Not seeing this post from @npub1l5p…4q0n showing up on @Damus so attempting to share it here. It's a writeup on Lightning Nodes and BIP110.

Here you go @npub1ymt…pxnz
🌿 What it is
The “floof” is almost certainly Green Trick Dianthus (also sold as Green Trick Carnation or Dianthus barbatus ‘Green Trick’).
Florists love it because it looks like a fuzzy moss pom‑pom but lasts a long time in arrangements.
🌱 Why it looks like moss
It’s actually a type of carnation bred to produce a dense, spherical tuft of fine, threadlike petals.
Not moss, not a fern — just a very dramatic Dianthus.
🛒 Can you get more?
Yes. You can find it in:
• Most florist shops (often used in modern arrangements)
• Wholesale flower markets
• Some garden centers (seasonally)
• As a cut flower, usually sold in bunches
• As a plant, though less common — it’s typically grown commercially for florists
If you want it for arrangements, ask for “Green Trick Dianthus” and they’ll know exactly what you mean.
🌼 If you want to grow it
You can grow it yourself, but it’s a bit finicky:
• Prefers cool weather
• Grows as an annual or short-lived perennial
• Needs full sun and well-drained soil
• Best results come from nursery starts rather than seeds

This is why Bitcoin Wins.....
Congress passed a law (in the *One Big Beautiful Bill Act*) that adds a **1% federal excise tax** on certain **outgoing remittance transfers**—basically, when someone in the U.S. sends money abroad **using cash or similar instruments**. The IRS is now proposing the detailed rules for how that tax will apply.
---
### 💵 When the 1% tax applies
The tax applies **only** when the sender funds the transfer with:
- **Cash**
- **Money orders**
- **Cashier’s checks**
- **Traveler’s checks** (newly added in the proposed regs)
- **A check that the provider cashes** and then uses to fund the transfer (the IRS says this counts as a cash transaction)
It **does NOT apply** when the transfer is funded by:
- A bank account (checking, savings, credit union, etc.)
- A U.S.-issued debit or credit card
---
### 📌 Key points the proposed regulations clarify
- **No small‑provider safe harbor**:
Regulation E normally exempts small remittance providers (under 500 transfers/year).
**The IRS rejected that exemption.**
Even tiny providers must collect the 1% tax.
- **Tax base**:
The 1% is calculated on the **amount sent to the recipient**, including:
- Promotional bonuses or incentives added to the transfer
But **excluding**:
- Service fees
- The excise tax itself
- **Who pays and who files**:
The **sender** owes the tax, but the **remittance transfer provider** must collect it and remit it on **Form 720** quarterly.
If the provider fails to collect it, **they** become liable.
- **Effective date**:
Applies to transfers **after 12/31/2025**.
Taxpayers can rely on these proposed rules until final regulations are issued.
- **Public comments**:
IRS is accepting comments until **June 12, 2026**.
---
### 🧠 What this means in practice
If someone walks into a store or money‑transfer business and pays **cash** to send $500 to another country, the provider must charge an additional **1% excise tax ($5)** and remit it to the IRS.
If the same person pays using a **bank account or debit card**, **no excise tax** applies.
---
If you want, I can break down how this might affect specific businesses (e.g., check cashers, convenience stores, money transmitters) or how compliance works for Form 720.

You’re probably right, 25% is a little aggressive. But I was coming from the angle that there’s not gonna be a big influx of transactions right away so 25% will not be that much for the overall transactions a merchant will have.

It hopefully gets better. But I tried 3 family members a few months back and none could sign up. I contacted support on 2 of them and got it working. Because it worked for me out the gate, I assumed it would for everyone else but that was not the case. I still offer a 5% discount and to help people get setup with Cashapp to pay with bitcoin. I believe in what they are doing and want it to succeed. I want to see all the cc companies burn to the ground. 😂

2026-03-30 00:35:55 UTC

- reply

But the normie nonbitcoin crowd will need to use Cashapp to “pay with bitcoin.” Cashapp has a really cool feature where you send cash, they receive cash or bitcoin via the Bitcoin rails. If your not into bitcoin, your not gonna be able to do it any other way. Don’t get me wrong, I like what their doing and I’ve been selling what their doing since November. But they still have pain points for normies to get setup and if the normie has no reason to do it’s they won’t take the time to get it setup.

The merchants have been incentivized, now they have to incentivize their customers. I’m afraid customers have gotten use to the idea that they have to pay the fee to transact with a credit card, that the merchants don’t care anymore. I hate being told I have to pay 2% more (or whatever they want to charge) for the convenience of not using cash.
I’ve been offering a 5% discount for people to pay in bitcoin and promoted Cashapp as my payment of choice since January but still haven’t gotten a payment in bitcoin. I’ve had inquiries and conversations, but that’s it.

Probably turns out to be a nothingburger….but I’m excited about the idea. For the non-bitcoin crowd, it still falls back to a CashApp to Square transaction. They should also make all CashApp transactions run over Bitcoin rails and auto convert 75% to fiat and make the merchant change other 25% to fiat if they don’t Bitcoin like they are making the merchant turn off Bitcoin acceptance instead of allowing them to turn it on.

GM☕️🫂
IRS Extends Relief for Digital Asset Lot Identification Rules: The IRS has issued new guidance extending temporary relief for taxpayers to identify specific units of a digital asset sold or disposed of while in a broker's custody. The relief, originally provided in Notice 2025-7 , is extended for an additional year through 12/31/26. This extension addresses concerns that some custodial brokers are not yet technologically capable of accepting specific identification instructions from customers for their digital asset transactions under Reg. sec. 1.1012-1(j). During the relief period, taxpayers can make an adequate identification by documenting the specific units on their own books and records by the date and time of the sale, rather than communicating the identification to the broker. If a taxpayer does not make an adequate identification, the default first-in, first-out (FIFO) method must be used to determine the basis of the units sold. This relief is limited to digital assets held by a broker. Notice 2026-20 .

I can confirm that BitLocal, BTCMap, and Square are all syncing with each. If you are using CashApp, I'd recommend adding yourself to BTCMap (btcmap.org) and it will sync with the other two. It make take little while, but I synced really quickly.
Unfortunately, I haven't had anyone use it yet. I'm in a small town with 4 merchants accepting bitcoin and listed on the map. I have a martial arts dojo so my clients don't change much. I use it as an advertising and promotional tool for both myself and when attempting to get other merchants to accept bitcoin.

2026-03-07 21:10:02 UTC

- reply

I haven't seen the Square dashboard so I can't confirm for sure. I'm wondering if maybe you have to default not to be added? I only have a few merchants in my area accepting bitcoin, but would be surprised to learn they took action to be added to the map.

2026-03-07 20:50:10 UTC

- reply

Awesome Diyana, I’ve been doing the same thing. I’m thinking the BTCMap is an automatic add but could be wrong. I added myself to BitLocal
Map and was simultaneously added to the Cash App and BTCMap. I think they all are using the same date to update. I did a manual add because I’m not a Square merchant but use CashApp to accept bitcoin payments.
