69420 is the new 58k gang

Had to introduce Nostr a bunch lastly, the narrative that stick the most is this one « Self hosting your stuffs is a trend now, you can store your mail, your media, your Bitcoin on a fancy home server, but your digital identity still belongs to big tech, Nostr makes it possible for you to store your notes, your speech on that same home server, and everyone will find that content like they do on X today »

Many people criticise primal rn, but this is hands down the cleanest client on iOS and the one I’ll recommend for newcomers

Nostr needs an ecash that follow the UTXO model on bitcoin Cashu tokens add a level of complexity for Nostr clients It would be much easier to just send proofs around, with the mint url attached to each. Imagine you have 5 sats, represented as 2*2sats Proofs and 1*1 sats Proofs, and want to send 3 sats to someone. Go to the mint, it will return you 1*2sats Proofs and 1*1sat Proof as UTXO to send to the recipient and 1*2sats Proofs for yourself. Cashu mint do work like this already, but you'll need to wrap the proofs in a cashu tokens. In order for the recipient to know what the mint url is for these proofs. If the mint url is attached to the proofs, devs are free to drop the cashu tokens entirely. @calle
