Father of time. Bitcoin.

This is exactly what I said. Deep fryers should never have been made a household common item.

nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 so I’m weird and like looking over website layouts and seeing if I notice things. One thing I did notice is this x button besides being off centered slightly is that it doesn’t work when pressed. Looking at source it doesn’t appear to be linked to any action. Not sure if clicking it should take me back to Home Screen or just close out and let me continue as guest on its own. Imo a go back button would be in better place of this. But just wanted to let you guys know, I’m digging the new layout for nest overall. Well done!!

hmm

Probably not their best idea. Reddit has not been the same in a long time.

YES

Fucking noice.

While a DC wave looks like this: this is what comes out of batteries.

So an AC wave is like this one: essentially this is what the electricity coming out of your walls looks like but most likely in 3-phase: meaning there is 3 of these lines intersecting to prevent a drop(when the line crosses the x axis) in voltage.

Tanel you know for a fact I would have you here. The big thing about electricity is understanding the difference between AC/DC which is really just the waves they produce. AC produces are curved wave. While DC produced a square wave.

Gonna be doing that with electricity and circuits with my son today

In case anyone is still confused about nuts or what it means and why we always talk about it (me today haha), here is my know-nothing dummy explanation and why this is a big deal IMO:

Cashu is an ecash protocol(is this correct?) created by nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg

People are calling them nuts because cashews are nuts... get it?

The terminology is irrelevant. They can be called tokens, air, water, chicken teriyaki.. it really doesn't matter! What matter is that this is a Layer 3 payment system that transfers tokens at the speed of light (or so I think). Lightning being layer 2, and bitcoin being layer 1.

The reason why this is a significant development is because now everyone has a cashu address. Thanks to amazing work by the legendary nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226 , if you go to npub.cash you can see that you already have an address to receive these layer 3 tokens, which just happen to be easily redeemable into lightning. This means that any new person who joins nostr automatically has (custodial) layer 3 payment access, which can swap into layer 2 and into layer 1 and into fiat if need be.

I don't know any of the underlying mechanics of this, I am not a genius like nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and what I have described could be incorrect, but it sure feels like this is roughly how things work.

Nuts are custodial, meaning a mint is holding your balance and can look up your npub to see if you have some. Once called upon, these nuts can be sent to another nutter (cashu wallet) or directly to a lightning address! This interoperability makes everyone a layer 2 user. All we need is a clever UX toggle / button / terminology to make it really obvious.

IF this were to be turned into a library that devs could include in their client code and "it just works", THEN it could be a game changer! No more directing people on how to get a wallet right as they join. They can experience the magic of bitcoin indirectly via layer 3 > layer 2 transfer all without knowing anything (as long as they can get on nostr).

In practice, this means anyone joining an audio nest, a zapstream, a flare.pub can automatically get paid. Yes, it's just tokens, and yes it's centralized and custodial, BUT, they see the value instantly and are only a click away from digging deeper. It's a STEPPING STONE that makes it significantly easier to get onboarded into the new paradigm.

I have not been this excited since the discovery of nostr itself! If I'm mistaken somehow, or don't understand things correctly, please let me know and forgive my dumbass 🤣 And if this means what I think it means, then let's make magic happen!

Wait…we aren’t just nutting all over nostr? Oh no….brb.

This is so beautiful Dr John. Glad to see Dr John quality on nostr!!!

Hell yeah. Nuttid here.
