many such cases on bitcoin twitter. yelling against abstract expressionism is the equivalent to failing 'how would you feel if you did not have breakfast this morning?'

my life is my work. there’s no distinction. i’m lucky to have found myself in the position where I wake up every day working on the things that matter to me. i don’t want a lagom life. never assimilate.

Cashu is a perfect fit for chat apps. Today at Presidio Bitcoin for Bitcoin Design Week we’re running a vibe coding session. I’ll be showing a Cashu wallet I vibe coded straight into Bitchat with CDK and we’ll do some collaborative vibe coding together. If you're in SF, join us. image

Is there a SMS service where I can pay with bitcoin to receive a one time SMS?

If I wasn’t working on ecash, I’d be working on making seed phrases obsolete. They’re the worst possible UX imaginable. "Hey, we have the best engineered money in human history…but before you can use it, you have to grab a piece of paper and write down 12 random words. BTW if anyone ever finds this paper, they can steal your money forever." Deeply unserious UX. I think seed phrases are the best solution we have right now. But it’s naive and short sighted to think they’ll remain the standard for self custody / backup, or that we can’t design something 10x better and just as secure.

I prototyped a fully functional Bitchat Cashu wallet. From Figma wireframes to Kotlin code running live on Android. Pretty excited about the workflow. Sharing my exact flow in case it helps anyone else.

why would anyone do drugs when they could just vibe code a cashu wallet?

Bitchat reminds me of the feeling of coming from school, jumping on IRC, and loading up Counter Strike 1.6. image

Any job where you get to work with your heroes is a good job. I’m very fortunate to have a good job.
