Actually depending on the situation I wouldn't mind placing the order on the webpage. If we're doing this through phones then do it right. A superfast simple website, click to order, pay with Bitcoin,...

It sucks that a lot of major fast food restaurant establishments are pushing towards non-contact menu ordering through their apps and offer rewards platform-locked to their services only

Which also requires signing up for them to sell your data as part of their revenue model

Family/dine-in restaurants may be going down that direction, too, for convenience and efficiency because their business model greatly depends on online advertising to bring in more foot traffic but at the cost of data retention to sell to advertisers

Even SteakNShake requires an account or data before checkout and reward distribution

It's cool to see how many people have started genuinely caring about their privacy after governments began pushing heavily for age verification and VPN bans. It's very validating to know that people c...

@Tim Bouma pushed three NIPs to close the full NSP stack – derivation (PR #2355 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2355), receipt notifications (PR #2362 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2362), and a Silent Wallet Connect NIP modeled on NIP-47 (PR #2369 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2369).

The stack handles on-chain privacy cleanly but the wallet service is still a surveillance point – a third-party operator accumulates a complete payment graph regardless of what BIP-352 does on-chain. Posted a design note on splitting the wallet service into two blind TEE-attested components so neither operator can reconstruct who paid whom.

The TEE guarantee is probabilistic not mathematical and doesn’t touch amount privacy or timing correlation – but it closes the operator surveillance gap. Curious if this maps to anything you’ve been thinking about on the OpenETR side.

Signing up with SMS seems so out-of-touch with the current reality of today’s technology & privacy methods

I get that friction has to be implemented somewhere, but SMS is def not the way to do it

potential malicious data harvesting on obsolete tech is part of why we left legacy platforms and migrated to nostr
