For me, whether or not your avatar is animated depends on which nostr client I am using.

Coracle - animated but your name there is 'HODLr' instead of 'BitBees'

Hi Mohamed,
One strategy I found helpful was looking at the profile of the people that you follow (ex. Jack or Pablo in your case), and on THIER profile pages, you can see a list of who THEY follow. And you can browse that list and add any names that jump out to you as familiar.

Yeah, I didn't test that yet.
Just testing offline receiving to confirm that the sender couldn't pull back the funds if they got to internet first. (Which they could not. They couldn't claim the token to one of their own accounts since it was locked to the original recipient's public key).
I suppose if you knew that every Saturday you would pay the local rancher 100 sats for whatever, that you could make a stack of ready to go QR codes that ONLY that person could cash in.
You could print out a stack of QR codes that are like cash except locked to the recipient. (Who can melt them down and spend the sats anywhere they wanted) instead of locked to an establishment like a regular gift card.

Just verified myself.
Sender (my laptop) can't clawback the payment because I went out of my way to lock the ecash to the public key of the recipient (my phone).
My phone (offline) has a "later" button when receiving offline.
It shows up in my offline phone's transaction history when press the receive "later" button. But you can see at the time how much the ecash token is worth and the fact that it is locked to your public key (can't be redeemed by anyone else before you can get to WiFi).
Offline instantaneous receiving of sats that are tied to your public key. Amazing.

It uses the nostr based "yelp" for ecash mints bitcoinmints.com
So it can give you ratings and reviews to help you decide which mint(s) you want to connect with. Now rather than go to that site separately, it looks like you can see the various mint ratings from within cashu.

Maybe the sats button should be that orange colour that you used, and the USD side of the toggle should maybe be a green colour? ( for the "greenback")? So you can tell if you are in digital gold mode or digital fiat mode.

I think so. The same logic of consolodate utxo's when the fees are down, also applies to converting some on-chain btc into walking around money (lightning/ecash) while the fees are low.

Fellow Canadian here, the Minibits.cash app can give you a free zap receive address that you can use with Nostr.

2024-03-10 23:08:26

- reply

I just paid you 21 sats from my minibits wallet. Fees were zero sats.
Over time, the value of those 21 sats will increase. The value of sats can increase, and dust limit for base chain UTXOs can rise based on higher fees. Not mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
That super high dust limit you describe applies to the base layer. Where it is absolutely something to keep in mind when DCA'ing. No argument there.
Dust limit for lightning is quite a bit lower. Occasional 2 sats on a 210 sat zap.
Dust limit for ecash moving in a circular economy is ...zero? Until you pay a lightnkng fee if you want to swap mints to a different circular economy.

If someone is brand new to nostr they currently will have trouble using npub.cash because it requires a nip-07. And before you say Alby, that door is currently shut and new Alby accounts are by invite only. And that friend you are onboarding to nostr probably doesn't have their own lightning node either.
Minibits seems to accomplish the same goal (receive address for nostr zaps) but without needing Alby or any other extension. Incoming zaps are converted to ecash (nuts) in the background for you. You can send send and receive sats or ecash (nuts). Not a paid promotion. Just an option for people having trouble getting a nip-07.

2024-02-22 19:34:22

Minibits works well enough for me. It asks a second click which of your mints to spend from (sats or ecash). If thats what you mean. I don't mind that at all.
I liked Cashu, then eNuts added Nostr address book, and now Minibits is a game changer. An easy receive mechanism for Nostr zaps (via converting to ecash in the background). Damn Minibits is truly awesome.
