pay via QR code (could be alipay or a million other payment systems globally). They put up an equivalent amount of ecash with a coordinator who then starts looking for someone on the other side.

(2) gets a notification and opens app to see there's a QR code waiting to paid. They pay the QR code and provide a proof to the coordinator.

If both users agree that the payment has taken place, the coordinator sends (1) the sats that (2) has put up.

If this works this is IMO the best way for stacking Bitcoin. No exchanges, just two regular people with two separate wants that meet each other on the internet.

That's impressive if the volumes get high enough to not cause friction and/or inability to match people.

Excellent concept. Top marks for Gandalf.

yep, quite similar concept to https://bitblik.app just with LN hold invoices (like nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnnv968xarjv9kxjcfwvdhk6tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcqypp4ydudlkw92thuqvsrasxw9zr992ls79fen2cxs9fpdt5r42vussnu67e ) instead of ecash.

here's the faq: https://github.com/bitblik/client/blob/main/assets/faq/faq_en.md

nice!

I think this is too slow to be used my someone who is waiting on the grocery's queue.

But it seems to be something that robosats is doing, or is doing most of it and can adapt

Yes this is the main issue for some cases but for many others people wouldn't mind a delay.

It's possible to be done with Robosats nowadays but clearly it's not obvious, so nobody is aware of it.

I think the only thing missing to make things easier is allowing the Robot to use blossom servers to upload pictures or the QR itself. Nice feature to work on 😁

yes speed is crucial for this ux to be decent. my hope is that at some point there will be automated taker bots, that will take and pay offers, then upload receipt automatically. will only work to the degree that a fiat provider is automatable though...

Devs vibe code that

It's almost similar to #Bitzon on #Telegram... It works with Amazon orders only and you can choose the premium fee you would save on the buy... The other side pay cash and you will receive the order🎩⚡

yooo nostr:nprofile1qys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn9d9h82mny0fmkzmn6d9njuumsv93k2tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsqgxyk5mf48dj0ghphjtmyha2fp3dnl86w36sdv0jwtu0fvmtsykm6c90er2r

I hope this project wasn't abandoned, the idea is so good!

Not abandoned :] had some personal things that needed my focus. Will resume work on it in ~1 Week

One of my finished but abandoned projects from January (integrated Russian QR codes only)!
