Out of the loop, why the Cashu hate of recent?
Nothing changed, same tech with the same trade offs as it was a year ago.

Some grey hat disclosures and adversarial thinking. Iron on iron.
It’s the people behind it
Please ser, when bitcoin.review
Nothing new happening in bitcoin
I think people are weary of ever more custodial solutions being introduced and cashu is just first in front of the fan blowing the 💩
Boredom
Low grade drama, really not worth investigating.
Can I load a gif as my Lock Screen for the cold card q?
GIF are an attack vector
I mean... most of Bitcoin is still super niche. let alone a layer 3 custodial protocol that barely works. 🥺 I mean... OK neat... but we ate light years away from normies using this. 🤷♂️
Dudes need to nut more
Came here looking for an answer but nobody has one.
No bitches
Bitchcoiners
when hate speech laws
If I had to guess, it's coming from people who have gone tribal about knots vs core and realized Calle's on the Core side of things.
Personally I'm getting more intrigued by how Fedi is addressing some of the trust trade offs, but for serving as my "mailbox" of sorts for zaps while my lightning node is offline, I can't complain too much about Cashu. It's only marginally better than normal custodial lightning, but at least I can see who zapped me now.
You’re a pedophile
floppy dick found a dos vector. knotsis and the few haters (paul sports, ben arc) we have were happy to see it. think it’s a giga brain move given how much i defend core.
we fixed it instantly and released a patch. nobody was affected. cashu continues to be popular among builders and users while will and ben keep crying without providing a better solution.
some people just get attention by hating on someone else.
Double standards bigger than the Grand Canyon.
Wide gaping dishonesty is not something to admire.
Calle is deeply irresponsible, immoral and sad person.
Calle's double standard is just disgusting.
Calle is supporter of OP_RETURN spam and the change to 100 000 Bytes which allowed porn video on the Bitcoin blockchain.
He supports Core v30. Core v30 is essentially a malware to Bitcoin because allows more spam.
But he now whines like a little girl that a weakness in nutshell can be exploited and the cashu nuteshell servers can be filled with spam and JPEGS.
Also floppy made a responsible disclosure to affected parites.

I don’t know if you’re serious but I’ll give it another shot
🤣
because cashu is winning
using this next time asks for gifs on a client
Huh? None of my critism of ecash on bitcoin involves that vulnerability. I've maintained the same critisms for years.
Lol. 2nd time he's done that today.
Crack on badboy. Or perhaps just take a breath and be a little more humble. Cashu isn't going to solve all of bitcoins problems, and that's okay to admit 👍
Cashu can't solve a single bitcoin problem as it's not bitcoin
Well admitting that would be a start, yes. It does have use cases tho, and some pretty profound, despite Calle being a bit of a cunt. He's young tho, so whatever.
you're behaving like a pathetic child. I never engage with you except when you have your little episodes. leave me alone finally you troll.
Erm, you're the one who went on a personal attack? I just pointed out some longstanding concerns, others also seem to be having, about the impact ecash culture has had on the bitcoin ecosystem, and corrected what you said above.
But yeah whatever. Stuff to build.
you're hallucinating.
you're aware you can mute, right?
if web apps integrated it directly into their "in-app currency (that you can actually withdraw any time)" normies would be using it without realizing.
hypothetically, sure. would be amazing to have airlmiles-like private tokens and such... but just feels a ways away. getting ppl on SATs is hard enuf
if you have a few minutes to spare, take a look at this video of an over-simplified mockup and tell me if it would be 'hard' to get on board for a newb. i think if anything it would be so easy that they wouldn't understand it's real money; they'd see it like video game points:
For a nostr newb, or a normie newb, are two seperate things.
"Upwork, but with Bitcoin". Clever idea.
Obfuscate as much as possible behind the UX... And make it slick. You've done a good job as this.
The layout is simple which is nice. But man. We're all in a tough spot.
All this stuff is complicated and normies only want what's easy. Mass culture is always "lowest common denominator".
The hard part is making it work... E cash mints blow up. Or don't work. Lightning is still unfinished with routing issues. Etc...
The hierarchy is something like...
Compiling FOSS stuff < Developing and coding <
Node running and Mining < Self custody and Nostr < < ETFs < What is Bitcoin < What is Money < Critical Thinking.
Godspeed man.
Saturday night launch. 🚀
Nostr's UX problem isn't a secret.
30-day retention trends to 0%. Daily active users stuck at ~10k. Posts disappear. Followers vanish when you switch apps. Every app feels like beta software.
I've spent 2+ years arguing that great UX wins. So I designed a meta-study, threw a few hundred dollars at Claude, and put together what the evidence indicates.
tl;dr: Ship working experiences, then add features.

6 critical patterns backed by 100+ citations:
‣ Onboarding, content discovery, core interactions
‣ Performance, progressive complexity, cross-client consistency
‣ Anti-patterns to avoid + validation checklists
I'm not a designer, but I know what good looks like. This is opinionated, evidence-based, and focused on retention.
What am I missing? What did I get wrong?

lol sorry i misread this notification.
i haven't built a production-ready client for catallax, only a few references and demos of the protocol in the hopes that others will build a specific client for their use case.
