@npub1r7p…nspg looking for a little help on ProxMox. Trying to migrate from VM on old hardware to a VM on new hardware and having trouble mounting old ssd. found something suggesting to setup a USB Passthrough on the new VM and restart the vm and it should see it. You got any thoughts or suggestions. Want to use the Start9 transfer utility so my Lightning channels don’t close.

This is why Bitcoin Wins.....
Congress passed a law (in the *One Big Beautiful Bill Act*) that adds a **1% federal excise tax** on certain **outgoing remittance transfers**—basically, when someone in the U.S. sends money abroad **using cash or similar instruments**. The IRS is now proposing the detailed rules for how that tax will apply.
---
### 💵 When the 1% tax applies
The tax applies **only** when the sender funds the transfer with:
- **Cash**
- **Money orders**
- **Cashier’s checks**
- **Traveler’s checks** (newly added in the proposed regs)
- **A check that the provider cashes** and then uses to fund the transfer (the IRS says this counts as a cash transaction)
It **does NOT apply** when the transfer is funded by:
- A bank account (checking, savings, credit union, etc.)
- A U.S.-issued debit or credit card
---
### 📌 Key points the proposed regulations clarify
- **No small‑provider safe harbor**:
Regulation E normally exempts small remittance providers (under 500 transfers/year).
**The IRS rejected that exemption.**
Even tiny providers must collect the 1% tax.
- **Tax base**:
The 1% is calculated on the **amount sent to the recipient**, including:
- Promotional bonuses or incentives added to the transfer
But **excluding**:
- Service fees
- The excise tax itself
- **Who pays and who files**:
The **sender** owes the tax, but the **remittance transfer provider** must collect it and remit it on **Form 720** quarterly.
If the provider fails to collect it, **they** become liable.
- **Effective date**:
Applies to transfers **after 12/31/2025**.
Taxpayers can rely on these proposed rules until final regulations are issued.
- **Public comments**:
IRS is accepting comments until **June 12, 2026**.
---
### 🧠 What this means in practice
If someone walks into a store or money‑transfer business and pays **cash** to send $500 to another country, the provider must charge an additional **1% excise tax ($5)** and remit it to the IRS.
If the same person pays using a **bank account or debit card**, **no excise tax** applies.
---
If you want, I can break down how this might affect specific businesses (e.g., check cashers, convenience stores, money transmitters) or how compliance works for Form 720.

You’re probably right, 25% is a little aggressive. But I was coming from the angle that there’s not gonna be a big influx of transactions right away so 25% will not be that much for the overall transactions a merchant will have.

It hopefully gets better. But I tried 3 family members a few months back and none could sign up. I contacted support on 2 of them and got it working. Because it worked for me out the gate, I assumed it would for everyone else but that was not the case. I still offer a 5% discount and to help people get setup with Cashapp to pay with bitcoin. I believe in what they are doing and want it to succeed. I want to see all the cc companies burn to the ground. 😂

2026-03-30 00:35:55 UTC

But the normie nonbitcoin crowd will need to use Cashapp to “pay with bitcoin.” Cashapp has a really cool feature where you send cash, they receive cash or bitcoin via the Bitcoin rails. If your not into bitcoin, your not gonna be able to do it any other way. Don’t get me wrong, I like what their doing and I’ve been selling what their doing since November. But they still have pain points for normies to get setup and if the normie has no reason to do it’s they won’t take the time to get it setup.

The merchants have been incentivized, now they have to incentivize their customers. I’m afraid customers have gotten use to the idea that they have to pay the fee to transact with a credit card, that the merchants don’t care anymore. I hate being told I have to pay 2% more (or whatever they want to charge) for the convenience of not using cash.
I’ve been offering a 5% discount for people to pay in bitcoin and promoted Cashapp as my payment of choice since January but still haven’t gotten a payment in bitcoin. I’ve had inquiries and conversations, but that’s it.

Probably turns out to be a nothingburger….but I’m excited about the idea. For the non-bitcoin crowd, it still falls back to a CashApp to Square transaction. They should also make all CashApp transactions run over Bitcoin rails and auto convert 75% to fiat and make the merchant change other 25% to fiat if they don’t Bitcoin like they are making the merchant turn off Bitcoin acceptance instead of allowing them to turn it on.

