Tap-to-pay with CashuBTC ecash — for bitcoin.

Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere.

I always wanted that for Bitcoin.

Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.

In the video: two Cashu wallets for bitcoin.

Right: cashu.me (payer)

Ecash is sent directly via NFC — no internet, no delay. Beep, boop.

Ecash is a bearer token — the money lives on your device, not on a server. That’s why it pairs so well with NFC. Pick an amount, tap to send. No talking to servers. No syncing. Just push it over. The payment is pretty much instant. A PoS can accept ecash from any mint and receive payments via Lightning.

Still early days, but we’re experimenting. Card-to-phone works, but phone-to-phone? That’s the real killer use case.

Apple famously locks down the iPhone’s NFC chip — good monopolist.

F*k that. I found a workaround.

As long as one phone (ideally the PoS) is Android, you can send data both ways between iPhone and Android.

(You don’t really own your iPhone.)

Peace!

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

On August 10, 1998, a 20-ton section of the Titanic’s hull, known as the “Big Piece,” was successfully raised by RMS Titanic, Inc. after a two-year effort. Initially discovered in 1985 by Robert Ballard, an earlier attempt to recover it in 1996 failed due to bad weather.

After its successful retrieval in 1998, the artifact was conserved, split for transport, and displayed at various locations. Today, it is a central exhibit at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, attracting millions of visitors and providing a powerful, tangible connection to the historic ship.
