We gotta come up with a common gang sign to put onto the terminal.

Maybe we can Shaka to it 🤙?


I have the original NFC Ring from Indiegogo from 10 years ago. It has two NFC chips. I should dig it out. The inside chip for payments. The outside chip for my LN address for people to pay me 🔥🔥 I may have gotten rid of it though. I'll have to dig through some junk tech drawers and see.


why are these auto-posts continuing !


Fcuking super cool 😎. Made mine too! 🧡🤜🤛


I've never seen anyone pay or get paid in bitcoin where I live. And if I mention it as an option they ether laugh at me or ignore me. 🤷


If we all keep asking, it will eventually normalize it, gradually then…


Those same people ask me about it at the top too. And are nowhere at the bottom. Oh well.


The ring still available? Looks super cool!


That's amazing 😍


Wow!!! 🚀🚀🚀
Where do I buy it?


Wow this is super cool, but I feel like there is a chance that a fraudulent merchant could display a lower transaction amount on their terminal than what they actually intend to charge, how does this ring mitigate a potential risk if there is not a screen to verify the transaction before signing? Are there any built-in safeguards or secondary confirmation methods to ensure the user is only charged the amount they've agreed to?

I suppose they could cap the transaction amount to just a few thousand sats. Meaning it is just designed for micro transactions, in that case it cool and stress free ⚡


LIT!!!


This is the best sell signal. Whe grandma comes around asking for that bit coins she heard about, it's time to sell some


Normalement la seule monnaie autorisée dans l'EU est l'euro mais il  y a de plus en plus de restaurants de bars etc avec les paiements numériques qui affichent l'acceptation du Bitcoin. De manière en 2026 l'EU basculera sur le numérique avec Cash +qui est en cours de préparation avec des juridictions différentes d'un État à un autre au sein de l'EU


These rings would be ideal for a wedding; they are much better than a simple gold ring. 😅


What's actually encoded in the NFC ring? I have some NFC cards that I am experimenting with. Is it LNURL pay with Lnbits?


Hey Ben, is that with LNURL pay on lnbits?. I have LNURL withdrawal working with my nfc cards. I haven't implemented this yet. Thanks!


We had a guy at our Aussie meetup this week pay using their NFC ring.

LNbits came up quite a few times in conversation too.

Keep sending out your ripples ser - some reach us on the other side of the pond.

You can still buy it. I found mine. The two tags are not NTAG 424 though. Which means they are not compatible with the bolt card implementation. I did try to setup a DIY LNBits Bolt implementation with my bolt card tonight though. I was getting a key error. I probably need to expose another URL to my server. I'll get it working another time. For now, I wrote my LN address on one tag and my Nostr address on the other tag on the NFC Ring. 🤙🏻


It's the Bolt cards plugin.


Happy to do my part in this 😃. Legendary!

Don’t say ripples. 🤣


Find or create a community in the style of https://einundzwanzig.space/

There are probably some bitcoiners around you. Just start a chat group with them as a first step.


How do you get 27 notes and 34 boosts and no zaps! Here you go fam ⚡🫡

Sending out nipples doesn't have the same vibe.

I honestly think so little about shitcoins these days that I tend to forget they still exist.

Make ripples great again!

Cheers! Thx. for the insights.
Look really interesting.


What? Cbase is bitcoin enabled?

CCC was very anti-bitcoin, so it's good to see.

BTW in Paralelní Polis many people have the nfc implanted in their hands - no ring required. Also using lnbits now...


Thanks for sharing this. I was great having you at bitcoin++ Berlin.


I think it still depends on who you meet at cbase. My experience was that some people are very skeptical, but are at least open for discussion / leaving people do their thing.


Yeah, and with sats if it’s gone, then it’s really gone 🙅♀🫣


Nevertheless, it’s cool, I would just want some way to make sure only small amount are authorized.


I'm glad to hear that.

I love cbase, but I haven't been there for ages.

I'm fine with skeptical. Not so much fond of the German green statist religion.


The future isth 'now

Pardon my ignorance, but is it not true that we still do not know who created BitCoin?  While I am a strong supporter of the underlying principles and objectives behind BitCoin and alternatives like it, until I know who created it, I cannot jump in with both feet.

Who is to say it was not a CIA play to round up like-minded individuals into a false safe haven only to crush them later when they see fit?

Again, pardon my ignorance, I just know that digital creators often can and do leave trap doors and secret switches and I retain HIGH SKEPTICISM of everything and everyone who insists on remaining secret...
