"BaseEmoji is a binary-to-emoji encoding scheme that represents binary data in a subset of the Unicode Emoji symbols, designed for triggering senior programmers effortlessly. BaseEmoji is heavily influenced by my frustration towards my tech lead that always shares data (base64 encoded) with me." https://github.com/amoallim15/base-emoji

Would you welcome shircoiners on nostr? Imagine they'd do Solana zaps here. Serious q.

50% of cases where I want to tag someone I follow in a post, Amethyst can't find the account. I close the compose view, search for the account in search, visit profile, and only then it's somewhere in the cache (I assume?) and I can tag them when I write a post. Is this how it works @Vitor Pamplona or am I doing something wrong here?

How do I turn off drafts in Amethyst? I don't want the relays to know what I almost posted but needed up not posting.

Haters successfully bullying the Cashu protocol to become better every day, thank you for your service 🫡

Working on websocket support for Nutshell. We have a WIP Cashu NUT for websocket support for streaming updates on updated mint / melt quotes and proof states. This should eliminate the need for constant polling for incoming LN payments 🫡

I've been reading up on different text-based encoding schemes yesterday. Anything above base64 is really getting esotheric. There is base85 which is apparently used by adobe PDF. It maps 4 bytes of binary data into 5 ASCII characters which is a few percentage points more efficiency than base64. Then there is Base2048 and Base65536 where it gets really weird because they use a much larger part (or the entirity!) of the unicode character space (all international characters, all the strange symbols etc). I don't know what these tokens would look like but Base65536 can encode 2 bytes of data into a single character. That means a 100 byte Cashu token could be 50 chars (that's insane). I don't know if all compures would be able to render these characters but if so, you could basically fit ~2.85 Cashu tokens into a single 140 char SMS. Wonder why I haven't seen people abuse this to store large chunks of data on Twitter or other text-based media. I've seen projects that abuse Twitter as cloud storage (by storing data in forms of tweets) but they usually use base64.
