ZEUS Pay is expanding to THREE different address types in ZEUS v0.11:

- 🥜 Cashu addresses for newcomers. Pick your mint and start receiving zaps right away.

- 🔒 Zaplocker addresses. The first ever self-custodial Lightning addresses for mobile.

- 🦩 Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) addresses for remote node runners. Generate invoices directly from your node. No need to redeem.

Options for every step of your journey. Bitcoin payments your way.

Okay but when fees are “too high” pinky promise you won’t complain?

My thoughts on the Bitcoin mempool/fees:

Cashu is coming to ZEUS.

truly what matters above all else

Gm,

Gonna spend the day today with my friends going door to door encouraging people to vote socialist

The real reason Canada is in this mess is we don't pay enough taxes

In the next 50 years, yes it will be largely conducted by professionals as a commercial venture. As the incentives (block reward) diminish it will drive ASIC chips into more everyday products. Water heating, heating etc

It will be a waste of power to not use an ASIC if your primary goal is heat energy.

solo miners are not in it for profit. imagine 10m bitcoiners running their own 10 th/s miners each. i'd compare solo miners to a small batch côte du rhône wine maker or a gruyère cheese producer in the swiss alps. not chasing scale, just preserving quality and independence.

halvings will continue to slash the block rewards. regardless of bitcoin price, because of low transaction fees, many miners are already struggling. like you said, every business needs to make money. now we have solo miners, and they will increase their hashrates exponentially as bitcoin adoption grows. this is great for bitcoin, but not so great for miners.

If everyone stores their value, they will have an interest to run a miner, even just for heating. It will decentralize the network further. The commercial incentive for mining at scale will diminish over time.

What we need, is more simple miners, a few taps in an app to setup.

Solo miners will disrupt the current centralized mining structure. It might seem like a small effort now, but that will change as Bitcoin adoption grows

Will commercial mining be a thing in the future? Do commercial bitcoin miners (especially the ones with zero bitcoin on their balance sheets) have any future? I’d short the fuck out of them.

As long as inflation exists and central banks and commercial banks continue to print money through fractional reserve system, Bitcoin’s primary use case will remain a store of value.

We built lightning to make bitcoin transactions faster and cheaper. but once congestion on layer 1 eased, we started complaining about empty blocks. Eventually, layer 1 will become significantly more expensive and will primarily be used by central banks and large institutions.
