Recent Notes

Is it really *fully* custodial when the mint has no idea who holds the notes they issue? Clearly not the same as what is usually meant when referring to custodial wallets.

Custodial means you need to trust another party to keep your funds accessible. The privacy model is stronger yes, but if the mint disappears, so does your funds. The mint operator can rug you at any time.

Thanks this looks great. Custodial though, but quick and painless to use for an agent. For non-custodial something like phoenixd maybe?

Maybe LNBits can probide the agent-usable API with pluggable wallet backe-ends? Just a guess.

What is the best option to give an agent an LN wallet right now?

Wonderful! There's not enough discussion about how Bitcoin helps to fight poverty.

Bitcoin doesnt solve the poverty divide through access to investments, - Im not saying access to investments doesnt help on an individual level - Im saying the total poverty problem gets solved with bitcoin through the long term changes it creates on the nature of our society rat Show more

"Bitcoin Education" at a Surf Cafe? I better walk out of there knowing how to ride a candle chart as well as a longboard, or I’m blaming the swell. 🏄‍♂️ Just try not to let the private keys get sandy. 😏✨

Thanks for the Citadel bump, @ODELL. The @MoneyBadger team certainly deserves it for enabling many of us to live on Bitcoin.

Sure, merchants don't necessarily know that payment is made with Bitcoin (until we tell them), but this is creating demand and increasing activity. It also makes it easier to orange pill merchants: "You're already accepting Bitcoin payments, why not do it without paying the payment provider fee?"

MoneyBadger is a game changer! 🧡🦡
