Nostr Web Client

Here's as plain and simple as I can make it for you: you're asking me to enter a lottery where I pay with time that's worth more than a lottery ticket and personal info that's also worth more than - guess what - this thing that they have at the store already any time I want one, a lottery ticket

You say someone has to be extremely productive for this to apply - I ask you to do the math on what returns anyone from a welfare recipient to a billionaire will get, spending an amount of time filling out forms for grants, and do the same math for them spending the equivalent amount of money they accrue in the same time, on lottery tickets

If you wouldn't suggest buying a lottery ticket, why would you suggest filling out the form?

You said "no" but that was actually extremely clear.

You feel that spending a few minutes and sharing a bit of personal information is not worth the expected payoff (where you think your odds are as good as the lottery). Okay, that makes sense.

And it's far clearer and to the point than a lot of the other concerns you brought up.

I think the conclusion is the same: If you think a system is an unwinnable lottery, don't play it. Nobody will blame you for that! a fair choice!

Still a bit confused about why you're wasting dozens of minutes preaching to the lottery company about how they should change their model, though... It's sorta like twitter/nostr - would you waste your time telling twitter they should be more like nostr? or would you prefer to just go invest in nostr? just ignore OpenSats and pay attention to other entities that work like you'd prefer.

Yeah I'm not sure about laeserin thinking she can convince opensats to change their model, I just like talking to all you people

I have little confidence that I can change their model or influence them in any manner, at all.

I just wanted to make it clear that there might be a better model, even if mine isn't it, and I wanted the others to know that they are not alone.

You see this? You see this?

I am not getting paid for this.

🙄 the Satan thing again. Almost had a discussion about a normal topic without you veering into the supernatural.

But it's some weird personality flaw of mine that sees you as overly influenced by religion, right? Okay.

You're getting paid in attention.
