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!

Ditching iPhone is on my todo list.

I am going to the Canadian National Blind hockey tournament today. I went last year and it was way beyond what I expected.

It was explained to me that the forwards typically have the better sight (they have some limited vision), the defense less, and the goalies even more so and are sometimes blindfolded to cut out glare.

They play with an oversized sound rattling puck. The pace for the national team tryouts was way beyond what I thought it would be given I had no idea how it worked or was played.

Heard your comment nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy with nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw on the Collison brother’s on All In.

The payments premium is going to get zapped to death by lightning. It can’t come soon enough.

Not so crazy aside, PM Carney was on Stripe’s board as I recall.

An aside - Marco Mendicino was the Minister of Public Safety during that ordeal, and he’s now the PMs Chief of Staff.

Good job nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz and crew. CBDCs are creepy.

If someone has that fork in the road CBDC vs BTC illustration please share.
