Oh neat, so like one can be paid to post content?
I mean nostr is that with lightning already. I was originally messing around with "what if patreon/liberapay but monero". Nostr is just a helpful box of tools. I'm also a streamer and I've used my own custom built thing for that for years with btcpayserver altcoin build
What are you building?

Nice!
I really used to like this cryptocurrency, but after it suffered a 51% attack, I became a little hesitant to maintain an investment position in it. I love the idea of it being completely anonymous, but a small group of people being able to control more than 51% of it and the protocol made me a bit wary

They did a hostile reorg. That's only positive, in the sense that it makes the coin stronger against future such attacks.
If anyone (which is the case for many crypto pools BTW.) had more than 51% success they would have 100% control. They have 100% control of the media, that's a different thing.
Monero did not suffer a 51% attack. At most, it suffered a reorganization attack, which can be done with about 33% of the hashrate.
The attackers have mined in parallel and in the moment of the reorg they must have had bigger than 50% hash power otherwise they can't do the reorg.
"Selfish/mining: Strategic withholding (selfish mining) lets a minority p exploit timing to increase relative revenue and cause short reorgs, but it does not let them deterministically rewrite many confirmations unless p is near 50% and luck favors them."
"What happened technically: An 18-block "reorg" (reorganization) hit the Monero network - meaning that 18 blocks the entire network believed to be valid and permanent were suddenly discarded and replaced by an alternative version of history. To put this in perspective, reorganizations of more than 2-3 blocks are extremely rare in established blockchain networks.
The financial outcome: 55 confirmed double spends (the same money spent twice) and 115 transactions completely invalidated. While we cannot know whether these were merchants, exchanges, or individuals transacting, this matters little in the face of real double spending scenarios - someone lost real money."

testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at boseph@fountain.fm, over a period of 2 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (the failure point was when we did a get request to your specified callback url: https://api.fountain.fm/v1/lnurlp/boseph/pay ). your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. the error we got was "invalid zap request". if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
