Someday the world will wake up to the fact that privacy matters. Perhaps today will be the day for the guy I replied to in this thread (https://stacker.news/items/772609/r/supertestnet?commentId=772660):

NWC lets your social media apps remote control your cashu.me wallet

So if you want to zap someone's post on nostr, instead of clicking the zap button and then scanning a qr code with cashu.me, NWC can reach out to your cashu.me wallet and click the "send" button *for* you *and* enter the zap invoice *and* hit confirm, all without you needing to do anything

Same goes for receiving payments: if someone wants to zap *you,* NWC can let their wallet reach out to yours, get an invoice from it, and show it to them to pay it -- all without you needing to do anything

NWC streamlines the use of a lightning wallet without needing to open it up every time you want to do something with it

You're not a real bitcoiner unless you launch your own L2

WE NEED MOAR!!!

It's software for musicians. They can dd a bunch of songs and a place where they want to receive money and then it will create a website for them with a shareable link. People who visit the shareable link see all the songs and can vote with sats on their favorites and/or which ones to hear next. The top voter in each song also gets to leave a comment that other voters can see.

Yes, and I often do

But then people continue to advertise that ecash mints have perfect privacy so then I make threads like this one where I spell out exactly how they can compromise the privacy of any individual user or group of users with a penalty of loss-of-funds if they don't comply

Which means they are perfectly capable of enforcing shotgun KYC

Whereas a protocol with *actual* perfect privacy wouldn't have anyone in a position to enforce *any* kind of KYC

By blocking your API queries until you submit satisfactory KYC info and, until then, returning only error messages that direct you to a data collection page

> ...and thus lose your money, completing the proof: mints can enforce KYC requirements against any user and penalize the noncompliant

FTFY again, I agree it's fun

> Mints can pick and choose which users they want to steal from on the basis of any test they come up with, e.g. "Well only steal from North Koreans, or only from women, or only from Jeremy Hudson from Mobile, Alabama"

FTFY

Ecash mints are programs for running a mini central bank where people can deposit bitcoin, redeem it whenever they want, and in the meantime they get fast and cheap transactions with other users of that mint. They are pretty neat, especislly their privacy properties, but they come with most of the tradeoffs of custodial systems: the mint can steal anyone's money whenever they feel like it and can dmstart KYC'ing its users at any moment

bitcoin is also non-kyc, why not use that instead?

people who use stablecoins instead of bitcoin have reasons for doing so

I'm just trying to persuade them they are dumb reasons
