Interesting data from Matt Ahlborg (h/t to nostr:npub1pu5pjm8dzqjtul8t84a3jsehh78jreadp297sqa3as98c5hfym0qu6pn0a for pointing it out) on twitter re: payment type usage stats *in El Salvador* via bitrefill:

Over 70% LN is pretty remarkable!

Also notable (even if, not very surprising) is how different these stats are from the global stats - see upthread for those.

Awesome thread! Thanks for sharing!

Oh i did not knew that tweet embeds are supported.

(using iris fwiw)

Tweets are supported but not sure they are encouraged on nostr 😁

We dropped SoundCloud and Apple Podcast embed support today and some other ones a few days ago.

You can enable/disable embeds on the Settings / Content menu.

encourage tweets!

this can be the place to discuss everything

Absolutely. It's just that embeds are not too native and not visible to all users. RSS-bridge solutions bring the tweets to notes. It's not ideal either.

But as long as things are discussed 💫

Maybe #nostr clients can capture a thumbnail when the tweet is linked, then it's fully native? Dynamic embeds are not needed for this to work. As it is now, it's super frustrating to have to click through to Twitter's webpage to see what #[6] is sharing.

That's such a massive difference to the global statistics. Wow.

I wonder how much of that 70% over LN is from Custodial wallets like Chivo and bitcoin beach wallet? I'd reckon the vast majority.

Yes, i would guess you're right. However interesting tidbit: I noticed this week a warning on the bitrefill payment page that chivo was not compatible, although vague on details (now i can't find it).

It’s worse than I thought:
