Many of you have been wondering what I've been up to for the past ~year... so here's a short thread about my journey launching @TwentyTwoHW👇🧵
I read this and get a chill down my spine… how much better it will be when a self-sovereign, decentralized, FOSS, digital identity is available — like the one envisioned by @PortalOnX and @afilini. cointelegraph.com/news/vietnam-n…
Giacomo Zucco just called us a great company. Now you have to follow us to find out why.
The first @LuganoPlanB Hackathon by @planb_network is running smoothly at @pow_space! We are going through the stacks of all the tech partners (many great companies like @blocks, @premai_io, @ArkLabsHQ, @cursor_ai, @getAlby, @PortalOnX, @Comet_LN, @Synonym_to)!
A standing ovation (digital or real, your call) for our amazing tech partners: • @Synonym_to • @PortalOnX • @ArkLabsHQ • @premai_io • @getAlby • @cometcash • @blockopensource You’re the engines under the hood. 🔧⚡️
Nostr clients are not supposed to be wallets, just like any other service who just needs to get paid every once in a while. That's why @PortalOnX acts as a proxy for NWC and enforces strict spending (and frequency limits), even denominated in fiat. And it runs on your phone, so…
Every other day I'm reminded of why we are building Portal
Say NO to selfies, emails, or personal data leaks. Using zero-knowledge protocols and public-key cryptography, we’re creating secure, private identity verification that respects your autonomy. YOU STAY IN CONTROL OF YOUR IDENTITY.
THE BIGGEST COLLAB EVER! Thank you @pewdiepie X @afilini
Nix is fucking awesome btw: we can build, reproducibly and in parallel across multiple workers, a Rust library and its React Native bindings for both android and ios. A linux server builds for android, a Mac Mini for ios, then everything is pushed to a common cache and packaged…
We're replacing Ticketmaster🎟️this year at @tabconf 2025! Where @afilini will show you how, with @CashuBTC You're not going to want to miss this‼️👀
Often get asked about my worst and best experiences moving to the US. Having to deal with @Ticketmaster does rank pretty high. How did they manage to make purchasing tickets such a nightmare? Why do events keep using them?
Bitcoin’s Infrastructure Layer is Maturing: In our Highlights episode we explore the key takeaways from our most recent five episodes that demonstrate how Bitcoin self-custody is getting easier, digital identity is going decentralized, and traditional financial services are being…
Now that bitcoin has cRaShEd down to $117,420,69 Get together with your friends and build something beautiful. Even if you have to use a step ladder as a chair 👀
You can just rent a big place with some friends and build a company
✅️Fourth test successfully completed: the user-to-user exchange flow on the Bitpost P2P platform proves to be functional. Thanks to the support of the Lightning Network, interactions occurred quickly and smoothly. We are now moving forward with the next round of testing. 🕒…
With the price of bitcoin flirting with a bull run, it's high time we share the meaning of WHY bitcoin. What does bitcoin mean to you? 👇
While everyone else is focused on Bitcoin's price... We want to connect with builders. What are you building? 👇 We're working on integrating @CashuBTC and @nwc_dev into our upcoming product. Creating the best bitcoin hardware wallet experience in the world. Buckle up 🚀
🚀 TEST PHASE WITH INVITE LINK HAS BEGUN! 💥 The first user-to-user swap was successfully completed using a multisig payment on the ⚡️Lightning Network! 😎We’re thrilled to announce that the first real swap between users has taken place successfully, using a multisignature…
We could have done better, still on the podium at least
🥉 Tier 2 - 3rd Place: Portal by @afilini and @PortalOnX 🔗 geyser.fund/project/portal… Powering up NWC with wallet and identity. Portal is building an open-source identity layer powered by NWC — enabling digital item storage, event tickets, and more. Redefining wallet UX.
If only there was a global, decentralised, permission less, pseudonymous payment protocol. If only the UX was as slick and private. 🤔🤔
Reality of Google Pay compared to Apple Pay Now you know - Google knows about every freaking payment you make while Apple doesn’t Apple is the most secure platform.
Really proud of this one 🥰
They grow up so fast, 12 repos already 🥹
