I still think it's cool that nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6f0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7snuh0e keeps an eye on what people are saying about his company. He doesn't need to literally respond to every @ for that to be cool. That isn't the point. The point is that he cares enough to actually walk around where his customers hang out. Frankly, I haven't had a good customer service experience in years. So just doing things the same way as all the other big boys may not be the best approach either.

Of course he should have a great support team, and I think he does. He probably shouldn't spend the bulk of his time responding to support complaints on social (maybe pay someone else to - still cool). But if he's already trolling around and sees someone talking about his company failing to grow, I dig it. I appreciate that he pays attention to those who fall through the gaps and works to make it even better to prevent future gaps.

That's what I find cool and it's why I use Strike. I have tried using several of his competitors and landed on Strike because he was actually willing to listen and give me what I asked for. He's obviously doing something right if I stopped looking for a solution in a sea of poor ones.

Just my anecdote.

Very well said

Pretty dope

Someday his empty closest will be a museum. Iconic.

Mans an absolute beast! Really leading the way in the how to do good business! Strikes customer service is the best I’ve experienced, a breath of fresh air.

I really appreciate the content he puts out every week. He’s the right type of crazy and I haven’t missed an episode for a few years now.

My anecdote, and many others, is arbitrary KYC fails with no recourse even when using data that passed KYC at other places.

This seems to be an issue for the industry. Sounds legal?

Either way, it's ridiculous. If they can fix it, they should. But I've worked in industries where there are similar policies against approaching the line of coaching people around compliance. Dumb, but it wasn't our choice. Maybe it's a similar issue?

Maybe. They also said they "cannot reverse it", which strikes me as a little serious.

Does that mean that even if I were to adjust my application they can just never accept it in perpetuity?

I wonder if it's automated? They should definitely address that problem area. That's really why I tagged him because I suspected this is a broad issue. I've experienced it with other services and it sucks ass. Definitely something that can be improved.

They don't want to tell us the rules because if we are identity thieves it makes our job easier. That is why if you get blocked it is a brick wall of "it will not be possible to create an account at this time."

From what little I can gather I think if you use an email alias or protonmail you get blocked. They flag your entire identity when you fail so you cannot go back and try again with an OG gmail or some other standard email and get approved.

I do not know if there is a timeout where you can get an account later or how long that timeout would be.

I do know that even if jack showed up in the thread guaranteeing me an account, I care more about not doxxing this nym than getting a strike account.

I love nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5tm8sjr and have a TON of respect for what he does and what's he's built. But ive had a much different experience.

I've been trying to get ahold of him or someone at Strike for months now - it's impossible.

I ordered a Ross hoodie (I think it was like 150k sats) when he was released from prison and it never showed up.

I'd just like to know what the hell happened to it and what went wrong.

what was the order number or another way I can track it?

we had some shipping issues because that was right when tariffs started.

happy to look into it or just refund you on here with a zap

GM Jack! Reading whole posts on a Sunday on Nostr and offering to help personally 💪🏻

This is why I choose to give you all the fiat I can 😅

No doubt.

Appreciate the response Jack thank you brother.

I have an email here with tracking #.

What would be the best way to forward it to you?

My signal is jor.88 if that helps. Or email 88sats@proton.me

forward it to jack@strike.me

just sent you 150k sats to your lightning address. sorry for the experience man

Received. Thanks Jack 🫡

Just forwarded you the order info.

I have had good responses from the Strike team via the app if that helps.

That's the only way I've ever thought to use their support, so that could be the case. I have no idea for any of the other methods.

appreciate it man.

i started Strike for us. for Bitcoiners. for 13 years now i have been one of a growing group of people trying to will this gift to changing the world. that hasn’t changed and never will change. we all have a role, i try and do the best i can at mine and not let you guys down

Positive experience: I lost access to my strike account a couple years ago. A real human walked me through getting back in and she recognized me by the email address I used because she attended the University where I teach. She was friendly and familiar enough to mention it.

App is user friendly and makes using bitcoin feel like an everyday thing to do. Opposite of intimidating. Thank you!

❤️

I appreciate it

Thank you

You are a great man Jack. My family uses Strike. Great service.

I am grateful for your Strike

nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 hasn’t posted on Nostr in almost a year.

I didn't even know they had an npub. They should for these sorts of things.

They post on Xitter daily. Nostr is not considered an important enough audience to engage with.

That clearly isnt entirely true but I agree at least a cross post for the company account would be cool. To be fair it isnt a Nostr company. Unfortunately, a ton of Bitcoiners sleep on this thing for some reason. Nothing you don't know.

I don’t know what else to think. A company creates an npub. They hire a social media manger. That person is in charge of deciding what to post and where to post it. If they decide to ghost part of their audience, that’s a conscious choice.

Jacks target audience in 2025… don’t strike me as hardcore nostriches anyways🤙🏽

I miss the Hoodie Mallers™️😆

“we do it on an open network and with the community”

Sure, bud.

nostr:note19kuh98uuftud7nn5de3mqzk9ck5adawpryfmjuhju9vvk5ju9mkq3y78ch

I’m also happy for jacks success 💐😊

No issues there, hoping the product makes it to New York soon.

But they should come back to Nostr, too.
