“Without root control, sovereignty is cosmetic.”

Where I grew up was a terminus for the Underground Railroad resulting in a very vibrant local Black community. The cool thing was that we learned about the secret quilting signals that were used to guide people northward and across the border to freedom.

It's going to be even more boring when I can just pay at every Square merchant on Earth. So boring. But it might get more interesting when that Square merchant is my doctor or pharmacist and I can just show the prescription I just got from my doctor, have it verified, and fulfilled immediately with no centralized recordkeeper in sight. #nostr #safebox View quoted note →

Maybe this is really boring, but I have built a Lightning wallet that does everything in the background with Cashu and drops to Lightning when necessary. Everything is stored encrypted in relays And, oh, everything is presented in the local currency of choice because the user pays in local currency. All working so private payments is now boring - I am now adding private record sharing. #nostr #safebox
