Bitcoin payments are worse than traditional payments today. Lightning usage is low. We are falling behind in user growth. But, the combination of nostr and ecash has the opportunity to dramatically change the #bitcoin payments experience. -- Nostr enables one click, multi-party payments - impossible with traditional payments and even lightning alone today. Ecash enables sending stablecash in a static message to anyone in the world - also impossible with traditional payments and lightning today. -- We need more people using bitcoin payments. We need better bitcoin payments. The internet and AI is made for bitcoin payments. This is how we onboard the next generation of bitcoiners.

Introducing Boardwalk Cash - the first dollar-based Cashu wallet built on top of #bitcoin and connected to #nostr.

Boardwalk Cash

The easiest way to send and receive cash.

We now have stablecash on bitcoin - completely interoperable with the lightning network. Share your lightning address or invoice to receive dollars. Paste a lightning address or invoice to send dollars. Boardwalk Cash connects to any nostr client via NWC. Zap dollars on nostr apps like @primal or on Discord with our Zap Bot. This is a very early product and there are not many public mints, so use at your own risk. Yet, we’re excited to show some of what ecash and nostr can offer for advancing #bitcoin payments.

There will be more ecash wallets supporting @Nostr Wallet Connect in the next few weeks than lightning wallets. Why do you think that is? It's such a massive improvement in payments UX and so easy to implement, but lightning wallet devs seem largely unaware? Spread the word like @calle! View quoted note →

Bigger than expected #bitcoin numbers from $SQ: - 21 mil customers used bitcoin (9% of the US adult population 🚨) - 1.6 mil Cash App Card users used Bitcoin Round Ups (advanced feature) - 8,038 bitcoin ($500 mil, 9% of total cash) - Investing 10% of bitcoin GP into bitcoin

Amazing Dispatch from @OpenSecret team highlighting #fedimint, #nostr and @Nostr Wallet Connect NWC is the biggest bitcoin UX improvement since lightning: - NWC lets you send bitcoin in ANY app without opening your wallet - NWC lets you send payments in the future (i.e. subscriptions)
