Finally added zap invoice parsing and total zap amounts 😅
Discussion
Should be probably converted to $ by default. Even bitcoiners understand $ prices better than sats.
100 sats sounds more fun than $0.03 though
Now with USD amounts 👀 currency selector in settings and default selection by browser locale would be nice to have.
Can says be default and option to change USD instead ? Where are the selectors located ?
*Sats
Added "payments" tab and currency selector (USD / EUR / JPY / SATS). It tries to guess the default fiat currency by browser locale and defaults to USD. I think USD prices are still the easiest to understand for most people.
Zaps are a way to get Fiat out of people’s head. Worst feature idea ever. Sorry to say.
Changed it back to sats and I’m happy again. Just like how the day Iris had light screen :)
There are perks with USD. Non bitcoiners will be able to put a value to a note. Easier for you to charge subscription.
But
ultimately need seemless way to install Wallet & need country guides on buying Bitcoin / P2P (this can be crowd source). So as long as they don’t convince you to go Fiat instead :)
I’m gunning for global trade and I think pairing USD / Bitcoin is going to ease up how people perceive Bitcoin. 80% of $30T global trade is in USD. On ramp and off ramp is needed. Bitcoin as global currency has a long way to go.
But / Rule of thumb from ad to sales conversion,
- 5 views before someone reads,
- 10 views before they remember and
- 20 views before they buy
So people have to see Sats being used as money for 20 times before we can convince them to use it as money. And see Bitcoin/USD pairing 10 times before they remember the conversion.
I think visuals are highly critical as it build perception. But thank you for the options, I appreciate it !
Earlier conversation with Michael on Fiat - my 2 cents on having millions of people speaking abt sats worldwide
so many Fiat conversations today :)

bad
Displaying the $ monetary value of every post is not a good look IMO. Zaps are already turnoff for would be Nostr users who don't subscribe to the capitalist view of monetising every human relationship and spoken word. Speech should be free and it should be seen to be free. Nostr will fail if it alienates socialist leaning people (which is the vast majority of people under 30 in the US). Young tech millionaires, much as I respect them, don't understand they are not representative of society. Nostr needs to be appealing for everyone.
No, don't convert, let's get used to sats. We should propably wire our brain for BTCyears to come.
please don't.
sats is great.
Only sats.
💪💜⚡️
