This all started when I saw a post by Scoresby about Agicash #1488226

I really liked the UX of this wallet which used to be called Boardwalk Cash

But it is a Cashu wallet which I know Justin has no time for, and the Lightning part is probably spark, I haven't looked but I probably don't need to

Anyway after playing about with the wallet for a bit I forgot about it and it got lost in all the other apps

Then on Bitcoin pizza 🍕 day I noticed Agicash were asking on Nostr for people to quote their favourite toppings for a chance to win 21K sats

In for a sat in for a Bitcoin, I duly added my reply using an ingredient that started with A, G, I...etc you get the picture

And to my surprise I had a DM from Agicash with a cashu tokenAnd to my surprise I had a DM from Agicash with a cashu token

Wow 👌 👏 I duly added it to cashu me to claim them.... 21K sats it said, add to unknown mint? Or add to trusted mint?

Obviously trusted, ping, go!....... err not so fast..error failed to recieve

Hmmm?? Should I add an untrusted mint? Could it be a trojan horse? Oh fuck it, just add it!

Boom 💥 21K sats recieved to Bitcoin pizza mintBoom 💥 21K sats recieved to Bitcoin pizza mint

Right ✅️ let's get these babies into a wallet, hmmm let's go with Shockwallet, I'm prepared to pay a few sats on Ln fees

OK send.....err error....failed to send via Lightning

Hmm wtf are these things, what's the point of sats if you can't send them

Did a little bit of digging on Agicash's page and they state that these sats are spendable via Square terminals


OK whoa whoa whoa.... is it me or am I getting CBDC vibes here??OK whoa whoa whoa.... is it me or am I getting CBDC vibes here??

enter Justin...told you lol 😆

Are you telling me that I can only spend these sats via a square terminal?

Now, let's be clear, I might have this wrong and misunderstood it

Annnnnndd!! There's an expiration date on these sats? Wtf?Annnnnndd!! There's an expiration date on these sats? Wtf?

enter Justin...you foolish boy

Some time in late June apparently


So, the other thing is, I've messed about moving these into cashu me, are they even spendable? No frickin idea, have I tainted them


Anyhoo, I don't actually have any square terminals near me, I've looked on btcmap to no avail

And I was wondering would anyone like these sats? If you have a square terminal near you?

How should I distribute them stackers?

I was thinking dividing it into 10 lots of 2100 sats won't even buy a coffee, and giving all 21K sats to one stacker leaves everyone else out

So I thought 21 goes 3 ways nicely, how about 7K sats each to 3 stackers? 7K sats should get you a slice of pizza 🍕 or a coffee and a cake maybe?

I was thinking of everyone who comments, adding their nym to 'wheel of names com' and pick 3 winners

What do you think 🤔

If you have them in cashu.me that shouldn't be an issue. What's the mint url?

Also: have you tried sending a smaller amount over LN?

reply

The mint url is in the pic above

And yes sent 500 sats to no avail

Yeah on the mint config page there it shows that spends are restricted. It also said that on their nostr post though 😂

I did say i may have misunderstood it

I think the problem is calling it "sats". For all the complaints about Liquid, the best thing they did was calling it LBTC, to intrinsically make clear that the one is not the other.

How sexy!

reply

Sent you a cashu token to your Nostr DM

reply

Woaah amazing. Play time!

reply

You could try selling those fake sats to someone who lives near the terminal. You can make a post on ~AGORA territory!

reply

Lol I'd rather give back to SN 🙏

I'm surprised that they pulled this trick on you. I, too, liked boardwalk.cash and even received some gift sats (ecash tokens) from them back when the were first experimenting with that. I never had trouble sending them to a lightning wallet though.

The idea of sticking expiry times on them and gating where they can be sent is seriously uncool.

reply

I may have misunderstood in agicash's defence but that's what it looks like

reply

Does the wallet provider requires KYC or similar tricks?

If this sats are only to be use through a square terminal then I doubt I will be able to use them too.
