Be your own Tether

Makes no sense from a service or privacy perspective but it's fun and you can fuck around and find out without risking losing any funds.

If you don't have a 2FA Yubikey or another FIDO compatible device, you should get one. I see passkey support on the web more and more. Hope that soon passwords will die, for real this time.

Alternatively, Google sells the Titan security key for only 35 bucks and it's fully FIDO compatible.

Just get one anon.

I would like to be able to publish to > 100 relays. Can this ever be possible without using a blastr?

Just listened to nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx talking about cashu, awesome rip. Calle very good at explaining ecash clearly and honest about tradeoffs.

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg - not sure if you will see this but a quick question: How would an honest mint unwind/close? Would they basically need to wait for every user to send their ecash out the mint to another mint or lightning invoice? Or can they just decide to move everyone’s ecash themselves to a different mint and just close theirs?

The mint doesn't know what the ecash looks like so it can't "move" it for the users.

The way to go is to disable deposits, only allow withdrawals and give users a long enough time to peg out while making regular announcements.

People told me that this episode of Citadel Dispatch with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx was what made it click for them.

If you've been sleeping on Cashu and Chaumian Ecash in general, give this rip a listen. We go into depth of what this tech means for Bitcoin.

Please merge into spec GM-01 if you have zero objections.

I'm sorry but this should be a second layer.

#gmprotocol has been waiting for an open system like Nostr to truly blossom.

Yes, afaik DLC's don't have a mandatory lifespan. Any backend that can pay / receive on LN with a fiat balance would work (plus a bunch of other specific requirements).

This step is not atomic, you trust the mint to give you ecash. I don't think you can do it atomically.

My 39.

Enjoying the moments of my life:

❤️‍🔥 A moment of weakness: the hardest memories in my 15 years of human rights work are the meetings of families with released political prisoners.

I thought that after having had over 100 such meetings, I could be less emotional.

I can't. An image from my childhood of first losing hope from the lawlessness of the regime towards my family, and then the endless joy of being able to hug my brother, who was released after being kidnapped from the hospital, comes back to me every time.

But every time you feel a wave of joy at the happiness in the eyes of family members in hugs with their loved ones, your pain disappear. You witness the steely hurt in the eyes, the facial expressions from reliving the nightmares of the political prisoners who were released. You see the love that sustained them and helped them through this journey. That moments move you forward and stimulate your work when others disbelieve that it’s possible. Everything is possible.

🧡A moment of strength: I remember vividly the losses, the experienced ups full of love and the painful downs on the way to 39 years. Our love, our feelings and beliefs are getting stronger when we experienced ups and downs, when we fight for our beloved.

I remember the realisation of the moment, how life can be cut short in a matter of days. Everyone you love and everything you love can be shattered. What remains is the memory and the belief that you can overcome, you will love again. You used to say it to other politically repressed who had such experience, and than that moment came to you… you have to listen no matter how hard it was to say.

⚡️Importance of learning: You learn fast how important it is to live in the moment and how important it is to be able to first defeat your own consciousness and the minds of those around you, then the winning in the physical world is a matter of technique. Then comes the moment of power, not only yours but those who are with you in this struggle.

6 years later with this approach you can not only stop but defeat two of the three authoritarian regimes using the whole machinery of power against you and your family, your organisation.

🫶 How to fight back: Yep, it's possible. I have been able to walk this path because of my experience in defending the politically persecuted, friends, my brother who know how to share not only moments of joy but also how to hold a strike. Being all financially isolated, we were able to resist and defeat the attacks of the three regimes thanks to #bitcoin.

#SatoshiNakomoto is unlikely to read this post, but that doesn't mean I want to give him a huge thank you. For being able to stand up, to save the lives of those for whom human rights are not just a set of derring-do phrases and "fresh regret".

How do you feel at 39? Or how do you think you will feel at 39?

Happy birthday!

The eNuts TestFlight version has expired. Update the TestFlight version with the link below and send your ecash out to the actual App Store version and you're done.

Thank you to the nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj dev for handling this so well! Give them a zap if you want to support their work!

✨💎 Another Cashu Gem

Paid file upload service which can't link uploads to payments (i.e. works without user accounts) concept by nostr:npub1rach342hnt3wa0qfqk0pey0exs2drcxfc0azs8eurwnee9vu64vs834atg.

"Add an ecash wallet to the backend and use the "X-Cashu" header to send payments with your file uploads!"

That wasn't the question but thanks for the comment.

Starting to want to rewrite it all in Rust.

I just heard the scariest story in a while. Someone told me that they had been traveling in China and, on the way out, the border police pulled up a tool that showed countless photos of this person taken by public surveillance cameras during their visit.

These are CCTV cameras in public. Faces classified with AI. All data gathered in a central location. Don't even think for a second this is never going to happen where you live.

That's a level of dystopia I didn't know we were already in.

People still use Facebook? Woa

Omg I just saw the coolest shit ever. Someone opened a pull request on my post and corrected the spelling mistake.

Wtf nostr, you're insane.

It’s annoying and I always feel betrayed or disrespected as user when I get these things shoved into my face after I’ve said no to them once.

As far as I know, Scrit is the reason why Fedimint exists, and Fedimint is the reason why Cashu exists. Check out the original paper for Scrit, to my knowledge, the first federated Chaumian Ecash system.

I did the same after an uninterrupted series of crazy Bitcoin conferences last year. Has been going extremely well for me.

Thanks to nsec.app I can use npub.cash on my phone without entering my private key.
