I have created a merch store on [Shopstr.store](https://shopstr.store/marketplace). It's like a Facebook marketplace or Etsy on the [nostr protocol](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr). It is free and open source software, not a corporation. Sellers can sell goods and services for bitcoin using the privacy preserving [cashu protocol]( https://cashu.space/).

I set my store up a few weeks ago, but didn't have any idea as to WTF I could sell. I shoved it further and further down my ToDo list until I was inspired by [Cyan Banister](https://fountain.fm/episode/UOpZ1IfUl98Qz4jDORi2). She went from a homeless teenager/high school dropout to a VC who made a bunch of money as an early investor in SpaceX. I highly recommend listening to as many of her guest appearances on podcasts as you can.

She said she learned about capatalism by selling suplus pecans her grandparents sent her. She tried selling pecans for $7.00. If nobody bought them, she would lower the price to $6.00. That sparked an idea in my brain like a firecracker on the 4th of July. What if I sold cashews for cashu?

I bought some organic, whole cashews and roasted them with 3 ingredients:
|
|
|
|
Beef Tallow(bitcoin nerds don't like seed oils)
|
|
Salt
|
|
Garlic powder.
|
|

I packaged them in one ounce servings using a food saver vaccum sealer. Then I wrote the block height from when I took them out of the oven and put them on shopstr for $7.00.

I also know bitcoiners love "sats back." I know a lot of dudes who use the Fold card to earn as many sats back as they can. I decided to do the same thing by offering 10% cashu back. I will take 10% of the total and create an ecash voucher. For example, of someone buys my nuts for 7,000 sats, I will send the nuts with a QR code they can scan with an ecash wallet like minibits for 700 sats back. **It's literally paper money that is backed by bitcoin.**

Since this is very new, I figure some folks might need help so I added a link to my zendesk like ticketing system. It's really just Peppermint I run on a Docker container on my PopOS! desktop.

I don't think I can disrupt the online cashew market. My goal is to gain help desk experience to get a better job. If I can make some extra sats on the side, that would be awesome!
