GM nostr! Shoutout to all the people silently going through crap in life but can't share because no one would understand.

Ok I've built this for fun and it's incredible.

A Cashu gateway: it's a normal Cashu user who has a Lightning node (or another Lightning payment backend). Everyone can act like a gateway as long as the mint supports ecash HTLCs (NUT-15).

If you as a Cashu user know of such a gateway, your wallet can send your Lightning payment request to it instead of to the mint.

The gateway responds with an amount (it can take a fee). If you agree, you send it ecash, and it pays your Lightning invoice. The process is atomic.

What does that mean? Let's think a little ahead and imagine this was deployed on a significant scale.

Even if the mint is full KYC for peg-in and peg-outs, a user could still make Lightning payments anonymously with the help of other users.

(!!! this alone would be huge !!!)

This would also enable us to make on-chain-only mints which opens up a whole new way of building mints (reserves could be in a multisig for example).

Crazy part: Gateways can be lazy and use custodial Lightning backends. The user doesn't care as long as the invoice gets paid.

Yes. That means you could use your Strike or Blink or LNbits account to act as a Gateway for a Cashu mint you like.

There could be many of crazy people like you. Nobody would ever know. Neither the mint. nor your LN service provider would notice. They all just see invoices.

It gets weirder. Gateways could use *another Cashu mint* as an LN backend. I know sounds like an inception nut but bare with me.

A user of mint M1 can ask a gateway of mint M1 to pay an invoice. The gateway could pay the invoice via mint M2 and receive ecash from M1 in return.

I always thought "you could run a mint for a thousand users on a Strike or a Blink backend without them even noticing the smallest thing".

Now I think you could probably run a mint for 100k users without them noticing, if there are other gateways handling payments for everyone.

Note: this is still experimental. Only paying works right now over the gateway, not receiving (more complicated).

The bast part though is that it doesn't require any Cashu protocol changes and the mints don't have to give you permission to do this.

It's all pretty nuts.

Totally buying this. nostr:note12zlp04gswzeg0gecmp4jyq4h8j4e8mfc900cy0eax859g8w90r9q5afk3m

You know of those legends of a mythical race that lived on Earth many millinea ago, a vast civilization with advanced technology that was completely wiped out and forgotten for eons? That's us.

🚨Announcing Satoshi 7B 🚨

The team and I are proud to release Satoshi 7B: the most “based” LLM in the world.

After almost nine months of experimentation, we’ve got something we’re proud enough of to open source & share with the world.

Tuned like no other model to date.

Satoshi7B is designed to produce responses that do NOT fit the current political overton window, or Keyensian viewpoints. We built a custom data-set from scratch, with a deep rooting in libertarian principles, Austrian economics and #Bitcoin literature.

The result is a model that excels where others fall short.

It knows that there are two genders

It knows that Ethereum is a shitcoin

It knows that inflation is economic stupidity.

The Satoshi 7B is ideal

for anyone who’s tired of using #mainstream models (whether open or closed source) that:

Avoid answering controversial topics,

Regurgitate wikipedia-esque answers,

Pre and post-frame responses with apologetic excuses, or

Flat out tell you the blue sky is green.

Size & availability

Satoshi 7B is #opensource and freely available for anyone to use, modify, and enhance.

As the name suggests, it’s a 7 billion parameter model, but despite the size, it outperforms GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 on a few key benchmarks related to Bitcoin, economics and what we’ve termed “basedness” which is a kind of non-woke-truth score.

(See links in comments to use / download)

First of its kind

This is the first of a whole suite of Satoshi models we intend to train & open source.

In the coming months, we’ll enhance the dataset further, and train a 30B model.

Finally…

All language models just represent a model of the world and are inherently biased. So I hope you appreciate Satoshi 7B’s intrinsic austrian leanings, Bitcoin maximalism and overall “based” cultural and philosophical bias.
