Fun hack I came up with ecash/Cashu tokens on a credit card sized NFC card (ntag 215). How it works: Ntag215 only can hold just about ~500 bytes of data. Throughout testing, one singular ecash token is ~400 bytes. Tokens are stored as amounts in powers of 2. Example: If you have 100 sats in an ecash wallet, you could have: 1 - 64 sat token 1 - 32 sat token 1 - 4 sat token Likewise you could have: 50 - 2 sat tokens How many tokens you intend to send will directly impact the size of the text string representing your ecash token. By minting tokens as numbers in powers of 2 ie - 128,512,2048 sats etc, you can then store that token on an ntag215 card. What we end up with is physical bearer ecash that can be traded around like physical cash and can be instantly redeemed by anyone in possession of it with an internet connection. Not revolutionary by anymore means, but nonetheless a lot of fun to play with. Could see this being used for poker games as poker chips, or other fun use cases. Credit to @calle for the software I used in testing this as well as just being an awesome advocate for ecash.

Nostr got some attention on Timcast last night. Will this be the next wave of non-bitcoiners?

GM Fight the good fight today

Is there a way to create a multi-sig bitcoin wallet with someone that isn’t geographically near you? Any resources would be appreciated

Have any funds been compromised on the Lightning network since the public announcement of the replacement cycling attack? Personally, I’m not convinced by this vulnerability until a mainnet attack is demonstrated

We really have something special here with Nostr. I hope we can find ways to keep the network decentralized and also relatively simple for most people to use.

This next bull run will most likely grab a lot of attention from people outside of #Bitcoin - Fed rate hikes being paused - Halving in less than a year - Spot ETF close to approval - Mining has continually grown throughout this bear market - Increase in “Bitcoin-only” focused content - Political uncertainty/Election year US Get ready for some faces to melt

The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that you can walk away from it for a while and you never have to worry about whether or not the value of it can be destroyed. We don’t have to have our thoughts consumed by money and making profits/investments every day

After stepping away from Bitcoin for 2 months to focus on my family and pursue artistic endeavors, it doesn’t seem like I’ve missed much. Is there anything I should get up to date on? New tech? Wallets? Nostr?

Fun to watch new apps like threads or blue sky hemorrhage their new user base by making poor decisions and/or offering nothing new

Zap away! #zapathon

I often contemplate pursuing practical goals vs creative goals. I understand each has its own advantage and affects people differently. I was a creative (musically) person my entire childhood up until I was about 20 and then I became interested in programming and for the last 10 years or so have been on that path. I just wonder if anyone else has been conflicted in a similar way. Like most people I just want to positively impact people as best as I can

#zapplepay is amazing. I love the bitcoin community

Happy zapping everyone
