Cashu is, AFAIK, the only chaumian ecash implementation that is “live” on bitcoin/lightning. Fedi (the for-profit entity working on the FOSS Fedimint protocol) says they’ll ship something this quarter sometime.
Cashu, being live, lets us play with chaumian ecash on bitcoin. It gets me more excited about chaumian ecash than just talking about something that might come…
GM to everyone getting some work done before Church
Have been to the first two mining meetups, both top notch.
Happy Friday friends...
New Music Friday - this guy, Vivandi? Vivaldi? Doesn't matter. The guy dropped a new mixtape. 🔥🔥🔥
So bullish on Chaumian Ecash, Federated Mints. Cashu (a non-federated chaumian ecash mint) is up and running and works. Send lightning liquidity in and receive ecash, ecash can send lightning out (or Ecash if anyone took ecash).
On one hand, providing robust demand for blockspace is good. On the other, it encourages out-of-band payments to pools which in its current state are unable to be verified by miners, to ensure they are compensated fairly.
Here's hoping... No dog in the fight just want to see a good game! #[1]
