I have seen that a map exists with CashApp that shows merchants accepting bitcoin ( through square I am guessing ). Are there any plans to collaborate with square or cashapp to get that data into btcmap.org? Thank you!!!
btcmap.org is awesome! I am not sure how up to date their square bitcoin merchant map will be though. I am guessing the map on CashApp is created directly from data on merchants turning on the accept bitcoin toggle in square.
I think some merchants may turn on the accept bitcoin option and not know about btcmap.org. I want to shop with them ( and maybe list them on btcmap.org while I am at it).
Find local #bitcoin accepting merchant via the CashApp app.
1. click on the "Money" bank icon
2. click on "Bitcoin"
3. scroll down to "Ways to use bitcoin"
4. click on "Spend bitcoin"
5. allow location access (☹️ otherwise app crashes)
6. find your local bitcoin accepting merchants!

Where can I access this map without any account?
The problem I see with this design is that the server has to do L1 transaction + commit to locking funds up for possible time period without assurance from user that they will pay lightning invoice. I may be misunderstanding.
These problems could be mitigated with a fee that has to be played before the L1 transaction but I would like to hear your ideas for mitigation nostr:nprofile1qqszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsud80st
Thanks! Very interesting idea!
I agree! Optionality is the way! (I don't like bip 177)
What's stops people from self zapping to boost there post even if everything was verifiable?
The gateways are separate from guardians. I believe the guardians must approve the gateways for their federation but anyone can run a gateway. The gateways are coded in such a way where the guardians and users never have custodial risk with the gateway.
I've learned a lot about fedimint from this guide: https://fedimint.org/docs/intro
Also a federation can have multiple lightning gateways. Users select which gateway to use.
You can withdraw onchain from fedimints which is not supported in cashu I believe.
I am very excited for this. I believe the settlement time for this transaction could be very low.
1: NFC to move ecash tokens to merchant device
2a: if merchant trust mint, reissue ecash to themselves.
2b: if merchant does not trust mint, sweep with lightning to themselves.
The case for 2b is a little more complicated because the sweep would incur fees that the merchant may want to charge the customer for.
Overall though this seems like a super good payments flow, I love it!
