People told me that this episode of Citadel Dispatch with @ODELL was what made it click for them. If you've been sleeping on Cashu and Chaumian Ecash in general, give this rip a listen. We go into depth of what this tech means for Bitcoin. https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/CitadelDispatch/cd120-bitcoin-powered-chaumian-ecash-with-calle
I love the technical talk so much. I was very skeptical until this rip.
Skeptical is good, too many scams out there.
I enjoyed it too. It was a wonderful conversation.
Congratulations with the HRF grant!!
they still dont get it
Really great episode Calle, thanks for all your work.
Really interesting indeed, the carbon paper / enveloppe analogy is great to grasp a how it is done, and the privacy improvement including what ecash allows in term of atomic multipath payment from multiple mints is quite interesting. How I see it for Bitcoiners in the future: -savings+ big tx (real estate, big purchases in general)--> Bitcoin - day to day payments --> hybrid wallets : self custodial LN (with LSP or not) coupled with an ecash wallet. The self custodial Wallet could top up the ecash wallet at will, allowing better privacy to send from many mints and asynchronous payment if no satisfying solution is found by then.
Some things started clicking. The idea of using multiple mints to pay a LN invoice would be amazing. Still, I'm cautious sending my sats to a mint. Might let it play out for some time first. Also, mints settling with other mints without Bitcoin I can't accept.
@calle 👁️⚡👁️ I'm so sorry I misunderstood your Cashu project. I understand it now and thank you for your hard work.
Great episode, thank you. @calle 👁️⚡👁️, what do you mean by saying 'Coinbase is the scaling solution for Bitcoin'?
