Nostr Web Client

Huge congrats to nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg on their App Store release. The integrated Lightning wallet with the ability to acquire sats through Apple Pay is 😍. It’s a huge step forward in bringing nostr and bitcoin into a more mainstream audience and I’m totally here for it. Very, very well done.

They need a money transmitter license especially in commie states or they will be shut down in 1 minute flat

Maybe they are giving Apple their 30% and that’s worth the same as a license 💀

Probably cuz it involves giving Apple their 30% cut

$5 ≈ 12,953 sats

lol what a scam.

This is akin to a utility price gouging for electricity. Google and Apple have to buy the government because they know the reality is that at some point in the future, they will be regulated as public utilities

To be fair, all exchanges take a cut. Apple just takes more than normal.

The exchanges are selling the bitcoin. Apple is just using their hardware to gatekeep software.

It’s not the same. It’s a monopoly.
