I am thankful for the big hubs that do allow me to open a channel to them.

If they all blocked my little node from opening channels, how would I connect to the LN?

Percentage of people holding it in 15 years, or from the people that hodl today?

If it's the first, I'd say less than 1%...

How many people run their own servers?

And with tx fees at 50$ (or more, in 15 years), I don't see much self custody.

Also, if one has a utxo of such value in their cold storage, maybe think about consolidating before it's too late, otherwise it will be useless.

Imagine the "useless utxos", those of less than the current fees. Has anyone counted them?

silence.link doesn't exist, do you mean silence.im, the sms encryption tool?

Thanks, I see. It would very helpful if you could also receive sms. For authenticating services without KYC.

Hey nostr:npub19fyrjpsq87r62086pna2u69x39mtxryl5y44vnegucyrd3lhchjsqxd5hk , cool project!

A couple of questions:

1) Do your eSims only work in the country they're from, or do they work while roaming in other countries as well?

2) Do your eSims provide a phone number as well, at least for receiving sms?

I don't get it. How does this cap keep hanging without a hard fork?

Or is it only for creating new blocks, while validating existing ones can be of any size?

Then the sender is used once.

So the only public information is that a user has an incoming message from a random npub. Not much of an issue suppose.

This is awesome!

Your npub is npub1cq47m26ft2xh8c33jtapvxstsdzgy86gg35prv0gzravvk6cfaysa9sukg.

Send to npub1cq47m26ft2xh8c33jtapvxstsdzgy86gg35prv0gzravvk6cfaysa9sukg@cashu.me and check your messages

I wope up thinking about this exact idea, this is crazy.

But what I was thinking is that nostr message metadata are public, so having all cashu payments come to your inbox might not be great, privacy wise.

Is it possible to have 1 nostr npub that generates sub-npubs, like Bitcoin does with addresses?

So the forwarder (cashu.me) would know the main pubkey but each payment coming to a different address.

Bitboy sells hopium.

Btcsessions is a university.

A good bunch of people (I avoid saying "most") don't like learning, they just want to drool over the screen while releasing dopamine.

Strike has fiat on/off-ramps. You can't do that without KYC, this is the law.

You can get a Lightning wallet for transacting with the LN without KYC.

But only with sats, no $. Yet. Until stablecoins on LN are a thing.

I guess custodians are high risk when you don't have an easy way out: can't pull/send/withdraw more than $1k cash daily, or other similar restrictions.

With the chaumian mints being described, one can swap his whole stack to a different mint in seconds.

Thus bank runs are constant, not once in a generation. Thus, banks (mints) must behave accordingly.

An important point is that self-custody is important for savings amounts, not so much for pocket money.

On the other hand, a Californian's pocket money is savings (life-changing) for an African.

When someone works for pennies and they manage after months (years?) of hard work to save 100$, it would suck to move it to self-sovereign on-chain wallet and pay 10% in fees due to mempool congestion.

I guess there isn't a perfect solution (or I can't find it). But we're improving daily...

I guess this is why Mutiny PWA...

I see stablecoins as a trojan horse that will let bitcoin infiltrate and ultimately replace the fiat system.

I'd love a few free sats, why not?

Notification configuration should be very granular, letting the user decide (of course having some defaults) what fits them best.

They could choose to batch notifications every day or hour or something.

Or notify for single-payments over X sats and batch others.

UX is becoming more and more important, we are far from the beta testing geeks and into the mainstream now.

Damn, they got the domain and are misleading people...
