Ecash is incredible! I used an offline phone to pay Ecash invoice on my online phone then immediately paid for an eSIM via lightning using the Ecash just received. The offline phone never went online. 🤯 I was using the same mint on both wallets, not sure if that matters for this use case but I don’t think it does. Sound off with comments or other use cases you’ve used it for. I needed to top up my ESIM balance for my online phone but didn’t have enough Lightning available on it. Didn’t want to connect offline phone to online phone hotspot because I had a low data balance and it would have drained the data with background activity. #ecash

All this “AI will save us” and “AI is the end of the world” talk is missing the point. Chatbots are complex tools that require a skilled operator to guide and filter the information. They can help you refine ideas and present information, but they are not going to think for you. We need to bring back classical education styles that emphasize critical thinking, logic, ancient wisdom literature, mythology and story telling. Human minds steeped in culture and tradition will be a counter balance to technological dependence and actually allow technology to be useful instead of destructive. #AI #CriticalThinking #education #technology #philosophy

Anybody working on a #Ecash coinjoin Solution? Onchain to lightning to mint to redeem on to mint swaps to lightning back to chain? Who knows more about this?

I’ve been a professional firefighter in California for 20 years. Currently I oversee a vegetation management program to reduce fire risk to communities. We have money, resources and are ready to work. The Environmental regulations however take years to navigate and comply with and consume a large portion of the funds available for this work. California’s entire fire problem is a direct result of foolish policies. It goes back to the USFS suppressing naturally occurring fire for over100 years resulting in excessive fuels in our wild lands. Now the State of California is tying the hands of local communities in repairing the damage through nonsensical environmental regulations that prioritize red legged frogs or “spotted owl habitat” that hasn’t seen a spotted owl since the 80’s over human lives and property. The government will blame everything and everyone except their own policies which are the real culprit. The incentives are so screwed up that no one is really interested in actually fixing the issue because everyone is grifting off the system. Fires are big money for both Private contractors and government employees as is environmental compliance consulting. There, I feel better now. Had to get that out. #fire #grownostr
