Nostr Web Client

Once I asked on Stacker News what people thought about the concept of making some sort of line of NFT showing that you supported an open source bitcoin/lightning project. And people could show them off in their wallet, a NFT for 'splicing,' one for 'teleports' and one for 'mult-path payments.'

They compared it to selling drugs for charity.

While I think that's a bit of a stretch, I agree, it didn't feel right.

I am watching the Nostrica livestream and Will (Casarin, the Damus dev) suggested selling Nostr badges to support Damus development.

Nostr Badges might be the missing piece. It shows the owner is the one that did the donating, this motivates to give. The badge cannot be resold for profit, unlike NFTs, soiling the honest ideals of the mission.

What do you think about Nostr badges for supporting open source projects?

It seems to work well for GitHub. Makes sense that it would carry over.

Yeah, it's... it might be something the Bitcoin community is okay with. We'll see. I hope so.

BTW, if I were to transfer my nip05 to another set of keys, I lose all my badges, right?

As the badges are tied to your npub, yes. Unless and until key rotation becomes a thing.
