📢 AMA with gandlaf: Unveiling ***PROXNUT***!

bitcoin

Hey Stacker Community! It's gandlaf here. 🚀

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session about [PROXNUT](https://proxnut.com). PROXNUT is a Cashu proxy crafted to protect and monetize web resources, and I can't wait to delve deeper into it with you all.

📌 What's PROXNUT All About?  
At its core, PROXNUT integrates seamlessly with a Cashu, enabling users to access protected web resources using tokens. It's a bridge between content providers aiming to monetize their content and users who value it. The system works completely stateless and requires no accounts and no sign ups, and enables monetization of APIs, content and more, with privacy by default. 

📅 Date & Time: Drop your questions now! I will be answering them tomorrow from 08:00 till 11:00 AM CEST 

📍 Where: Right here on stacker.news!

Why Join the AMA?  
- Behind-the-Scenes: I'll share the inspiration behind PROXNUT and the challenges during its development.
- Direct Answers: Have questions or feedback? I'm here to address them all.
- Peek into the Future: Discover what's next for PROXNUT and how you can be a part of its journey.

How to Participate:  
1. Save the date for our AMA.
2. Think of any questions or feedback about PROXNUT.
3. Join the conversation and let's engage!

For more insights, check out the [PROXNUT website](https://proxnut.com) and our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/gandlafbtc/proxnut).

I genuinely believe PROXNUT can redefine the way we approach web resource monetization. Whether you're a fellow developer, a content creator, or just curious, I'm eager to chat with you!

Spread the word, and let's make this AMA a knowledge-packed session! 🎉

Catch you soon,  
gandlaf

Nutcases, Assemble!!
--------------------

The nutcases from the cashu community have decided to enter the Legends of Lightning Hackathon.

Let's introduce our team:

**Gandlaf, the Wizard**

It is said that gandlaf has mastered that way of the nut. What is the secret to bending a nut? The secret to bending a nut is to realizing the truth. There is no nut...

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/e7274bec-e81d-489d-030f-a3bce3406a00/public)

**Dr. Calle, the Doc**

The Doc discovered the ways of the nut when he wrote his PhD thesis. From this day on he's carrying the message wide and far, and found his first followers not long after. Among them? You guessed it. Gandlaf.

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/9c144706-eaf8-4df0-092f-a61fc20fab00/public)

**Erik, the Architect**

If you're gonna build something, you'll need an Erik. Or whatever you build is gonna look like crap.

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/6d7578bb-9994-4f22-1479-8c42311cca00/public)

**M A R C, the Operator**

You can't have a bunch of nutcases running wild without guidance. M A R C has been there done that before. He'll guide us to victory without casualties.

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/46be4031-c0e9-473c-2f60-ebf87f7d1800/public)

**JK, the Hacker**

Not much is known about this mysterious hacker's background. But give him a keyboard and he will turn bytes into nuts.

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/dced858a-06ec-4729-7628-74faeb8ee300/public)

What are we building?
---------------------

Well, revealing that has to wait a little bit longer. But it will include and make use of PROXNUT extensively.

This week the team assembled to get everyone up to speed...

![](https://imagedelivery.net/wyrwp3c-j0gDDUWgnE7lig/4260ab58-b1aa-4fd6-94fc-121dbee73600/public)

....Explain the setups...

and discuss tasks. We dissected PROXNUT and identified our targets.

Now, we started on prototyping a Proof of Concept.

To find out what exactly that is, stay tuned.

Sincerely,

🥜

Pokemon doughnuts

Now that I have two Pikachu fanatics in my household, guess the first store we patronised during our visit to Japan.

![](https://m.stacker.news/64842)

![](https://m.stacker.news/64843)

It seems that the creators of Pokemon have a special collaboration with Mister Donut. Look at these intriguing offerings.

![](https://m.stacker.news/64844)

My son took this photo. He turned my phone to the landscape mode and said that he wanted to capture a bigger view of the doughnuts. That’s artistic intent in action.

I don’t really need him to score stellar academic results, but I do hope he will turn out to be an extraordinary photographer in the future. I think wicked photography skills are an useful asset even in the age of AI-saturated services.
