I earn more bitcoin via Zaps on Nostr than I do mining with my 3 Antminer S9s. Those S9s do heat my house though.

I’m doing shit wrong.

Have you tried doing shit right?

Like sitting down?

😂

Zaps still work?

Value for value. 🤙

🍀

nostrはあなたの心を暖めます💜🔥

Gotta stay toasty somehow 😊

It works quite well.

But zaps warm the heart! 💜

They absolutely do. Warm the heart and bring a smile to my face. Value for value is the way.

What are zaps? been here an hour?

Fresh meat yall!

ZAP themmmmm!

Lightning will strike you early and often.

Oof,

I will zap u bro

Zaps are Nostr aware Lightning tips.

ah ha! Ok I get it.

If you’re new to Nostr and you haven’t added a LNURL to your profile (so that the ⚡️ appears), just download Wallet of Satoshi, hit “receive” and then select “Lightning Address” and copy it — then paste to the appropriate field in “edit profile” in your Nostr client (Damus, etc). Then everyone can send you sats ⚡️

Make sure to grab the static address (LNURL) rather than the invoice (lnbc…) like this:

Welcome #plebchain

An excellent educational tip for the plebs of #plebchain. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully Wallet of Satoshi adds the full functionality of NIP-57 Zaps soon.

Thanks man 🥂

I know they’re working on it 🤙🤙

Zapped⚡️

Enough zaps and buy another S9…rinse, repeat 🤙

They aren't economical unless you can repurpose the heat. I don't need another one.

Agreed. I have mine mining solo but heating my office. Used to have it on braiinspool but recently took it off…

I use Braiins 🧡

What’s a Zap? How can I earn them?

Create valuable content.

This 🟠🟣 shifts the incentives.

It’s now a race to the top of the mountain 🏔️.

Before it was a race to the bottom of society ☠️.

Following yours and others lead 🫡 as we blaze this 🟠🟣 protocol’s path.

Bam⚡

Yesss sirrrr! ⚡️

⚡️🔥

Pura vida.

What?? How?

Value for value.

Also it's not like S9s generate that much bitcoin per day. My rewards for yesterday were 10K sats.

Wow!!

Both warm the cockles of the heart tho!! That's the important part.

What pool do you use?

Slush and Eligius are two that I remember of the top of my head.

I use Slush Pool which is now rebranded to Braiins Pool.

Is Patoshi Pool still available?

Remember in late 2013 I turned off two Butterfly Labs ASICs since since they weren't making 10BTC Bitcoin a month... each 😂 My parents complained about the electrical costs. Probably less than $15?

Dang….

It was magic internet money. My parents didn't get it and besides 'normal' girls were interested in horses and other dumb shit.

You’re wasting your time with those computers and bitcoin. Go play with your dolls

Yeah pretty much. I gave my parents 5 BTC once. Was in a paper wallet. Of course it was instantly lost. My dad is still looking for it I hear 😂

Hahaha I remember looking into bitcoin back in the day and it was mine it or get it from someone who has some. I was like nah, not meeting a rando off the internet

There was a great place on freenode IRC #bitcoin-otc. Had a decent WoT etc.

If they only knew

One day giving signal to the world on nostr will provide the equivalent to 7 figure incomes today

How’s reliability been on your S9s? Mine’s been giving me all kinds of trouble.

they are old work horses. they've been running great for two+ years.

Awesome. I am in the market for a control board - perusing eBay this week. Mine’s been great as well, but I’ve had to run it on two hashboards since I started with it a month ago. It’s enough for what I need it for, but frustrating to troubleshoot.

I have one. What's the going rate?

I’m seeing sold items @ $15-$25 on eBay right now.

I’m not seeing live listings for that price though - just sold items. Lemme try to get an offer in.

that's fine. $20 sounds good to me. it's been sitting in my garage for 6+ months when the last hash board from that unit died. i assume the board is still fully functioning. i can hook it up to a power supply and see if i can login to it. i can do that tomorrow. if it works, it's yours.

we'll crank this up a notch too. pay me in sats, via nostr. 🤙

Sounds good to me. I might need a little time - I’m still trying to figure lightning out in general.

Your post is being well-received.

Added to the https://member.cash/hot feed

No way. That’s amazing. Damus doesn’t not have the zap count per post yet I believe.

The TestFlight version of Damus shows Zap counts on posts.

I don’t think I’m using the right wallet for this

Why are people sending zaps?

Because we're building a value for value circular economy here on Nostr.

Broo. How dope would it be if we perfected the economy?!

Bitcoin and Nostr fixes this? 😆

Yes, I get that part. This is all voluntary?

Yes.
