 I use cashu on the weekly to pay for some small thing.

 No, the issue is that once you have individual keys for every amount everything becomes easily trackable. 
 Move faster and break more things. Don't be afraid. We're on layer 69 for a reason. 
 Probably not enough! 
 iris.to, nostter.app, nostrudel.ninja

they are all as fast and smooth as primal but without the caching server. a lot of impressive progress in the last months.

 How Freenet Works - a decentralized replacement for the World Wide Web. Acting as a global, shared computing platform, Freenet can be accessed via a standard web browser or embedded into software via an API.

> Freenet ist apparently 25 years old. I've watched half of this talk (mildly interesting) but I couldn't figure out how they determine the scalar "location" and "distance" between nodes.

 I'd like to read more on recent "evidence" (as good as it gets in nutritional "science") if you have any citations (not disrespecting the scientists, just that it's basically impossible to extract solid knowledge from the science).

PS: I couldn't care less about nutrition cultism. Most people use food to signal which social group or belief system they belong to.

They are all retarded. 
 programming is self-expression  
 What we'll be focussing on for Cashu in the coming months:

- bolt12
- websockets
- blind auth
- fees
- keyset rotations
- on chain
- payment requests
- wallet sync
- any-amount ecash
- cdk mobile app
- mintd
- external mint signer
- HTLC swaps

Most of these are already started projects and many are almost there but need more adoption. Lots to work on! 
 Yes. It's the most exciting thing on that list and a huge thing. 
 Yup, the any-amount ecash will be based on KVAC also used in WabiSabi and Signal! The mint only needs a single private key, and the entire wallet can be stored in just a single nut. All that while also vastly improving privacy (blinded amounts, like confidential transactions). 

It's going to be so fucking beautiful πŸ₯Ή

 It's easily the biggest change in Cashu we ever attempted but it's worth it. 
 Oh you can! Cashu.me is a wallet based on quasar, Vue, pinia, desperately looking for contributors. We also need help with our docs etc. Let's talk, you can DM me on matrix or nip17 me if you like. 
 You got what working? I don't believe that. 
 Yeah but that's the easy mode with broken privacy.

 Paying for Netflix but ending up on the Pirate Bay at the end of the day. This is the way.

 Minbits is better! 
 Did you store the seed phrase? Cashu.me always had seed phrases, it just couldn't recover (another app was required to restore). 
 The first Cashu NIPs have made it into the Nostr specifications!

Congrats to the devs πŸ‘

 Just help them buy Bitcoin. 
 It's still true. 
 This is incredible 🀣 
 I watched his QAnon documentary a couple days prior to this movie's release and I think the guys repeated the same thing he did before. 

In his QAnon docu (which is really good), the 4chan admin basically trolls him the entire docu and then exposes himself as QAnon in a similar (but probably truthful?) troll comment as you did in the Bitcoin documentary. I think he may have thought "well, I found the first guy and he admitted to his identity through trolling, now the same thing is happening with Peter". The main difference being that the 4chan guys are literal knuckleheads.

I can recommend that documentary. 
 "Years ago i had a conversation with Daniel about implementing the possibility to change the IMEI of the device. He is of course aware about the privacy impact a non changeable identifier as the IMEI has. But there is nothing we could do about this. Neither the hardware provides the possibility to do that nor the law allows it. With the exception Africa. This is the only continent where it is explicitly allowed."

They say you're not allowed to change a number stored in a device that you own 🀣

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/5126-imei-and-geolocation-tracking/6 
 Are there portable hotspots that support random IMEI and eSIM? 
 When you have to say this in the very same paragraph you announce your lead investor: "This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.)." 

The enshtification of BlueSky has begun πŸ€™ 
 Anonymous eSIMs were there missing piece for a digital life with dignity.

Without Bitcoin, we wouldn't have those either (imaging having to pay for one with a credit card). 

It's all starting to come together, piece by piece.

 Only one of the parties usually has to contact the server at time of transaction. 
 Those 1 sat tx can become inefficient over time, mints are expected to incurr fees at some point (a minimum fee of 1 sat is realistic). There are msat keysets where this becomes cheaper though.
