Cake uses Electrum which basically doxxes your addresses to the server operator.
ZEUS uses Neutrino, which takes longer to sync, but is privacy preserving. More details here: https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/faq/#where-can-i-read-more-about-neutrino-and-the-privacy-that-block-filters-provide-when-syncing-zeus-to-the-blockchain
Yup! nostr:nprofile1qqsyrhshwxsrrz3anwd0nlc6ps78hyrgvl9x6njagv6630ukpvwnyscpy9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumtfdej8xtnrdakj7mn0wd68ytmkxyhhwucpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchs6l02sz do you run your own electrum server? That's how to get the best of both worlds.
Dude! nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpqr7dky4udgx664qf2rrnvpp65sp2ruq9dv9pt0pwnvlvar53ajawsl8kcc2 look sick! I was in the Caribbean recently thinking to myself there needs to be a circular economy here.
PV nostr!!! π€
You crazy motherfuckers memed it into reality.
WE ARE FREE.
Just signed a lease for an epic place to rest for a while in #CostaRica while we decide whatβs next for us. Then looking forward to checking out nostr:npub1r7dky4udgx664qf2rrnvpp65sp2ruq9dv9pt0pwnvlvar53ajawstht8k3 later this year, and getting more involved in #Bitcoin #CircularEconomies and #Education projects world-wide. DMs are open, we are ready to put in the PoWπ₯
We are out here putting Bitcoin to the ultimate test. Living on Sats. SoV+MoE. Never fucking going back to fiat world. Love you all βοΈπ§‘β‘οΈ

nice! congrats! whereabouts in Costa Rica?
"How does the recipient verify the spending conditions?"
The recipient needs to know the pubkeys of the mint (and ideally, establish a trust relationship) before they go offline.
"What if the receiver doesn't claim it?"
The spending conditions include a timeout clause so the sender can claim the token back if the receiver never claims it.
"What if the recipient is online but the sender is offline?"
No problem. The sender does not need to be online to send ecash. The recipient can swap it immediately with the mint.
"What if they are both offline?"
If the sender knows the recipient's pubkey before they go offline they can lock some ecash to the recipient's pubkey when they are online and transfer some or all of those tokens to the recipient while both parties are offline. Any unspent ecash can be reclaimed by the sender (err, the would be sender) when the timelock runs out.
The sender must first swap with the mint for an ecash token locked to the receiver's pubkey. The mint will not allow this token to be swapped again without a valid signature from the private key that corresponds to the receiver's pubkey. This guarantees that no one else can spend that ecash token, not even the person who created it.
Cashu can't quite do offline sending, only half offline.
have you tried claude? it's basically this.
i've been thinking a lot about moving bitcoin transaction relay to nostr
should i give a talk at nostr:nprofile1qqs0zqyq74avavecxlreqte2ugu5hc7q867qwg386pmeflmd00hdnhqgl4q0e?
this will definitely cut into my development time
π€£π€£π€£
i haven't heard that one but it's really good
never change, rednecks β₯οΈ
wouldn't be surprised if he's a bitcoiner, his name is ben
i can change the world
with my own two hands
make a better place
with my own two hands
make a kinder place
with my own two hands
but you got to use
your own two hands
cashu on documenting bitcoin u love to see it!
Yeah the ecash idea would require the mint to be aware of nostr events and poll for them periodically to ensure the relay doesn't broadcast too early or too late.
oh snap i just realized! happy layoffiversary to me ππ»π₯³
Countercountercounterpoint: if it's imperative then how did people perpetuate society before governments?
Government's only role is to enforce contracts between consenting individuals. They got no business dictating the terms of the contract or changing those terms when the contract is violated. Both practices are so common for marriage contracts that people actually believe it's good and right. It is not.
oh snap i forgot the most important factor! π
the kiss scam scandal was engineered to distract from the epstein list
come on sheeple! it's an obvious psyop!
the plumber couldn't find any problems except that our cleanout cap was not glued on properly, so he glued it on. it's been that way for years
that was a few hours ago. it seems to be getting better! i'll wait til tomorrow before i declare victory but wtf Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
that is a really good idea! gonna try it!
The George Selgin free banking thread yesterday got a lot of discussion. Y'all should hop on stack overflow and keep it going!
Nailed it!
Imagine a proxy mining pool that operates as a community ecash mint and mines up lightning liquidity from block rewards.
Package it up as a self-hostable binary and suddenly anyone on earth (or off it) with access to electrical generation capacity can bootstrap a local economy from nothing.
This is the future I want. A more free and fair world for my kids' kids.
Ecash is worth so much engineering effort! Not because it's custodial but because of the freedoms it enables.
Arguing about who was a bitcoiner first is bad opsec and irrelevant.
I agree with everything else in the above note. βοΈ
My zaps work because they go to a cashu mint operator who does a pretty good job of maintaining their lightning node. This screenshot was from trying to zap someone else. Probably 20-25% of my zaps fail this way.
