People who are excited by posthumous fame forget that people who remember them will soon die too. And those after them in turn. Until their memory, passed from one to another like a candle flame, gutters and goes out.
But suppose that those who remembered you were immortal and your memory undying. What good would it do you? And I don't just mean when you're dead, but in your own lifetime. What use is praise, except to make your lifestyle a little more comfortable?

I literally spend the zaps I receive on Nostr on buying domains and renting servers.
We've already heave reached cypherpunk heaven. This is it how it feels.
Not really a limit but there is a statistical probability distribution of the number of proofs you'd have to transmit for each target amount.
Thinking in "QR codes per dollar" or "satoshis per second" – I love ecash math 🧡
"The above means that if we think of most payments as 5-10 proofs payments, and each proof is about 100 bytes, and each Version 10 QR code can carry 100 bytes, we should be able to make just about any payment under $500 with 10 QR codes' worth of data depending on the error correction level one might aim for. Using Fountain Codes, you can expect this to be transmitted in 10-16 codes, somewhere around 1-3 seconds depending on the delay between QR codes."
There is a Moksha instance on Mutinynet with on-chain support.
Pretty sick: mint ecash via an on-chain payment and pay Lightning invoices with the ecash.

Damn yeah that's cool! Imagine a machine literally minting ecash and popping it over via QR to the phone 😍
✨ A new Cashu wallet and mint implementation just dropped: Gonuts (written in Go)
philosophical question mr nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
would it be possible for cashu to be denominated in a different unit other than sats?
Yes, we've already built this in into the protocol with future extensions in mind 👌
Ship code, read philosophy. It's simple really.
I wish you success for your journey 🫡
These reasonings are unconnected: "I am richer than you, therefore I am better"; "I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better." The connection is rather this: "I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours;" "I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours." But you, after all, are neither property nor style.

Abstracted #Bitcoin lightning network made of up to 6 layers of hand painted and glued wood. 40x40cm, 18mm thick.
…and yes, two nodes are obviously not very well connected. 👀

Beautiful 😍
Man I don't get it, it's such an extremely popular wallet....
Do you have a link for that?
Is this account real?
I agree, this would be cypherpunk af
Yeeeeesssssss!!! P2PK nuts on the web here we go!
nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz imagine! could mutiny or other nwc wallets do this?
Can be, depends on what your LN address was when you pressed. Copy the nut and redeem it manually to be sure.
🐻🔫😘
I think not yet. enuts.cash is an amazing wallet but it doesn't have lightning address support yet. cashu-address.com is also cool for a web browser
I aw the lib. I'm impressed that you seem to have implemented v0 and v1!
Everything is a shitcoin, only Bitcoin is king. All these systems take your Bitcoin and you just trust them to get it back.
That's fine with me but what I'm not fine with is that these systems describe their internal shitcoin properties as if they translate to the properties of the Bitcoin they hold (remember: your Bitcoin).
Bitcoin maximalists should be wary: ok your shitcoin is non-custodial, who cares?
It's an unruggable mint idea, it reminds of Ark but it's on Lightning and with ecash. I just need those NFTs to work though. The rest (Lightning part) seems ok enough to keep following the idea.
I just cited this btw, I'm not the author. And yes, it depends on the integrity of the MPC but it seems to have a threshold (n-of-m) for the number of honest participants.
You keep on degrading yourself, soul. But soon your chance at dignity will be gone. Everyone gets one life. Yours is almost up, and instead of treating yourself with respect, you have entrusted your own happiness to the souls of others.

Yes, that's wrong as well: Shitcoins are open decentralized networks. You can always run your own shitcoin node and move your funds. With ecash you can't just join a federation.
I think Lightning cannot be audited (except if all channel partners somehow come together and report their balances, and you have no unannounced channels)...
Gm and Merry Xmas Jeff!
Yeah we didn't optimize for size *at all* yet. Token encoding is purely client-side, cashuA... is base64, cashuB... will be binary.
Btw, you're the first person I've ever seen who managed to get a triple-nut token scanned. Since the problem can't be solved generally, the real solution is animated fountain QR codes.
BREAKING: Lightning channel management costs highly correlated with Bitcoin fees, experts say.
“Ecash is the fastest way to send money on the internet” - Robin Linus, creator of BitVM and BitStream.
He’s right. With Pay-to-Pubkey in Cashu, we can even get to payment speeds almost as fast as data packages traveling through the network. The receiver Carol creates a public key and shares it with the sender Alice. Before sending money, the Alice prepares her ecash with one round-trip to the mint to lock it to the pub key of the receiver Carol. The sender Alice now has ecash that can only be spent by Carol (or by herself after a time lock).
That way, we can send ecash from Alice to Carol over the network without the Carol having to make another round trip with the mint to know whether the ecash she received was already spent. If it is locked to her pub key (which she can immediately check) and if the mint has provided a valid signature (which she can check as well), the transaction is final.
Ultrafast payments like these should take a couple of milliseconds if the network is fast enough.
