Thank you for having me 🫡

 Excellent conversation. The future is bright! 
 Great one 👏 
 Good one 
 @calle 👁️⚡👁️ &  @preston

You worked well together to reduce some pretty complciated concepts and make them conumable by a mere pleb such as myself 

Many thanks
 
 I did this portrait of you while listening. https://video.nostr.build/a2795e3e23bb4f576caee46d472214c59f6a784d1d35bcaf74f2372999ba3a41.mp4  
 I freaking love this! Thank you, what an honor. 
 My pleasure! 
 Wow, you got his face just right! 
 Incredibly difficult, gonna go for Uncle Rockstar next, might just recolor the mask to save paper. 
 Proof of work 
 Well shucks! 
 Great interview. I watched Ben’s tutorial on YT and had it installed, joined a mint, funded and seed phrase secured in about 10 minutes.    One thousand times easier than opening a fiat bank account. It really is like having a bank in your pocket. Thanks for your efforts they are much appreciated. 
 Why is this not on fountain?

 This was a really good episode. Thanks for doing it. 
 Nice and interesting podcast 👏🔥 
 Good to listen to this. It is a widely misunderstood concept that Cashu/Fedimint is a scaling solution rather than a privacy enhancing and custodial lightning solution 
 @calle you were great 👍 
 This was illuminating, thank you @calle 👁️⚡👁️ and @preston 
 Calle I loved the podcast and I agree that it would be nice if bitcoin discussions were had on nostr rather than twitter. But in the podcast you mentioned that a problem with nostr is the synchronization of relays. How could a coherent discussion about bitcoin happen here if communication is disjointed? 
 Great conversation. I learned a lot. 🫂 
 It was great. At least I can say that I understand this a bit and need to test it. 
 GM, impressive and mind blowing conversation between two great minds. Thanks for the good star in my day.

 Loved this! 
 This is going strait to the top of my list 🔥 
 Great conversation and answered many questions I had about ecash 
 Fixing the problem isn’t the problem filling the need people don’t know they have is.  
 Hey nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te009skyafwd4jj7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9ux0xprj you are outdated about nostr relays we have relays that communicate with other relays here is one example

 How does this relay sync with other relays? 
 update: Half an hour in some of the tradeoffs and limitations are being discussed. It's being clearly stated that cashu can't be expected to improve bitcoin from the way it's supposed to be used (permissionless unruggability) 
 My dumb dumb "unruggability" solution is to regularly take my sats out of the mints I use (only leaving "spending money" in the mints). Cashu is so slick, if users get used to moving out the sats, the mints are forced to act responsibly

Not invincible, but Cashu is a great addition to the mix of private payment solutions  
 This is a good strategy

 The convo also hits why bitcoin discussion on Twitter is dangerous and why the internet should evolve from using DNS. Interesting stuff, cheers 🍻

 Watched the video downloaded eNuts connected to mint filled my wallet….fast, learning the curve
