Justin likes cashu like Kamala likes press conferences
If you trust the mint then you can keep the cashu ecash. If you want to cash out (into lightning) you have that option with cashu. The mint will send to a lightning address.
So for the “pay another person” option, if the person takes ecash, you can send them a token. If they take lightning, you can pay the lightning invoice.
He’s probably just farting all over the North Pole also. Ugh, none of our grandchildren will have ocean front property!
Found the reason the sea levels are rising
I think the incompatibility of ecash tokens should be abstracted away.
I guess it could be abstracted away at the wallet level. I think that’s what Harbor was thinking about.
But I think the mints should do it. It should provide an API to the “other” ecash to convert. So if I send you ecash from Bobs mint, whether it’s cashu or Fedimint protocol, *any* mint could take it and provide you with a fresh one of *their* kind of ecash.
Now that I type the words, though, that sounds like it’s at the wallet level.
I’m really just thinking out loud. I think the ecash mint/melt/multimint swaps/cashu vs Fedimint is all just too confusing for me, and I’m kinda a little educated on this subject.
You should definitely follow me
You’re projecting.
I could listen to Kamala for hours. It would be very entertaining.
I want to add as many npubs as I can.
But I have no idea if I’ve already unfollowed this person previously.
A good feature would be to somehow keep my “dead to me” list and when presented with a “follow” link, make it blood red to know I shouldn’t do this.
What are the biggest threat vectors when using krux seed signer on yahboom like this:
- only connected to computer once, to flash firmware
- generate “good” entropy from camera (700k+)
- print QR code with attached printer.
- scan to get private key on boot up
- sign pbst from sd card
- transfer signed transaction on SD card to pc
- broadcast from sparrow on pc
Paranoid threat I see is:
- stuxnet attached to usb any time it was connected, so krux could get infected
- wrench attack until I multisig
Has anyone tried out this new Unplugged phone?
Only heard about it on podcasts, but it posits itself as a privacy phone
https://unplugged.com/products/up-phone
A privacy focused company should have more options to pay without KYC. Google pay and shop pay are the only options.
I always look at these as a honeypot until proven otherwise anyway.
I'm interested in not being tracked. But then I figure they will know where "this phone" is at all times, but cell tower triangulation at least. Then if "this phone" spends most of its time at my house, its like 90% useless, cuz now the history of travels of "this phone" is now associated with me.
If this is a wrong assumption, I'm probably in the market.
1. Self host:
- cashu.me wallet
- LND instance
- nutshell mint
2. Open a lightning channel with WoS.
3. Profit
Different ecash implementations. So an ecash token from a Fedimint cannot be redeemed at a cashu mint, or the other way around.
Cashu is focusing on the many small mints where you trust and know your mint operator “trust model.” Cashu is only lightning for fiat on/offramp.
Fedi the company is running an app that will use the Fedimint protocol ecash implementation, but they don’t run mints.
Fedimint protocol mints are federated to a minimum of 4 mint operators with a multisig to the funds. Fedimint can do btc on chain in/out (I believe) as well as lightning.
Fedi should use nostr for their login and for their chat
This is the cashu future, imo. The Venmo-like experience.
You have to link your account to venmo = you would onboard some cash to this app.
You send money around with no fees on venmo = cashu is the only way to do this, and it excels at it.
You cash out by sending back to the bank in venmo = same trust model with cashu. You don't really *have* the money until this step.
The "bitcoin standard" venmo.
Welcome.
You’ll fit in just fine around here.
Using zeus and connecting to self-hosted LND with LNC. It works most of the time, but has connection hiccups. I have a well-connected node with plenty of liquidity in both directions.
Zeus has an lnd on the phone, but buying liquidity doesn't make sense in my scenario.
So I'm exploring using the phone's LND, opening a channel with my node with enough liquidity for most purchases, then if I need larger amounts, switch to my self-hosted node.
Is it as simple as opening a channel in RTL with my node ID? Is this a good plan?
#asknostr
as it is right now, holesail is essentially a server, so it takes implementation on both ends.
you are wanting the zeus app to create the tunnel from the outside without any server side implementation?
