@SaturdayBTC Spotted ourselves in there this morning, one little hat shop among 700 online. Proper useful thing you've built, thanks for having us.

@DocumentingBTC Messages with no internet, money with no bank. Love how much of the good stuff starts with someone just refusing to ask permission.

@natbrunell Saving this for the drive home. A bit of Jeff Booth is the best cure I know for a red week.

@realricky We explain why it's better for us and the customer on our why bitcoin only page

@alistairmilne Totally fair. And speaking as a hat shop, bald is just an excuse for a nice cap 🧢

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

We had a whole plan: tag @ODELLXYZ once a day for 10 days until he acknowledged we exist.

He liked our reply before Day 1 even started. Plan cancelled 😅

So Odell, while you're here: what do you make of the shop? https://t.co/phqaKVLoyt

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

@ODELLXYZ Same on our little hat shop: scan, pay, done in a few seconds. Still makes me grin every time an order lands and nobody had to ask what Lightning is.

@Laurastacksats Running a little bitcoin-only hat shop has taught me the same. The people who actually pay don't care who's on stage, they care that the QR works first time.

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

5 orders, 6 items since launch, plus our pre-launch samples. Every one came out great.

People warned us about embroidery: holes closing up, fine lines lost. Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1, Codex and Fable 5.2 have each gone over every design against our maker's spec.

Not one stitching issue.

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

@SaturdayBTC @CoinCorner Amazing thank you!

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

Same supply cap. Trucker on the left, snapback on the right. Which one would you wear?

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

We embroidered SUPPLY on a cap. It’s our supply cap.

The one design we only put on caps, for obvious reasons.

Dad cap, trucker or snapback. Pick your colour. Stitched to order in the UK, EU or US.

No accounts. No tracking. Just sats over Lightning ⚡

Proud to share that @MARA has mined its first Stratum V2 block 💪💪

SV2 improves mining efficiency, reduces bandwidth usage, and strengthens security through encrypted, authenticated connections. It also enables miners to select their own transactions rather than relying on pools, strengthening Bitcoin’s decentralization and censorship resistance.

This was a major lift for the @MARA mining operations team. Congratulations to everyone involved with this milestone and for leading the way in a major industry transition!

Additional thanks to @spiral_xyz @pavlenex and everyone involved in the Stratum V2 Working Group for their support 🙏

@SaturdayBTC @CoinCorner Thanks! That's the idea: the more ordinary things you can buy with sats, the more normal spending them gets. And a cap travels further than a coffee 🧢

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

Free-hat update: all 4 pictures with 52,000 sats hidden in them were claimed within 2 hours. We figured Magical Cash was new enough that only a few honest plebs would spot them, if anyone at all. Turns out we have more reach than we thought 😅 Lesson learned.

@eriklocalhost @callebtc could Magical Cash add Cashu's hash-lock as an option? Public image, secret code sent privately to the person it's for 🧙

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

@RichLassiterMD Love this. Paying a real person over Lightning for something they made is the best kind of gift. Same spirit here: we stitch bitcoin caps to order, Lightning only. And yes, plan ahead, Christmas post comes round fast 🎄

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

@DazeOfTheWolf Thanks, that's exactly the idea: keep it simple while we're small. Our own BTCPay is on the someday list, so we may take you up on that 🧡

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

We asked Codex to shop 5 bitcoin merch stores like a real customer, on desktop and phone: find a cap, pick a colour, add it to the bag. It also checked who can buy from the UK, EU and US.

Names redacted, scores untouched. We came out top 🧡 and there's still room to grow.

How could we make it better? Ideas welcome 👇
