Coding is where 50% of my frustration comes from 🤣

Nothing great, brother

I'm in this photo 😎

All i see is free marketing for Bitcoin

A fat zap a day keeps the ad-driven algo away

I agree with the peer-to-peer point, but how is ecash not censorship resistant? How would you censor an individual’s funds if you don’t know which funds are theirs?

Finally, a filters debate that’s not a total snoozefest

Great battery life tho…

Life is volatile, man…

This has been insightful and making me revisit some assumptions. Thanks for taking the time to write and share this. I appreciate you. But I'm not quite ready to throw the baby out with the bath water. Maybe you can open my eyes a bit more here. — Regarding P2PK — I now agree that locking tokens to an npub is a terrible idea. The whole NUT ZAP thing might be a bust in my book. But Cashu tokens locked to new pubkeys (maybe generated by an HD wallet) don't really have this problem. I could use generate a new pubkey every time I need to accept a payment offline, right? Also, if I'm not offline, someone could send me funds over a NIP-17 DM (or whatever the latest nostr DM is) and not lock the token to any pubkey. This would treat nostr as just a simple comms protocol (kinda like joinstr does?) and the mint would never have to know who I am. — Regarding Auth — From what I can tell, the implementation details of auth on mints has changed since the time of your writing. ("NUT-16" was never merged, they are using NUT-21/22 now?) But implementation details aside... Auth on mints is optional, and bitcoin is available to anyone, so lots of mints can enter and compete. So in practice I can just use a mint that doesn't Auth me. I wouldn't consider any exchange settled if you paid me with some KYC mint I've never heard of or used. Free markets might solve the auth problem? IDK, just spit balling here. Happy to be wrong and learn something new. cc. if you have any additional thoughts?

Where are the non-nym knots supporters? So many nym reply guys with < 100 followers shit talking core with weak ass arguments. I think we all might be arguing with bots.

Have you ever used a piece of abandoned software?

Mozilla Firefox devs are centralized and a threat to the World Wide Web

VPN, Cashu, and chill

Ah okay. Makes sense. Simply too much space used for non-financial transactions. It feels like a theoretical threat to me since it has a large cost in the hardest money and we’ve already seen it come and go and now we have empty blocks again.
