what’s one app you really like that there isn’t a nostr alternative for yet?

Cashu is not an alternative to non-custodial Bitcoin. Nothing beats holding your own keys.

Cashu Ecash is for custodial systems that respect user privacy, have better censorship resistance, and allow half-offline peer-to-peer payments that are instant.

The days of corporate blockchains are over. They make no sense at all, they're centralized, and they are peak inefficient. Ecash beats all of that. It's fast, lightweight, and cheap. If you're running a service, you should consider integrating Ecash for your users.

There are already dozens (!!!) of mints out there, run by organizations, companies, or communities. Among these companies are custodians, wallet providers, LSPs, and online shops.

When will we see the first ecash in-game currency?

Cashu now has native mobile wallet apps, headless server wallets, web wallets that work in the browser, and wallets for social media clients. We have mint implementations in Rust, Python, Golang, and like 5 other languages.

We have tiny invisible wallets that live in web pages.

We're working on an authentication scheme that balances operator control and user privacy as best as possible. You can decide who can use your mint.

We have a dozen different open-source libraries and wallets that are improving every day.

It's all yours.

We're just getting started and the new year is going to be massive. After two years of crazy work on an entirely new protocol, things are starting to take shape.

We have a vision which is to bring Bitcoin to every corner of the internet. Ecash will bring us there.

Thank you everyone who believed in us, especially those who contribute to this project. Cashu has become a place where you can improve your coding skills, learn to collaborate, work on open-source, and do literal magic ✨ (cryptography).

Next year is going to be massive 🫡🥜

Who are normies? What do they believe?

IMO the normie mind can be explained by the following 10 normie commandments.

1. Individual human action has low or no effect on the world.

2. Mainstream news is mostly honest and reflects reality.

3. Institutions are trustworthy

4. Thinking via convention is the only worthwhile thought pattern.

5. Comfort is the highest pursuit in life, both physical and psychological.

6. Consumption is desirable, creation is not.

7. Authority figures are legitimate and deserve respect.

8. Conventional career paths are the most valuable in our society.

9. You can’t predict what will happen next.

10. Risk is intolerable and should be treated as such.

What mint do you use?

Thinking of signing up with Casa. Anyone have experience with them?

I figure I can set up a multisig myself, but having a little extra insurance from a reliable 3rd party would be nice peace of mind

Slightly different approach… charge everything on Apple Card. Using Apple Pay gets you 2% back and they payout that cash back daily as Apple Cash. Transfer to Fold and buy Bitcoin with no transaction fees. Thank nostr:npub1x458tl7h9xcxa66vr4a8pg0h2qz96pnhwnfpcra0le9090uk5t5qw7armt for this one.

nostr:nprofile1qqswe03hyye2jv3msylwkj8cml8d4m9qpc5g0tccrvrrcm86z0kcaggpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc54uwrd I just used the "send max" in your wallet & it created a transaction & told me the fee & then after I hit send it told me I didn't have enough for a fee, & said I should send more to my wallet. That's not an acceptable bug. Send max should subtract the fee from the max amount (that's the whole point of a send max button).

It also seems that I can't swap from liquid back to bitcoin to bump the fee. For some reason the confirm button won't confirm the swap.

It is showing my bitcoin balance as zero, as though it has already broadcast it to the network, & is asking me to bump the fee. This is retarded.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.

You don't want easy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.

Easy is not putting on your running shoes.

Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.

Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.

Easy is compliance.

Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.

Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.

Easy is starting up the money printer.

Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."

Easy is not educating yourself.

Easy is not taking responsibility.

Easy is trusting a third party.

Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.

Easy is not having to think.

Easy is not having to understand.

Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.
