GM. Ecash is a scaling a privacy solution for bitcoin.
#weedstr needs #fedimint
I think the cannabis industry might be a strong candidate for the first industry in the US to adopt ecash.
They sit on piles of cash and have a hard time moving it. Their customer base is too paranoid because of too many dabs so want the privacy.

Stratum v2/Fedipools
Stratum v2 is the most important tech being developed in bitcoin.
It doesn't matter how many people can share 1 UTXO if the miners are too centralized.
One of the keys to decentralizing mining, imho, is to spread out the hashrate.
home and hobby miners. heating devices that happen to mine. A small amount of hash isn't that great if you need consistent payments on a regular schedule. More people can manage plugging in small amounts of hash. this decentralizes the hash more.
Enter fedipools and the poolimint module. ecash benefits. privacy preserving. offline capable. swappable.
Small miners already trust custody of low amounts of sats to pools. fedipool spreads out the trust/risk. pool operators no longer hold the funds as a single entity. similar to the unchained model, each guardian in a federation only holds one key. no threshold by themselves.
badass LN operators can jump into a fedipool as gateway operators and do what they do best, liquidity management.

Is this the appropriate response to very obvious scammers sending you a DM?
