Tried nostr market from LNbits for the first time.
It’s mind-blowing how easy it is to setup and sell goods. 🤯 And you don’t even need to setup BTC pay server to get it started.
The best part:
It’s decentralized and censorship-resistant. Your goods will be published to any nostr relays you prefer simultaneously.
Everything is based on nostr protocol.
There are two different standards for marketplace right now, each one has its own unique feature:
nip15 based shops and nip-99 based items.
nip15 is merchant-specific shops that lnbits currently integrates with.
nip-99 is for classified items similar to Craigslist
Examples for nip-99:
Amethyst app’s marketplace feature.
For nip15 type of shops, you can get a list of all published merchant here:
https://nostr-markets.pages.dev
Click each merchant will bring you to the list of goods that specific to that merchant.
TLDR:
For shop owners or hobbyist that casually sells goods, you probably want to use nip-15.
For people don’t need a dedicated shop for accounting purposes etc you may just use nip-99 for easy of usage.
