I dream in Nostr.

Watched a couple’a Andreas Antonopoulos videos, one in particular for IDEO which focused on how much #Bitcoin could benefit from better UX.

Even though the video was from 2015 or 2016, my graphic designer instincts kicked in.

I’ll be attending a birthday party for my grandson later today and it’s a perfect opportunity for me to chat with family about onboarding to Bitcoin and Lighting. And as I look at different apps I realize:

• Some require email and password to set up

• Some require email and first name to set up

• Some require writing down 12-word seeds to set up

And all these peeps at the party are not gonna have an easy way to remember the unique password they created, and writing down a 12-word seed phrase and keeping it safe is definitely gonna be new and scary.

And they’ll have to do this while at a party, drinking, and I doubt any of them even has a password manager to save the password and there’s no place to safely store a 12-word seed phrase while they’re out partying.

Out at a party isn’t necessarily a safe environment for securing passwords and seed phrases. Especially for noobies.

Thinking back to when I was orange pulled in 2017, person had me install Bread App on my Android smartphone, walked me through how to display a QR code, then sent me $5 of BTC from his Bread App. It was all 100% new and weird and odd to me. I don’t even remember if I had to enter my email and first name, or email and create a password. But I know for sure I didn’t have to write down 12- word seed phrase to set up Bread App, but I was told that I absolutely had to write down my 12-word seed phrase once I got home.

Graphic designer instincts kickin’ in and thinking about easiest on-boarding solutions for peeps who are drinking and having a good time and not thinking about passwords and 12-word seed phrases.

Pre-printed $1 or $3 tip cards that can be uploaded to any wallet... I swear SXSW had things like this in the 2010's 😂

I have been working on this thought problem... the Bitcoin paper wallets are one solution but it seems like there should be an easier way to gift LN sats.

Please for real let me know if you think of any ideas!

Having read some of nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk 's graciously shared emails and feeling ambivalent about it all...

To me, this is all that matters.

Also I just found this : https://wise.com

In the fine print you are absolutely not allowed to buy crypto, it's a Blackrock biz, but it might simplify the money madness.

You can exchange shitty money for shitty money, with ease!

Pablo have you tried using any of the btc debit cards there?

We are thinking about heading to Tigre Delta again but mostly bankless this time. I don't want to participate in their black market cambios...

Makes a world of difference. I stepped away partially out of frustration with the clients... Primal used to freeze randomly when I tried to post. My old Nostr workflow:

-read and use Primal until inexplicable freeze

-send note link and my draft to self via Notes app

-open in another client

-post note

-come back to Primal as a reader

iOS, but I gotta say coming back here for the first time since Christmas, it is 7x better than it used to be!

Interesting debate, except Signal has been compromised from its inception. 😝

Get ready to use #Bitcoin for payments at nostr:npub1h493d0qgwhu95s82zd9sxrt3ckn3ttgvaf04z02neckadxw5fkvqte4cwz !

Together with Bitcoinize and nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw we are rolling out Point of Sales for all vendors at the conference.

Those new to Bitcoin will use BoltCards and be happy - tap to pay and instantly settle over lightning ⚡️!

The best part: this setup is entirely FOSS!

You’re free to clone it, fork it… apply it in any way that serves your efforts to advocate and promote Bitcoin.

H/t to hodlhodl #BH2023 for being the first to deploy this setup.

We will not stop until every conference accepts Bitcoin payments.

Fiat is crumbling.

Let's make it obsolete!

Very nice video! I have been working on ways to onboard people as well, it is a difficult user path problem to solve.

Looking into BoltCards now!
