Awesome origins story 👏👏

First day on nostr for me. So far enjoying it.

Welcome!

🫂

Grab yourself a lightning address and add it to your profile instead of that invoice you have 😉

- blink.sv , or

- getalby.com , or

- walletofsatoshi.com

Thank you, will try to fix asap. For some reason struggling with this parg a bit.

Can walk you thru it. Can you get the blink.sv app from that website? (it's not available in some countries)

Think its sorted now?

Technically yea lol, but you should have a simpler format that looks like '@walletofsatoshi.com'

Its a work in progress. lol. Thank you for your advice. You seem to know a bit about these things, so I would like to try my luck and ask you another question if I may. I have a small business and would like to turn online payments into #Bitcoin. Do you perhaps know if there is a payment gateway where a customer can pay online with lets say a Visa/Master card in fiat currency, then the payment gets automatically converted into #Bitcoin and delivered to a wallet?

That's a tricky one, I haven't heard of any

I expect it'll be difficult though because visa/mc payments usually settle days/weeks after the actual payment, and in batches. Would be hard for a service to pay out hard money (bitcoin) against soft receipts (chargeback-able credit card payments)

I have my own origin story:

I asked ChatGPT to make word plays with „nostr“. It said „nostrich“. And since I‘m from Switzerland, I wanted to register the domain nostri.ch. That‘s taken sadly.

How do I change my banner photo?

Urban myths can be fun and all that but t's good to know the origins.

And the purple ostrich is brilliant!
