I'm convinced you guys left this on https://www.resistance.money/ as a forever tease. Soon isn't happening soon. Although, I'm getting close to capitulating and buying an Amazon gift card or through a local store but I'd really rather send my sats directly to you all.

We’ve been trying! But it doesn’t seem like there’s a good solution coming anytime soon.
Are you trying to swap directly to fiat or keep it all in bitcoin? Not sure what issues you're having, nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9 can likely help solve your problems.

Since our academic press won’t sell copies for bitcoin, we would need someone else to take on the middleman risk of buying, storing, and selling copies for Bitcoin. So it’s more a distribution problem than a Bitcoin problem.
Ah I see...wouldn't the nostr:npub1jawrkh8u6j2705t2nx2auzm2s0hxc4kqekp2fxt9232zs607v4yq46l7ms + nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg combo solve this problem for you? Customers can pay with bitcoin but you (or your academic press) receives USD. The exchange happens automatically on Strike's end. Your seller never sees bitcoin.
It would solve the currency problem but the problem remains one of distribution. We don’t have the time or capital to buy and store copies. And no one else wants to except the traditional venues that sell only for dollars.
We’ve approached three merchants who sell books for bitcoin, but none of them are interested in stocking this volume. We will keep on trying until we find someone who will, though. Unfortunately we can’t take on the merchant role ourselves — we have day jobs and can’t afford the time and expense of stocking and shipping books; that work is best left to experts.
If anyone is reading this and interested in selling our book for bitcoin, drop me a line. We can hook you up with a significant author discount (30% off list price, shipped anywhere in the world — roughly $22 USD/each), and you’d be free to mark it up from there and pocket the difference.
