ecash I've concluded that #ecash on #nostr is vastly superior to any payment system out there and it will win in the long run. Now it's a matter of implementation and adoption. Now I'd like to tackle another area - digital credentials. It has become vastly Tim Bouma Sep 14, 2024, 12:38 PM
Soon, in Australia, criticizing the banks will soon be considered a ‘serious harm’ and subject to prosecution.… Tim Bouma Sep 14, 2024, 12:10 PM
My bet is that everyone will want a private ecash wallet that is independent of app/device/platform. Coming soon, to a relay far, far away from you.… Tim Bouma Sep 14, 2024, 11:56 AM

The sooner we can get off the existing mobile OS platforms, the better. That is why I am so obsessed to prove the concept of a 'digital wallet' that can exist independently of app/os/device.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 5:58 PM
Perhaps we need the concept of blinded applications and blinded grants? The idea is that you put in a blinded application with no expectation of any feedback, other than anonymous funds being sent your address, if the application is of merit. While an inference could be made that the funds… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 3:22 PM
Very. Cool. I was looking at events from @fiatjaf and discovered they were all proof of work events (NIP-13) So, content-neutral moderation mechanisms, so far, for proof of work and web of trust: POW: NIP 13 POW events vanity npubs pay to relay zaps (sats are just someone… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 3:10 PM
