Happy to share a little pet project I've been working on. An archive of all the @FlexaHQ spending videos on X, for the Amp and Flexa community. The spenders. https://t.co/ylHYPNa2CR

There’s no stupid questions.

@ConejoCapital congrats

@leonabboud this ain’t it chief

@corneliusmark @CashApp I’m sure they thought of that. It’s a pretty hard edge case to solve for.

[bubby @bubby_io]

I just tried sending USDC back and forth from a crypto wallet to @CashApp. It works and it works well. It feels like you’re just sending money, not crypto. You can send USDC to a friend on Cash App and it converts to their USD balance automatically. The UX is still a little rough. I can see people getting confused trying to find their receiving crypto address for a given chain in Cash App. Does this mean adoption? I don’t think so. Cash App users can already send regular dollars to each other, so there’s no real reason to add the friction. What it does mean is this is an easy new offramp for my magic internet dollars that can reach non crypto people.

@blackbear1936 @CashApp You could load up your own Cashapp account with USDC, and spend it with the CashApp card

[bubby @bubby_io]

@chartyhustle @CashApp It works well for what it is, sending crypto from a non custodial wallet to a mainstream money app.

Toughest truth I've had to learn: growth is directly correlated to the amount of pain you can take.

@Jehoseph @jswihart Literal cashier reaction to paying with ZEC via Flexa: https://t.co/a7EtgdDxdZ

[Wazowski @wazweb3]

Why’d @Kiehls have to do me like that 🫩
At least payment was EASY thanks to @FlexaHQ on Base powered by @ampdotxyz 😌

[bubby @bubby_io]

Respectfully, the framing on Flexa isn’t quite right. Flexa has been supporting ZEC at major retailers since before 2020 and has been a huge supporter of the Zcash community throughout. The merchant not knowing which asset the customer spent is a feature, not a gap. Flexa is a direct payments processor: wallet to POS, collateralized, final at authorization. The customer spends shielded ZEC, Flexa handles the rest, and the merchant settles in fiat or any supported digital asset. ZODL ships Flexa Components natively, so Zcash holders can already spend shielded ZEC at Chipotle, Sheetz, GameStop, Regal, Bealls, and more, today, no merchant permission required. If you’re curious what spending ZEC looks like in the wild, we’ve had a passionate community of spenders showcasing it with videos over the years: https://t.co/yqmkkmuUcP. Happy to chat if you have any questions.
