I decided I need to go back to my origins and get back to use xmonad in my setup. First things first, have to fix screen resolution using xrandr and .xprofile #HardcoreLinux #xmonad

Thanks for pointing out the standardization towards using ecash. Updated the article with this.

Cashu eCash is bringing back true digital cash—private, bearer-based with instant transactions and built on Bitcoin & Lightning.

I’m really excited about what has been achieved so far and this whole exploration in general. In my latest post, I dive into what could happen if this system scales: competing mints, exchange rates, and even a Bitcoin-native credit market. No bailouts, just market forces at play.

Some of my takes might be controversial in the Bitcoin community, but these are conversations worth having.

This is the same entity that had it against #CustodiaBank during the previous administration because it wanted to deal with digital assets

To be fair, it doesn’t make much sense to run a single user mint just sending zaps is simpler as everything will boil down to that in this case.

The use case I see for eCash is to delegate the lightning node management (or whatever backing funds) - and the trust associated with it - while still maintaining privacy.

This is freaking awesome. The UX/UI improvements of this are massive. Question regarding offline payments, I don't see a way of guaranteeing no double spend.

Are you taking the approach that trust between customer/provider is required in this scenario? IMO, that's a total valid point. The service provider would swap the tokens as soon as it can to guarantee full ownership, right?

This is better. The state should stay away from getting involved in this.
