Freedom tech just hits different. You can build your own payment system in whatever way works for you and without asking.

Imagine building something like this on the legacy fiat rails…

Honestly, this is pretty wild. While at the cottage, a friend of mine informed he spun up an instance of #nostr #safebox using my zero-config docker container behind a Cloudflare reverse-proxy.

I immediately got myself a wallet, issued my own NFC payment card, and connected to my Alby Go client on my iPhone.

Using my Android phone and another instance of #nostr #safebox I made a payment to (yes, payment to) the newly-issued NFC card. I then saw the payment transaction on my Alby Go client on my iPhone.

Using the NFC card, I can make payments from AND payments from. I also can send records to the holder of the NFC card. Basically, I have created a fully functional wallet where you don't even need to carry around your phone- just the card. If you lose the card - no problem - I have built in PIN authentication and you can re-issue your own card making your old one useless.

#nostr #safebox is turning into a fully functional payment (send and receive!) payment network that will also be able to send and receive records. And you don't even need to have a phone!
