What makes this guy a die hard? He's milking the scene & Nostr is not going to aid in this greedy journey.

He wrote a bitcoin book and runs a bitcoin company. I think that qualifies. Iโ€™ve met him and have a lot of respect for the guy, we just have a difference of opinion, and I personally think heโ€™s missing something incredibly important for bitcoinโ€™s adoption.

He's dedicated his life to grifting and only in the last few years has changed his dynamic due to Bitcoin.

He's a rent seeker who's working his shit out maybe but don't let the book change your perception of who someone really is.

Pow = pow.

How is graduating from a top school and then working your way up to a leadership position at a respected bitcoin company and then becoming an entrepreneur considered โ€œgriftingโ€? Come on, dude.

Those jobs in finance are grifting, they provide no value to society & are the opposite of PoW.

You don't have to believe me though.

If you reread what I wrote I said nothing bad about unchained but they are targeting the opposite of Nostr users.

Parker lewis is definitely not promoting radical self custody with his product.

They have zero privacy guarantee or ZK proof system to shield user funds' privacy from their eyes last time I checked.

These are implementable things that would make his service awesome vs a KYC honeypot.

Hating on Nostr is wasting valuable time he claims is already being wasted.

Go work on preserving user privacy at unchained instead of counter marketing freedom Tech and radical self custody/responsibility.

That resume is outdated anyway. Heโ€™s at nostr:npub1cwneqlnjgs3rdtk97c2ffy2df9dm5zycgj3dsg8c3z00hchxjmfqtvraju now. Agreed on the wasting valuable time argument. He should be here.

Have you used this service?

Yes. Itโ€™s fantastic. I use it all the time.

What does it help you accomplish vs just providing a BTC address?

Lots. You can even check out their website instead of asking me!

You shilled the product, I was just asking for a real life use case that helps you...

I did check out their website and it's just vague with no videos - so I asked.

You are not very genuine it seems.

No, I just donโ€™t have the patience to deal with your shitty attitude.

Lol what ๐Ÿคฃ

Iโ€™m not shilling a product. I donโ€™t care if you ever use it or not. It doesnโ€™t make a difference to me. You asked me if I used it and I answered, and then you folllwed up with a question you could easily find the answer to on your own and then called me โ€œnot genuine.โ€

We use it at our business every day. Itโ€™s a point of sale system. It does invoicing. It has itemized receipts. It integrates with dozens of platforms. It does non-custodial on-chain and Lightning payments, and you donโ€™t have to install anything to use it. In short, itโ€™s brilliant.

I hope I have answered your questions to your satisfaction. Please be sure to rate my service.

I give that a

You seem to have a lot of built up angst, thanks for answering my question.

Touch more grass fren, you need it.

I was just wondering what problem the product solved for YOU.

It's okay if you don't want to answer, but you're having a meltdown over absolutely nothing.

You did not need to resort to a character attack. I use it to invoice clients, and take payments from customers. It makes the whole process easier, and the team is very responsive to feedback. Did I answer your questions?

Bruh c'mon now you're shitting on me, no one attacked you.

Thanks ๐Ÿ‘

Letโ€™s just call it a misunderstanding and ๐Ÿซ‚โšก๏ธ๐Ÿค™ it out.

isn't Zaprite closed source?

run LNBITS. its open source and does basically the same.

LNBits is great but it serves a different purpose.

i think he just doesnt see how he can make money on it or use his existing businesses tp make money with it. i dont see a reason to look into it further ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If you want to character assassinate someone, there are much better candidates, I assure you.

i just dont buy that hes 'missing it', it feels like he's lying, to me personally, when he talks about nostr. feels inauthentic ( which is in contrast to when i have heard and read his takes on other topics) and since i cant read his mind, all i can do is not trust his sincerity ( which unfortunately makes me question his sincerity in general ).

A bit offtopic here with your ZKproof not being on Zaprite or Unchained. Where *else* is it?

๐Ÿ’ฏ.
