 Nostr accelerates Cashu dev more than anything else. 
 I've noticed that people who regularly pump out code have a more cheerful and positive attitude.

 MERGED: NUT-18 Cashu Payment Requests

This NUT introduces a standard format for payment requests that supply a sending wallet with the information necessary to make an ecash payment to the receiver (e.g. a point of sale).

Here, the payment is transmitted via Nostr.

 Have you seen our other option? lol it’s shitcoin scammer or deep state communist. 
 False dichotomy, who cares about the other candidate. This guy is a complete shitcoin scammer, and supporting him means enabling his shitcoin scam, doesn't matter what the other clown says. I don't make the rules. 
 My condolences to the single-issue Bitcoiners who supported a presidential candidate who's now officially a fully-retarded shitcoin scammer.

 Who can create and who can pay them, so you know? Can LND do both directions? 
 Most people don't realize what a terrifying world we would be living in if the Tor project didn't exist. 
 That wasn't Tor's purpose nor is it in its control. Tor has other more serious issues. 
 This could have been an ecash DLC but that's building prediction markets in hard mode

 there is a difference between understanding and using something 
 This happened during a demo of Tollgate, a tool for OpenWRT routers which let's users pay for WiFi with sats-denominated ecash. Friend of mine connects his phone to the wifi hotspot and is shown a captive portal that says it wants ecash from a certain mint. Friend doesn't have ecash. But I do.

I whip out my phone and create a 100 sat token, show it to him as a QR code, which he copies and pastes into the captive portal. A few seconds later, he's online. 1 sat = 1 minute internet. 

We're just scratching the surface of what's possible. 
 I'm using cashu.me which supports animated QR.

 It's 1 sat less than a power of 2 which is always nifty

 Super interesting wallet.

Micro payments go into a Cashu mint, medium payments go into Liquid, Large payments go into a Lightning channel.

 It's weird to see external people that are aligned with Nostr's goals and even the overall design... 
 People that tell you you HAVE TO listen to the users and if you don't you're a bad programmer.

Every good programmer knows that you don't listen to the users. Never. 
 I've built a thing: The Cashu mint Round Robin auditor 

An app that perpetually monitors a list of mints by randomly sending Lightning payments between them. Forever. The sats go in a circle until all is lost to fees or rugs. If a mint fails to pay an invoice, it is marked with a scary red label.

You can donate Ecash from any mint to add it to the list of audited mints!

 I wanna say @Coinos mint is amazing but it seems like they don't like Tor so their mint isn't reachable by this tool. Maybe something they'd reconsider? 
 I have a mechanism to prevent that. Try and let me know if you manage. 
 Donate some ecash and it will be added to the list 🫑 
 The mints are chosen randomly according to some rules ;) 
 looks promising

 I still can't believe we're having an ecash btc++ conference in two days. 

Just a year ago we were merely a handful of nutcases. Now we have a whole ecosystem to build on. Incredible.
