Cashu is not bitcoin. It's the most privacy-preserving way to use any token based transaction. Tickets? 🎟️ Certificates? 📃 APIs? 🖥️ Any challenge <-> response, that you want. Might not be ideal in EVERY case, but the possibilities are endless. 🥜

❤️Why I Created Bitpost 🔥Bitpost P2P born from anger and the desire for redemption, then grown by choice. 😔This wasn’t a project planned on paper. Bitpost was born from real frustration. From the urge to solve a need shared by the entire Bitcoin community. Too many

This is the problem with big tech and how we interact with the internet today. Why are we still relying on big tech companies to store our identity, data and control our money?? We have the resources to create a different world. A world where the individual is sovereign. Try

They don't know we're going to use ecash as more than just payments between people. More than just machine to machine. We're going to replace all tokens and credentials and tickets and vouchers, and even more 👀 Follow us to find out how! Launch is getting closer and closer!
it's pretty sick but tbh it was bound to happen once we have a micropayment system for bitcoin that just works. in the bitcoin space, we're very focussed on the user-facing wallet use case. machines paying machines is a wholly different (and very big) pie though.

This is one of the most innovative projects building on Cashu.
While the incumbents require you to opt out of class action lawsuits, The cypherpunks are building Ticketmaster 🎟️ replacements with Ecash lile @CashuBTC While the incumbents collect and hoard your data, Ecash comes with built-in privacy. Few.

Auth in 2025 sucks. Wasted time, honey pots, data leaks, 101 steps just to log in. Billions spent each year, and it still sucks. This is why we need an open-source protocol that's seamless, decentralized, secure, puts the user back in control & just works. We're building it.
I'm so sick of authentication in 2025. I spend no less than 30 minutes a day authenticating to services. Passkey is awful, yubikey has gotten replaced by it, we havent removed the infinite OTP flows, corporate SAML is a tire fire. This thing needs completely gutted.
