"Running Bitcoin." - Hal Finney, January 10, 2009

Today marks the start of the 4th Annual #RunningBitcoinChallenge in Hal’s memory. 🏃‍♂️

Let’s run for Bitcoin, ALS research, and Hal’s incredible legacy. Join us here: 🌐 https://runningbitcoin.us

Hal believed in a world where the computer can be used to liberate & protect humanity. This year's challenge runs for 21 days starting today — the anniversary of his legendary tweet.🌍

Run or walk 21 km, every step contributes to ALS research.🧠

I, Fran Finney, am co-organizing this challenge as Hal’s wife (twitter @franfinney). 💛

I love how this challenge keeps Hal’s vision alive and shares his story of hope and resilience. 🌟

Funds raised go to the ALS Network, supporting the Hal Finney ALS Research Fund:

💡over 80% of donations go directly to research

Running bitcoin is important to me because Hal’s iconic tweet marked the dawn of a new era of human freedom and flourishing. Hal was not only a legendary cypherpunk but also a passionate and accomplished runner. His courageous battle with ALS stands as a testament to his resilience and strength of character.

Participating in this challenge gives us the opportunity to celebrate his immeasurable contributions to advancing freedom in the digital age. By honouring and thanking a truly great man, we strive toward the ultimate goal of finding a cure for ALS/MND in his memory.

Starting Jan 10 - Running Bitcoin Day - enter the challenge as an individual, create your own team, or join nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszxmhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhyctwvajhq6tvdshxgetk9uq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2a30qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv4uxjapwwp6kyqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx27rfwsh8qatzqyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcqyqna67xzvfjxack68lnd7cc6jle375ehmtsrrzw0ysa8vyrxlln9s4hezyx .

Thanks to the Running Bitcoin Challenge, January was my most active month last year, and I went on to run 2,785 km over the year. Getting start is easy; apparently, stopping is less so!

Challenge yourself to run/walk at least 21km - one Hal Fin - between Jan 10 and Jan 31. All while raising funds in aid of the Hal Finney ALS Research Fun, nostr:npub14fkfcx9j0494g8zejfdxsr9t8raxt9n8vzkz6l5w4ef0gjysh4dqcsmkgv ‘s chosen charity!

Visit www.runningbitcoin.us to get involved.

Nice one Calle!

It sat there unclaimed for several hours! Proof that no one has built a bot yet to scour nostr for any unclaimed e-cash that’s lying around…

We’re so early!

Cashu is not an alternative to non-custodial Bitcoin. Nothing beats holding your own keys.

Cashu Ecash is for custodial systems that respect user privacy, have better censorship resistance, and allow half-offline peer-to-peer payments that are instant.

The days of corporate blockchains are over. They make no sense at all, they're centralized, and they are peak inefficient. Ecash beats all of that. It's fast, lightweight, and cheap. If you're running a service, you should consider integrating Ecash for your users.

There are already dozens (!!!) of mints out there, run by organizations, companies, or communities. Among these companies are custodians, wallet providers, LSPs, and online shops.

When will we see the first ecash in-game currency?

Cashu now has native mobile wallet apps, headless server wallets, web wallets that work in the browser, and wallets for social media clients. We have mint implementations in Rust, Python, Golang, and like 5 other languages.

We have tiny invisible wallets that live in web pages.

We're working on an authentication scheme that balances operator control and user privacy as best as possible. You can decide who can use your mint.

We have a dozen different open-source libraries and wallets that are improving every day.

It's all yours.

We're just getting started and the new year is going to be massive. After two years of crazy work on an entirely new protocol, things are starting to take shape.

We have a vision which is to bring Bitcoin to every corner of the internet. Ecash will bring us there.

Thank you everyone who believed in us, especially those who contribute to this project. Cashu has become a place where you can improve your coding skills, learn to collaborate, work on open-source, and do literal magic ✨ (cryptography).

Next year is going to be massive 🫡🥜
