 proof of concept for @Juraj – chaumian ecash conference tickets? @paralelnipolis 

required only minimal changes in the mint and the wallet. the mint sells tickets for a fixed BTC price via Lightning. users can trade tickets aftermarket without double-spend risk – buying a ticket that has been sold multiple times, a very common issue for conferences, concerts, etc. should we explore this further?

 If you do, please think about integration first, so it's actually usable. This might be a good plugin for Pretix, for example. https://docs.pretix.eu/en/latest/development/api/plugins.html 
 Does it allow you to creat your own ticket? 
 The short answer is yes. https://github.com/pretix/pretix

The long answer is it's probably a bit more complicated than that. 
 pretix is sweet, works good and self hostable 
 Pretix would be great. It's used by CCC, HCPP, Paralelní Polis.

Although for me it could be super simple. Actually I don't even need the sales system, only pre generated tokens and I can distribute the tickets myself. I organize very simple events. And I'd like to not even have email address or any other user info. So what nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7xph5zr created is even better than pretix, where there's a more complicated sales process with t-shirt sizes, email addresses, name tags. 

I just need "one entry, not used yet, valid".

Can't wait to try it out. 
 Who would have said ecash would become the real utility token  
 Ticket seeling companys may like the function "Ticket for NPUB" but there is maybe a problem at the Entrance to sign with NSEC. 
 Wow i love it! 
 Could this use case apply to equity shares and bonds as well? 
 I think so, it should work for anything that can be represented as a bearer token 
 The way forward. All based on ecash on top of Bitcoin 
 What do you mean exploring further? Make it a standard? Using ecash for ticket sales is certainly a great use case  
 The exciting thing isn't purchasing a ticket for ecash, but for basically creating a new Cashu-based token type to be used as the ticket. So, your ticket is a Cashu token.  
 yes! this is how ecash can be used for many smart contract use cases. At the moment web3 startup do ticket sales via NFT, how overkill is that? Why do we need a blockchain for ticket sales? 
 go for it! bundesliga will love this hack to avoid double spend and kyc - or maybe not :-D 
 Getting zapped a conference ticket is wild. 
 my god this is awesome