GM☕️🫂
IRS Extends Relief for Digital Asset Lot Identification Rules: The IRS has issued new guidance extending temporary relief for taxpayers to identify specific units of a digital asset sold or disposed of while in a broker's custody. The relief, originally provided in Notice 2025-7 , is extended for an additional year through 12/31/26. This extension addresses concerns that some custodial brokers are not yet technologically capable of accepting specific identification instructions from customers for their digital asset transactions under Reg. sec. 1.1012-1(j). During the relief period, taxpayers can make an adequate identification by documenting the specific units on their own books and records by the date and time of the sale, rather than communicating the identification to the broker. If a taxpayer does not make an adequate identification, the default first-in, first-out (FIFO) method must be used to determine the basis of the units sold. This relief is limited to digital assets held by a broker. Notice 2026-20 .

I haven't seen the Square dashboard so I can't confirm for sure. I'm wondering if maybe you have to default not to be added? I only have a few merchants in my area accepting bitcoin, but would be surprised to learn they took action to be added to the map.

Awesome Diyana, I’ve been doing the same thing. I’m thinking the BTCMap is an automatic add but could be wrong. I added myself to BitLocal
Map and was simultaneously added to the Cash App and BTCMap. I think they all are using the same date to update. I did a manual add because I’m not a Square merchant but use CashApp to accept bitcoin payments.

I’d like to see the next year’s board sell out and we have a real board with real payouts. It’s always fun no matter the payout.

Square Board Update….
We’re at 37, 13 more squares make the board. At this point I don’t see use getting to 100. I’ll be adjusting the inventory in 4 hours if square sales haven’t changed to reflect this change.
If you’re having reservations about buying a square because it may not make, don’t worry, I’ll refund the sats. I’m not doing this for sats, I’m doing it for fun.

Super Bowl Square Board Update…
30 squares sold, 19 different Nostriches. We need another 20 to make a board, or 70 to have the big payouts.
If you’re on the board, first of all thanks for playing. Keep promoting the board for the next 18 hours. We need 50 slots to get the game. For those playing for the first time, I’ll cut the game, you’ll get 2 for 1 slots, and will 1/2 the payout schedule if it looks like we won’t fill the board. I’m still paying everything but the payouts are based on participation.

I really hope we fill the main board so I don’t have to run two boards and deal with refunds. I’ll initial limit the buy in to 2 squares. That gives 50 plebs an opportunity to play. I’ll stay off the board if needed as well.

A square board is not betting. It’s a 100% game of chance. The board is made up of a 10x10 grid. (100 squares). Your purchase gives you a square on the board. When all 100 squares have been purchased, then the squares are randomly assigned to each participant. After all squares are assigned, the numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to the x and y axis of the board, as well as the teams get assigned, one to the x axis, one to the right axis. Then at the end of each quarter, the last digit in each score is used to find the winner. Here’s an example….
Say Q1 ends and the score is 10-8 and x has 10 and y has 8. You find the zero on the x axis, find the 8 on the y axis, and wherever they intersect is the winner. The board is published before game time so there’s no funny business. It makes the game more exciting to watch and usually I see people use it as fundraisers. So if they sold squares for $20 fiat, they’d keep 1/2 money for their cause (a softball team, a dance team, etc raising money for traveling expenses) and then give away the other half. Im doing it for fun. I’ll charge 10 sats per square to help cover routing fees, but other than that, I’ll pay all sats back out.
If interested, be sure and follow. It looks like there’s enough interest that I’ll do it.

2026-02-03 01:58:03 UTC

Ok Nostriches, who wants to have another SuperBowl Square Game? If there’s interest, I’ll do it again. This would the the 4th Annual Nostr SuperBowl Square Board, so I’d like to keep it going. But I know my engagement has been down lately. I’ve been really busy with IRL issues, but I’m guessing we all have. Anyway, my node was off line for a week due to the recent ice storm here, but should be back in operation tomorrow. Here’s how it will go down if we play….each square is 15k, if we make 50 squares and can’t get all 100 sold, I’ll split the board and the 1st 50 will each get 2 for 1 squares and payouts will be based on 7500 buy in. I’ll make a second board assuming we get another 25 squares sold, if not, I’ll refund the squares for over 50.
I will charge 10 sats per square for routing fees. Other than that, all sats get paid out. I do this for fun; not for sats.
So, who wants to play? Super Bowl LX will take place on Feb. 8, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. ET, or 3:30 p.m. on the West Coast, where the Super Bowl will be held this year. So we don’t have much time to fill the board. @npub1tvq…krq4 @npub15u3…05rq @npub1kzv…uy6l @npub1yx6…7kza @npub12gu…fle6 @npub1x5f…yfmn @npub1v40…2y09

Don’t know what they fixed but wish I could get direct connection to whoever it was since this looks to be a problem with any non bitcoiner’s that will try to use this feature.

