Paying with lightning is actually pretty damn private..

2025-04-21 11:51:12

Is usdt now working on lightning?
Speed Wallet seems to have integrated it, but I didn’t hear anything about it in the news..

Every bank has an app that can handle both saving and spending accounts.
To me it would be ridiculous if they told me now that I need to use different apps for different amounts.

Well if you are your own bank it’s kind of ridiculous that this bank can’t even pay for a beer isn’t it?
A bank must be able to handle every type of transaction, big and small.
With Bitcoin we can do this using different technologies. We just need to put them together in one great app.

“When LN came along I just added it to my payment options” - this is exactly the problem. People can’t use all Bitcoin payment options in one wallet. They need one for cold storage, one for LN, one for ecash and so on.
Why not just combine all of them?
- Ecash has the best UX for beginners, instant and free onboarding and amazing privacy
-LN sucks with onboarding but after one gets over it (in the meantime they can use ecash) it can be used in a selfcustodial way.
-onchain is obviously best for long term saving
Combine those three and you get the best wallet currently possible.

Well, I am that user that tries to give developers an idea of what people want.
Basically its something like @nprofile…nfge or @npub1tcn…ctu0 but with lightning and ecash.
I’m definitely willing to pay a 5-20€ fee per month, less if they offer a yearly subscription. Quality has a price.
The customer journey should be something like this:
1. User downloads the app, no registration needed. Its free to use forever, but limited to the custodial (ecash) version.
2. User can make as many free and instant transactions as they want. Again, ecash only.
3. After the user selects a payed plan, he should just provide an email address for the backup to be send to (obviously no kyc).
4. Now the app opens non custodial lightning channels. But I don’t want to be informed about it. The UX should stay exactly the same as it was before. (Don’t show my mints, don’t show how much I have in ecash and how much in lightning. No one cares. I just want to see how much bitcoin I have).
5. Ones the user has more than 1000€ in Bitcoin, it gets stored on a 2-3 multisig. 1 phone key, 1 hardware wallet, 1 app provider
In the settings I think users should be able to personalize a whole lot of things (like the amount of sats when it switches from ecash to lightning and from lightning to onchain) but for regular users it should not be visible right away.
Also I don’t want to be asked about how much transaction fees I want to pay. Obviously it should always be zero.
If fees apply the wallet provider should cover them (thats why I pay a monthly/yearly fee). But since most transactions will be ecash/lightning, that shouldn’t be an issue.
No one cares whats going on under the hood. What’s relevant is the amount of sats, a transaction history, and the send and receive functions.

If no one uses it to make transaction miner will go broke and the network becomes insecure.
Bitcoin can’t be a store of values only.

I think we have to reevaluate the thesis..

2025-03-31 19:08:56

If people don’t even use layer one when it’s almost free, how can we expect them to use it when fees are high?

I joined not because its the best social media platform but because I want it to become the best and I think the more people actively use it the better chance it has to achieve this goal.

How do we know though if they don’t finance part of their operations in Bitcoin?
Shouldn’t Bitcoin be for enemies?
Shouldn’t they be able to also finance immoral activities in a private uncensorable way?

I didn’t say custodial solutions have no value. What I’m saying is that it’s not an acceptable way to scale Bitcoin.
Having the majority of Bitcoin trusted to third parties brings not just personal risk to the user that does, but also systemic risk because we wouldn’t be able to validate the total supply anymore.

2025-02-26 10:54:55

⚠️Custodial #Bitcoin is not Bitcoin⚠️
❔So why do we pretend it’s an acceptable way to scale it?

Any ideas?

I have a communist friend who I would like to introduce to nostr but I’m afraid he will be scared of all you Bitcoin psychopaths 🙈😂

Actually the only reason I still use twitter is its content, but there is a solution to that..

2024-09-13 11:11:20

Can we have #bots on #nostr that replicate #twitter posts so we literally don’t need to go to twitter to see #content?

2024-09-13 09:57:27

Is anyone aware of a consultant that helps clients self custody their #Bitcoin?
I bet many people would book such a service.. I certainly would! 🤓

Moreover all shops have to be sustainable and we manually check all of them.
Here is how we define sustainability:

2024-09-10 14:04:39

We will implement both ASAP. 💪
(but since we are a very small team it might take us some time)
Please feel welcome to further test and critique. Feedbacks like yours are incredibly helpful, so thank you!🙏
Regarding our vision of decentralization in the retail industry I want to make clear that small-shops.com was purposely designed as a centralized platform (centralization usually is much more efficient). But I hate the fact that retail is getting more and more dominated by big, international players (H&M, Zara, you name it).
This is why we are building a platform only for the small, sustainable ones. You can think of it as some sort of Etsy for small businesses.
Our definition of “small” is in line with the definition of the EU:
1. They must have less than 50 employees and a yearly revenue of less than 10 million €.

Shipping is handled by the shops, we just connect buyers and sellers.
Some of the shops do ship to the UK, in the checkout you can add an address and we will then calculate the shipping costs and availability.
A profile is needed so you just have to add your address ones. Also it helps us suggest relevant products.
Even though the marketplace is already live and functional, I would like to note, that it’s still a wip and we encourage improvement proposals 🤓

2024-09-10 10:32:02

✨We are building a #marketplace for #ecofriendly products made by small, local shops:

Our target is to #decentralize retail while improving #Bitcoin adoption among #normies 🤓

Hopefully on Nostr I‘m allowed to say that „government“ is a fancy word for „mafia“ 🙂

The only reason I would ever own gold is to prepare for huge economic crisis followed by war and mass electricity shortages.
in this case I can’t do shit with stocks (goldminer), gold bars or even Bitcoin.
One needs weapons, water, food and tiny gold coins for trade.
For every scenario thats less dramatic, Bitcoin works best.
In no scenario at all, gold bars are of any use.

Owning gold only makes sense if you have it in the form of coins.

I’ve got to admit that #nostr doesn’t suck as much as it did a year ago.
It’s actually a great alternative to #Bitcoin Twitter
Hopefully there will be also more content outside of our bubble 🫧
