Nostr Web Client

Sitting at a coffee shop enjoying a desert coffee - Mexican Mocha - while the guys fix the cold brew machine. I’ve got the leave behind and the other document to share with him. For 1 pm they’re slammed.

I know the manager and he told me Monday to come back today so I’m optimistic.

Update…

The barista is someone I’ve known by name for a couple of years. I get the sense that he has an ownership stake in the small coffee shop because he knew the top line revenue and bottom line profit numbers.

The 400k revenue and 100k profit are a bit low, but he said it was close. Transaction volume and average order - $10 - was spot on.

He took the 2-pager and took the longer 20-min read doc, and took two more for the other barista. 😀

He brought up “but what about gas fees” and I said I’m ignorant as to that part but I’d get back to him. I know essentially nothing about ETH so I didn’t know that was an ETH issue. I’m going to update the “Merchant Conversations” document.

It’s now obvious that the 2-pager needs to be just bullet points, and tbe back contain just three QR codes. And I need to write an article on Nostr for each QR rather than a link to a PDF as you can’t read the PDF on your phone.

I’ll see them again on Tuesday. Wish me luck 😀

Oof a shitcoiner barista 🫠 Gas fees is Ethereum thing. No gas fees in bitcoin, just fees, and they are paid by the customer, not the merchant. If he accepts lightning, fees will be non-existent until he decides to settle on chain eventually. And even then he’ll pay a small fee for settling hundreds or thousands of transactions at once.

I made the point that I’m paying the fees and not them. I think that part is actually hard for them to wrap their heads around in a short interaction.

And the other guy who works there is a shitcoiner - he asked “Will it (Square) take other crypto?” 🤦

I’ll go back this week and let you know how it goes.

Tell the other guy that Square doesn’t support shitcoins and probably never will 😂

This made me laugh 😂

I like both of these guys and I’ve known them for a couple of years. I was surprised they were into crypto. We typically just talk about coffee.

If you like them, the best you can do is cure them from the shitcoinery. 😆

You’re right.

One step closer to onboarding my local coffee shop. I need to go back when it’s less busy. I think if they get on the nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tc7g996k and nostr:nprofile1qqsvwct7ssehccgu040egxe4k8k9ru4wd605r2kfv9sf94gsu8pftcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9u3xghy9 maps they’ll get some business. There is only one coffee shop in my city that currently accepts bitcoin.

Have a great day!