4th Annual Super Bowl Square Board planning session in progress. What’s your preferred buy in price? I’d love to do a 20k sat buy in with 100 individual participants. Payout would be 400k on Q1,Q2,Q3, and 800k for Q4.
In fiat terms, $20 buy in for $375 or $750 payout (end of game) would be a fun board. Is that too much?

@npub1ds3…hzcn I was reading after I wrote you and see that the accounts must be verified. I just completed both account verifications tonight as well. So maybe it takes a few hours for everything to get activated and working. Please confirm if that’s the case. I’m hoping to have some students that want to pay with Bitcoin and I’ll need to know how to answer their questions and/or help them get setup if the too don’t have the option to pay with cash via Bitcoin.

@npub1ds3…hzcn I’m in the process of setting up and accepting Bitcoin payments for my martial arts dojo and have planned on having my students use Cashapp to pay with Bitcoin. Today I tested two CashApp accounts (my wife and my adult child) and neither had an option to use the cash “pay-through” option like I have and expected everyone else to have. What’s going on with their accounts that they don’t have this option and how do I go about getting them access to this functionality?

There’s also the problem of customer education. While it’s an easy task to explain to a store owner they can dramatically reduce processing fees, receive funds instantly, and have no threat of charge backs, you still need people to opt to pay in Bitcoin.
Unfortunately so many merchants have started passing the fee to the customer and the customer has accepted the additional costs.
I’ve taken the initiative to have these stickers printed and give them to merchants accepting ₿itcoin payments as a way to try and start a conversation with the customer. Because at the moment, that is the disconnect and unless merchant is a bitcoiner to begin with, they don’t really have the incentive to initiate the discussion.
I’ll be happy to send You and Derek some to give out if you have area merchants that would post them.

Successfully delivered these to Square merchants that accept ₿itcoin in my area. In the near future, one merchant will be reopening a long established restaurant/bar that was shuttered a year or so back. I have no doubt, they plan to accept ₿itcoin payments when they get open. I’ll make sure they have some of these to display in prominent places.
@npub1cas…dg5l should automatically send these to all Square merchants that have turned on this feature. If merchants want their customers to pay in ₿itcoin, they have to make sure the customer knows it’s an option.

I just tested it and looks like its works for me. (What I remembered). It says the minimum for a cash payment was a $1. Is it possible you tried with less than $1? I didn’t complete the transfer but got to this screen and no errors.

The cool thing is that Cash App removed one point of friction when they don’t have enough bitcoin, it will just pull from the cash balance or a connected bank account. At least that what happened to me when demoing a Square Terminal Lightning payment using Cash App. It didn’t even ask to select “pay from Bitcoin” or a “Cash Bal.” It just automatically pulled from a connected bank account.

Yes, I wish that Cash App would go ahead and get setup like Strike where the receiving wallet decides how to receive the payment. This would cut down on friction.
As for Cash App, they can still paste the Lightning Invoice into the Bitcoin Tab and pay with cash balance.

You are correct, I realized why I did it this way before seeing this. An invoice needs to be generated in Strike for it work. (Cash App pays a lightning invoice to Strike).
By using BTCPayserver, it allows my customer to create the invoice/QR code when they’re ready to pay their invoice.
If you are being paid in person, you could generate the QR code/invoice in Strike and let them pay using Cash App. Since I send out invoices each month with terms to pay by the 10th, that wouldn’t work for me.

This is my own instance of BTC Payserver on my personal node. I’m pretty sure you could receive directly to a Strike account wallet address and receive in BTC even if they sent cash. But Cash App hasn’t set that up yet. It would just be easier for Cash App to Cash App using the Cash App tags if they are already used to sending to your Cash App address.

Good Morning/Evening Marie, had a Christmas Party with the wifey last night so just got around to working on my LN problem. Think I have it fixed now. Running your on node gets tricky sometimes. Been busy and haven’t paid much attention to it lately. 💜🫂

Promoting the option of paying with ₿itcoin for my martial arts dojo. Staring in January 2026, every invoice will have a QR code that points to my personal Node running @npub155m…dcvg connected to my business @npub1ex7…vyt9 account, promoting payments via @npub1cas…dg5l.
It could just as easily be connected to my personal Lightning wallet if I wanted, but for now I want to teach others about easy options to get into ₿itcoin payments. 💪🏻

I gift using River. It’s a good way to on board family. I like Cash App too and probably should consider that as another option to get friends to use it. I’m looking for ways to get friends off of Venmo/Paypal and on @npub1cas…dg5l

You think we will get a ₿itcoin sale for Christmas? I kinda hope so. I give ₿itcoin to the people I care about. What about you?
