Nut November
Nut November - A month-long hackathon for Cashu builders
A month-long hackathon for Cashu builders who just can't hold their nuts.
redesigned the mint rating and review ui for cashu.me
now you can see what mints your friends trust and leave reviews. wanted it to feel like getting a recommendation from someone you know.
web of trust does helps do the vetting for you.
see a mint with all reviews, then you can toggle to only show web of trust. ratings recalculate in real time based only on reviews from people in your web of trust.
if you don't really use nostr like that, then cashu.me comes with a built in web of trust based on based bitcoiners.
this is now live in prod. give it a try and let me know what you think. please report and UI issues or bugs too.

Nut November - Daily Challenge Tracker
Commit to the challenge! Nut every day in november!
being a cashu disrespector must be exhausting. so many people building and shipping, new developments constantly. you have to wake up every day and keep fading it. can’t be easy.
Cashu builders are going nuts this month. #NutNovember

gm. check out this episode about the guys who built the transatlantic telegraph cable. they failed over 3 times but remained locked in and eventually succeeded.
we really need more people out there working on ambitious, human scaled projects like this.
i’m going to japan for the month of december to heal my soul. please send recs.
good job young men.
i want to speak to satoshi nakamoto and tell him i’m doing the best i can, but there’s simply so much to do.
the name of the game is ship as much great design as possible and remain allergic to fame.
been reflecting on the bitcoin for signal campaign. i want to share why we designed it in the way we did. a lot of bitcoin projects try to get people to come to them.
'latest layer 2/ecash/ark/lightning/spark/liquid!'
'simple wallet!'
'frictionless onboarding!'
i think that's not always the best approach.
instead of promoting a new app or asking people to meet us, we should try to meet people where they already are and then make the case for bitcoin. millions already use signal everyday so why ask them to go somewhere else for private payments? bring bitcoin to them instead.
i want to see more projects try to integrate bitcoin where people already hangout. cashapp nailed this imo. they didn't build a bitcoin app and ask people to come. they integrated bitcoin into a space that people already use to send $ to friends. try to follow that playbook.
