Amazing! I just finished zaps in HAMSTR, next cashu offline payments. Then adding reticulum network support allowing for ham radio, Lora, bluetooth, serial connections, tcpip and any other combination. Goal is to make unstoppable nostr and payments over any possible network connection.

LFG

One of crypto's big drawbacks is: what happens when the internet goes down? Does the economy just come to a screeching halt when it happens? Bitchat is a Bluetooth mesh network that helps solve this problem. If the net goes down, people can still buy and sell crypto as usual, until the day the internet comes back up. We need more apps similar to this. While it has been funded by Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, it is open source on Github and in the public domain, and so far runs on Android. iOS, and macOS.

I hate to sound stupid but can someone please explain what cashu is? Is it like lightning payments? How is it different?

Fuckin’ cool, great work! 🤘

👀👀

So cool! May be is a stupid question, how this would work if the receiver still needs internet to verify the funds? Does it make sense?

Bullish

Dang man 🔥 Question. How are you running bitch@ on Android?

I'd like to create one of those Nostr lists/packs to follow this group's work. Any suggestions on how to do that would be appreciated.

Playing with a friend both on android and we cannot see each other. Is that expected? Any settings I missed? And great work as always!!

We are so early View quoted note →

you could extend this to meshtastic i guess

You're making history 👊⚡️

Does anyone know when iOS will be out of beta/testflight? Still full.

This is it.

LFG

this is insane View quoted note →

I am very excited about that, but I can't see this being widely used unless it is embeded in Whatsapp or other mainstream app. Can Bitchat become the mainstream app?

Game changer

I’m wondering how to update my app since I ported it from Xcode onto my phone. Unless we’ll have to wait or manually update from Xcode

ว๊าว!! พัฒนากันเร็วมากมี cashu wallet ใน Bitchat ด้วย #Siamstr

Of course, you only want to do this with people you kinda trust. Otherwise you'd want an internet connection to validate and re-mint the coins. But that's how eCash works. Convenience + Privacy with increased trust/risk. VERY COOL

Yet another way to get sats onto the @npub1m3tu...m888 bitcoinize point of sale terminal. Plus every small vendor can be an always-on a bitchat node.

cool stuff View quoted note →

I tried it in LA but looks like I was not around techies at that time 😉 It is a very promising app 👍

Yeah boi!!!!

This is wild

This is the new cache.

awesome

bullish af

sending bitcoin over bluetooth between bitchat android and iphone. both have a native cashu ecash wallet built in. the ecash travels directly from phone to phone. the sender needs no internet. like instant and untraceable digital cash. it's going to be insane. work in progress with @npub1qjgc...lgjw , @npub1f742...rpa3, @erik , @npub1ce7d...3d7m , @npub1dvdc...d4rm et al.

i see people bitch about LLM's being shit, that they can't code or think and all the standard cope of people resisting change but then you look around nostr and you see AI driven revolution in freedom tech, from ex big tech CEO's vibing new P2P apps to nostr apps being created by people who would never think they will create an app, let alone one that other people would use. We're at the stage where big tech VC substituted gpu time gives us insane arbitrage in producing insane amount of new applications, explore the design space and try out ideas that would've taken months of someones free time. We should use this opportunity to expand our frontiers, explore ideas that we otherwise wouldn't, bring as many people in, create nicer development ecosystems, make cool shit just because we can. We must work towards creating value and businesses that will sustain this in the long run, enable us to build our own infrastructure and our ecosystem. Between cheap LLMs and grants in this space, with all the tooling that is being created we can outbuild the authoritarian world because we have the secret sauce -> we default to open collaboration, exchange of ideas and open source code. WE CAN JUST DO THINGS. View quoted note →

So cool! Permission-less payments peer2peer! View quoted note →

this is huge

Very cool and interesting, be good to get my head around it when I get a chance!

you can just bitchat things

A bit misleading when we say “sending bitcoin over Bluetooth” but I get the point. Really cool build on the layers of bitcoin. We need to start translating this to the normies so adoption is easier. Cashu ~ usd paper note stored in your back pocket leather wallet. Leather wallets ~ digital device with usd paper (cashu). Give one note to friend via Bluetooth on your digital device. When internet comes back, device syncs up with mint (kind of like you going to your bank and deposit dollars) mint takes care of layer 1 settlement (aka bitcoin) This really is just like the 80’s & 90’s when we were building the OSI Model. We can almost say Bitcoin is the 8th layer! https://bitsnbytes.space/2025/01/31/bitcoin-the-8th-layer-of-the-osi-model-the-trust-layer/ Really cool build. Looking forward to playing with it!

This is blowing my mind. “Build the tools and the world you want”

How is double spending avoided while offline?

🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO // LEVELING UP: BLUETOOTH BITCOIN OPS INITIATED 🚨 No internet? No problem. This is spycraft for the sovereign era. Imagine explaining to a normie: “Yeah, I just beamed sats from my Android to your iPhone over Bluetooth while standing in line for tacos. No servers, no middlemen, no surveillance—just pure, raw freedom packets.” At this point, Fort Nakamoto is considering issuing Bluetooth satchel charges to the troops. This isn’t just peer-to-peer—it’s pocket-to-pocket, zap-to-zap, money-in-the-airwave madness. Satoshi’s dream just got firmware upgraded. Can’t wait to see this live. #FortNakamoto #BluetoothBitcoin #CashuInYourPocket #OfflineFreedom #PeerToPeerToPleb

Cool

Não funcionou em motorola-g34, a barra para digitar fica abaixo dos botoes de controle do telefone. Favor levantar para melhor compatibilidade, no sansung funcionou normalmente pois a barra é diferente @calle @jack

Where can I get access to this?

Ok that sounds cool

@The Daniel 🖖 we wanted to try this Still do 🥹🫶🏻

Pretty neat.

Agora consigo usar após sua atualização , muito obrigado

Olá, por que quando deixamos os celulares parados um tempo sem conversa a conexão é perdida , só depois de fechar e abrir de novo volta a conectar ? Não seria o caso de deixar algum loop, checando a conexão constantemente, pois o ideal pra mim é ,deixar ele aberto e ele simplesmente conectar a todas as pessoas próximas e manter essa conexão . por que quando escolho alguém para falar no privado, as mensagem aparecem no chat público. não da para separar ? ao escolher alguém para falar fica privado só com esse contato. pra mim está faltando uma lista de tutorial de comandos ? deveria ter algo no menu , enviar satoshi, configurar carteira, esse /send /saldo /como faço . algum menu acima seria bom Obrigado por isso.

Yes!🙌
