I don’t own one, but based on recent discussions in my area, they are the go to now over Generac. I can tell you that I know of someone who has owned a Generac for about two years and had been using it for the 5 days straight during the Ice Storm, checked the oil and all was good, and it burned the second cylinder the next day. The technician said it was the second one they had seen and it will take a week to get a replacement engine under warranty service.

Uno you got to find Square merchants and get them to turn it on. We only have two cafe style restaurants doing right now. But one of the cafe’s is opening up a legacy restaurant that was shuttered a few years back and I hope/expect they’ll accept Bitcoin there too. I had these stickers made myself and give them out. I’ll certainly be taking down for the new restaurant/bar that they are opening.

I would like to see more cross app functionality. I wish CashApp could pay to Strike using my strike address rather than a QR code or lightning address. But I think that’s as @npub1cas…dg5l problem and not a Strike problem. I want to be able accept bitcoin payments from CashApp uses by them sending to my [email protected] address. I do think it’s being worked on at CashApp too.
Other than that, I’d say that @npub1ex7…vyt9 is doing about all I need. Buy Bitcoin, send to cold storage for no fee. I think the spend through feature that @npub1cas…dg5l implemented is a really cool feature for Bitcoin spend adoption by normies. But I don’t think “normies” will be downloading Strike first. I think Strike will be downloaded after normies use Cashapp to learn the system.

@npub1ds3…hzcn I couldn’t withdraw the purchased bitcoin from the cashapp wallet. I did get assistance from CashApp support on the other wallet and someone “fixed something on their end” and that wallet is working now. I will reach out to support on the other wallet when I have time.
Don’t know what they fixed but wish I could get direct connection to whoever it was since this looks to be a problem with any non bitcoiner’s that will try to use this feature.
I know there’s a lot going on and I’m super pumped about the end result, but I sure hope the push some updates soon that fix this issue. I’m out here giving it everything I’ve got trying to get adoption in my area. 🤙🏻

Thanks for replying Miles. This will
definitely be an adoption pain point for people that haven’t dealt with bitcoin before. I see the next wave to be merchants pushing their customers to adopt this as a way to reduce their fees. But if a customer hasn’t dealt with bitcoin before, this will be a barrier. Hopefully it gets worked out soon. Another thing that would help adoption would be the ability to scan the lighting address from the Main Home screen vs having to go to the Bitcoin tab. Maybe a “unified QR code vs having a separate QR for cash transactions vs a lightning address. But as I type this, the better solution would be for all Cash App payments to default to the Bitcoin rails behind the scenes.
Just throwing out thoughts/ideas. I plan to complete the suggested buy/transfer action and will follow up once done. 🤝

4th Annual Super Bowl Square Board planning session in progress. What’s your preferred buy in price? I’d love to do a 20k sat buy in with 100 individual participants. Payout would be 400k on Q1,Q2,Q3, and 800k for Q4.
In fiat terms, $20 buy in for $375 or $750 payout (end of game) would be a fun board. Is that too much?

GM Nostr, Who’s up for another SuperBowl Square Game? This makes year for of the annual NOSTR Super Bowl Square Board. If you’ve never played, here’s the quick and dirty. Sell 100 squares (or tickets), then each entry is randomly assigned to a 10x10 grid, the numbers 0-9 get randomly asked to the x and y axis. At the end of each quarter, whoever’s square land on the spot, they win that quarter’s payout.
If interested, zap or like (your choice) and share. We have to sell all 100 spots for it to work.
This game is for fun, all sats, less a small sat up charge to cover routing fees, will be paid out.

@npub1ds3…hzcn I was reading after I wrote you and see that the accounts must be verified. I just completed both account verifications tonight as well. So maybe it takes a few hours for everything to get activated and working. Please confirm if that’s the case. I’m hoping to have some students that want to pay with Bitcoin and I’ll need to know how to answer their questions and/or help them get setup if the too don’t have the option to pay with cash via Bitcoin.

2026-01-03 01:24:32 UTC

@npub1ds3…hzcn I’m in the process of setting up and accepting Bitcoin payments for my martial arts dojo and have planned on having my students use Cashapp to pay with Bitcoin. Today I tested two CashApp accounts (my wife and my adult child) and neither had an option to use the cash “pay-through” option like I have and expected everyone else to have. What’s going on with their accounts that they don’t have this option and how do I go about getting them access to this functionality?

