cashu About four years ago, I went deep on central banking and monetary operations. Just over two years ago #Cashu came along, then I discovered #nostr. I realized you could build an entirely new monetary and payments infrastructure using Bitcoin as the base layer, and something that could rival the likes… Tim Bouma Nov 10, 2024, 12:44 PM
nostr Yesterday, I managed to get #nostr #safebox running as a daemon, listening to NIP-17 messages, parsing out and accepting #Cashu tokens sent by another #safebox instance. This proves I can send funds directly between wallet processes! All still very experimental, but proving that it works!… Tim Bouma Oct 23, 2024, 12:34 PM
nostr NOSTR SAFEBOX UPDATE Lots of great progress on #nostr #safebox this weekend. An installation of a #strfry test relay revealed that I had some incompatibilities that I had to fix (fixed). I also optimized my event read/write routines which were causing timeouts on other relays. I am testing on… Tim Bouma Sep 16, 2024, 11:48 AM

fedimint The rent-seeking and fees are outrageous for the less fortunate in the long tail of the economy. Fast, cheap and finalized micropayments will be a major uplift for everyone. #fedimint #cashu… Tim Bouma Sep 9, 2024, 12:57 PM

cashu If you’ve ever written a wallet algorithm for swapping tokens between #Cashu mints, you’ll understand… Tim Bouma Aug 20, 2024, 11:38 AM
nostr I am thinking about coining the term “nsac” to refer to a wallet-like thing that can exist on #nostr holding your valuable things, such as ecash tokens. I have already implemented a prototype #cashu ecash wallet which looks to be promising. So you would have: #npub - your identity #nsec… Tim Bouma Aug 13, 2024, 5:29 PM
cashu Developing story: #Cashu are not nuts. What are they? Read below and more news to come. Rumours are that nuts (even the #Cashu kind) can be stored as events as @PABLOF7z has recently demonstrated. We’ll confirm that when we can. Thanks to @mleku for reporting from the front lines.

ecash All this talk about separating money from the state (which I agree with), but I think the far more important and immediate imperative is to separate money from identity. With the shift to electronic payment systems, the unintended consequence was to combine identity with money into the ‘account’ concept which… Tim Bouma Jul 4, 2024, 5:43 PM
cashu Self-sovereign identity (SSI) was a great idea, but a big piece was missing- the ability to natively accept payment. Now, with npubs, that is possible with #cashu and DMs. Not sure what to call this yet, but it is some sort of socio-economic overlay network that sits on… Tim Bouma Jun 26, 2024, 11:14 AM
cashu Super news! IMHO, I believe that #cashu along with #nostr is the big game-changer. Congratulations @calle 👁️⚡👁️ and thanks to @OpenSats for the LTS!… Tim Bouma Jun 21, 2024, 12:20 PM
nostr Pay to NPUB (P2NPUB) Proposal This could be an easier way to transmit funds than zapping. The payer only needs to interact with a Lightning Address provider that supports P2NPUB. #Nostr and #CASHU take care of the rest. P2NPUB is simply: The LN Address provider detects that the local part… Tim Bouma Jun 20, 2024, 2:17 PM

cashu IMHO, #cashu is the most exciting tech to hit the net in decades. In the early days of the web, most presentations had the obligatory ‘Internet’ slide and then presented the ‘Intranet’ as the next big thing. Boy, did they ever get that wrong. “Intranets” were a distraction while the… Tim Bouma Apr 12, 2024, 12:02 PM
