How much did the Lightning Network volume increased due to Nostr?

Good question!

It actually broke the chart so we haven’t been able to track it

You are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Zap alone might have bumped it through the roof

Would love to know this

Definitely seeing lots more micropayments passing though my node last few days. Couple hundred smaller <1000 sats routings that weren’t typical before.

P.S. My data shows 69 sats to be a very popular zap amount 🧐

We did a great job about zapping back and forth today. We should do it often

Next time you send me 20k 🫡

Sure

👀

It’s going to be nuts when it hits the App Store. I’ll just take the day off.

There will so many use cases of lighting to be discovered. It’s just the beginning ⚡️

Yup. Imagine streaming Sats for your energy bill, streaming Sats for watching a video instead of a subscription… so many use cases to be thought of. The whole world will change

Streaming says for using a relay 🤙

steaming sats back and forth between keys to artificially boost nostr posts

Broke: Con men gaming your trust (risky and expensive)

Woke: Scammers on YT buying likes and followers (cheap)

Bespoke: Scammers on Nostr wash-zapping (zero cost)

I’m wondering how would a government collect tax when all the civil transactions are made out of bitcoins

That’s the least of my concerns. They don’t innovate, we do…

If it was up to them we were still on a fiat standard in 5023. Time for a change!

Actually governments need to be drastically changed as well. More efficient, smaller, less influence. It will come. Bitcoin will change everything. They just don’t know it yet

you can’t be more right

Yeah it is crazy to think that we are witnessing the beginning of something so profound it could change everything. Yet most people are completely unaware. It really feels like the early days of the internet when people called it a fad.

It took #Nostr for me to finally realize the potential of #Bitcoin and #lightning in my life. (I always thought they were cool, just never had a use for them.) I wonder what it will take for others to make the same realization?

A zap and a follow for that! ⚡️

Thank you!

💜🙏🧡

Approved. Let’s publish this graph as is xD

Followed! ⚡️🤙

Followed 🤙💜

going parabolic ⚡️

A bunch I bet!

Lightning network capacity had an uptick beginning of January from 5k BTC to 5,3k BTC. I assume that it is mostly Nostr impact.

Also volume or velocity is much higher but these are Sats exchanged within the ecosystem.
