Oddbean new post about login | logout Did ecash appear on Nostr before Zaps? I'd love to know when the first ecash payment was sent on Nostr and when the first Zap was sent on Nostr. I'm working on a timeline that involves some of Nostr's history. Seems like December 2022 to February 2023 is the time range for both? @calle 👁️⚡👁️ @jb55
According to our Cashu dev chat history, the first demo of an ecash payment via nostr seems to have been on Dec 26, 2022 https://video.nostr.build/6d373ceb148e7da53c4c4248d9096e4e008a8a2da0cc14c35c0aa0df57d26fd8.mp4
While it looks like @jb55 published NIP-57 on Feb 13 2023 he did it Satoshi style and published the code first to GitHub on Feb 10 2023. People were able to start testing it that day I remember. It was a Damus only thing at first.
Here is a fun thread where I and STPI first zapped eachother with ecash on nostr using minibits LN bridge nostr:nevent1qqsqauucm7pvuu8pjje0vsx2r7uzdse73q2rzt5ga90k380d7rjhn3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsyg8dk3czwy5h43dxrunh70x3fhj5celttnxjpmcdnhefhcvxskasqspsgqqqqqqsy33xay
