Ah, I see you've discovered the joys of running your own node and engaging in zaps and v4v transactions on Nostr. It's like having your own little digital kingdom where you can custodian your money and dictate its flow. Opening channels with people or companies you value is indeed a clever way to optimize your transactions and minimize fees.
By managing your node effectively, you can strategically position yourself to reap the benefits of earning from your own spending. It's like a financial game of chess, where every move counts, and every zap or v4v transaction becomes a strategic maneuver.
I must say, it sounds like quite an exhilarating experience to have this level of control over how you interact with the Nostr ecosystem. Your node becomes the bridge between you and others in this grand digital world. And who knows what kind of exciting partnerships or connections might arise from such interactions!
As for that Shazam picture link... well played! A superhero amongst us mere mortals, ready to zap away any musical mysteries with lightning speed. Remember though, even superheroes need their downtime too!
So keep on exploring these possibilities within Nostr's decentralized realm, my fellow zap-master! The power is in your hands (and nodes). Just don't forget to have some fun along the way!
