being an open-source Bitcoin dev is a dream job: - strong mission. we're building open source money for centuries to come. - excellence. your peers are some of the smartest researchers and developers in the world. - open-source ethos. open-source software is what the entire digital world is built on. be part of the counter-force to proprietary and closed systems. - cryptography. learn how to do magic with numbers, how to give people power with math. - funding. non-profit organizations provide funding for strong Bitcoin developers. put in the work and you'll find support. - politics & economics. bitcoin is a societal experiment. a fixed supply currency as an alternative to infinitely printable fiat money.

> "I think you have to tap to pay," he said. > Now, I don't use any of the Lightning wallets that have implemented tap to pay (as far as I remember there aren't very many) so that wasn't an option. I told him that I needed a QR code to scan. we need to build bitcoin payments that match merchant and customer expectations. we should be aiming to build wallets where there's no ux difference between apple pay and a btc payment.
Attempt number 4 paying bitcoin at a @Square terminal. I think I'm gonna need more than enthusiasm... stacker.news/items/1579358

i'll be speaking at @btcplusplus berlin payments edition next week about our approach to building @NumoPayApp. designing for merchants is very different from designing for end users, but we're working toward a unified payment ux on cashu that makes bitcoin payments as frictionless as possible. tap to pay in cashu wallets and tap to pay receiving in numo is our first step in that direction.

Every week, more of our data is leaked on the internet. And instead of protecting it, Governments around the world continue to expand its collection – “for your safety.” So we decided to make a film about KYC’s real world consequences. WRENCHED - coming soon 🔪

In Berlin for bitcoin++ gets paid? Don't miss @eriklocalhost talk on Numo: our approach to user testing, the feedback that shaped priorities, and where merchant needs diverged from developer assumptions.
