No, they are generally happy because it fucking rocks.

Meh πŸ˜‘

"The Nostr network" maybe but "The Nostr"

- doesn't make sense

- doesn't sound good

- isn't funny

Pass!

Weeeeeeeeee

Good analogy for how Chaumian mints work:

You enter a casino and buy poker chips with Lightning. The chips all look the same. You can pass those chips around to other players.

When go back home, you give the chips back at the counter and get your money back on Lightning.

πŸ₯œ

It feels so damn great to top up an anonymous e-sim card with Bitcoin paid from a Chaumian mint.

I don't sell Bitcoin, I spend it.

Well with snort and amethyst, I'm covered

PSA: as long as you're not using a Cashu wallet that can be restored from a seed phrase (currently: Nutshell-py, Nutstash Alpha, soon: all of them), things could go wrong and you could lose ecash due to some weird bug. Please treat it with care and only use small amounts. I'm very serious about this. I don't hold more than a few dollars worth of ecash myself in non-deterministic (seedless) wallets.

BUT HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS:

Determinisitc wallets are so much safer. Even if something goes wrong, you can just revert time and restore your entire balance.

Fucking creepy

If your exchange account doesn't look like this, are you even a real Bitcoiner?

Yes it would work but would be very risky to enter your seed anywhere (depending on what else you use the Bitcoin wallet for). The Cashu derivation path will be different from the on of your Bitcoin wallet though, so no interference expected.

The zapping UX on primal is so good.

Quoting a fellow pleb: "Bip32, which is used to generate deterministic wallet starting from a seed, makes use of PBKDF2 with sha512 as pseudorandom function. This makes the the process not reversible."

TIL .... shit still learning Bitcoin basics

Nope, I'm not sure what a stability pool is but it should be easy to build Cashu on top of stablesats (and have fiat-denominated ecash).

For the second half of this year, I will focus a lot more on integrating Cashu with Nostr and really identifying the strongest possible synergies:

- wallet to mint communication via nostr (IP privacy)

- user-to-user nostr contact lists, ecash transfers, ecash inboxes

- nostr wallet connect with ecash wallets

- collaborative wallet protocols for proof of liability checks

- and possibly more!

Pizza day at Paralelnipolis was incredibly inspiring and full of based people. It felt like a hacker's refuge, an island disconnected from market speculators, lifestyle grifters, and polarizing ideologues.

Cypherpunks write code. And they prepare for the worst.