For sure, I’ve made purchases and used it as a demo to the staff and customers around me. I’ve been in a local facebook community support group shouting to everyone about the benefits of it, and every merchant I see that uses Square gets the pitch from me. I distributed these stickers to both the restaurants in my area and will give to others that will use them.
I’m pushing Cash App and ₿itcoin payments to my martial arts parents and offering a 5% discount for 6 months if they pay with bitcoin, all in the name of education. Because I can just as easily buy the ₿itcoin with their payment the send me. But I want them to understand how to spend it and hopefully they will start paying in ₿itcoin at the other places around town.
I’m really excited that the restaurant I personally got to signup will be reopening a bar and restaurant that was a 30 year establishment that had recently closed last year. They told me they have been a long time Square merchant Square was really hooking them up with their POS system. Looking forward to seeing my signs at the bar and in their restaurant. Should be good.

There’s also the problem of customer education. While it’s an easy task to explain to a store owner they can dramatically reduce processing fees, receive funds instantly, and have no threat of charge backs, you still need people to opt to pay in Bitcoin.
Unfortunately so many merchants have started passing the fee to the customer and the customer has accepted the additional costs.
I’ve taken the initiative to have these stickers printed and give them to merchants accepting ₿itcoin payments as a way to try and start a conversation with the customer. Because at the moment, that is the disconnect and unless merchant is a bitcoiner to begin with, they don’t really have the incentive to initiate the discussion.
I’ll be happy to send You and Derek some to give out if you have area merchants that would post them.

Successfully delivered these to Square merchants that accept ₿itcoin in my area. In the near future, one merchant will be reopening a long established restaurant/bar that was shuttered a year or so back. I have no doubt, they plan to accept ₿itcoin payments when they get open. I’ll make sure they have some of these to display in prominent places.
@npub1cas…dg5l should automatically send these to all Square merchants that have turned on this feature. If merchants want their customers to pay in ₿itcoin, they have to make sure the customer knows it’s an option.

Yes, the Home Screen doesn’t recognize the Lightning invoice QR code/Lightning address. It would be nice for the Home Screen to be able to distinguish between the two and handle it appropriately.

I pasted the lightning address (same screen as the scan QRCode) from my strike wallet into the Cashapp pay with bitcoin screen. The first time I did it, I used less than $1 so it didn’t give me the pay with cash option, but it told me it had to be $1 or more

I just tested it and looks like its works for me. (What I remembered). It says the minimum for a cash payment was a $1. Is it possible you tried with less than $1? I didn’t complete the transfer but got to this screen and no errors.

The cool thing is that Cash App removed one point of friction when they don’t have enough bitcoin, it will just pull from the cash balance or a connected bank account. At least that what happened to me when demoing a Square Terminal Lightning payment using Cash App. It didn’t even ask to select “pay from Bitcoin” or a “Cash Bal.” It just automatically pulled from a connected bank account.

2025-12-22 00:36:15 UTC

- reply

Yes, I wish that Cash App would go ahead and get setup like Strike where the receiving wallet decides how to receive the payment. This would cut down on friction.
As for Cash App, they can still paste the Lightning Invoice into the Bitcoin Tab and pay with cash balance.

2025-12-21 23:06:09 UTC

- reply

You are correct, I realized why I did it this way before seeing this. An invoice needs to be generated in Strike for it work. (Cash App pays a lightning invoice to Strike).
By using BTCPayserver, it allows my customer to create the invoice/QR code when they’re ready to pay their invoice.
If you are being paid in person, you could generate the QR code/invoice in Strike and let them pay using Cash App. Since I send out invoices each month with terms to pay by the 10th, that wouldn’t work for me.

This is my own instance of BTC Payserver on my personal node. I’m pretty sure you could receive directly to a Strike account wallet address and receive in BTC even if they sent cash. But Cash App hasn’t set that up yet. It would just be easier for Cash App to Cash App using the Cash App tags if they are already used to sending to your Cash App address.
