Building in private, about to launch out of PlebLab just before Bit, Block, Boom in a couple weeks.
Consider this the announcement of the announcement of our LN/Nostr/NFC/PlebTag integration.
COMING SOON:
A reusable self-programmable NFC LN "voucher" programmed onto a permanent and/or throw away Nostr ID and LN bearer tag.
Self sovereign programmable cash loaded and reloaded with LN Addresses and QR codes. Touch less Tap-n-Pay convenience OR physical ly exhangable NFC "Money Orders".
Company branded 3d printed NFC key chains powered by LN sats and protected by Nostr protocols.
Specifically interested in an account for my WY LLC with Strike.
Which I'd expect to be easier than say PR and HI, or I'm guessing NY. Even my personal account stops functioning when I pass thru those jurisdictions.
Perhaps Montana or Delaware are friendlier jurisdictions too...
Will these be available for US business accounts too?
Grief over the loss of Fellowship is harder to bear and move through when what's lost can't be identified. Because most have never experienced true fellowship this is like phantom limb pains, for parts of ourselves we've no memory of ever existing.
I've been recognizing that expansion is the goal, exchange is the Way, but the reason for the path and the destination seems to be cultivation of Fellowship. Aligning with my fellow Satoshi Standard Bearers has given me a taste of fulfillment that comes with finding my Tribe. Competitive sports had glimpses this, but on a shallow level, without true alignment of core values with my team-mates.
Here's the updated link to the #zapstream #zapathon for a cause
Come support those supporting those who support musicians on zap.stream!

Live Now!
A lot of musicians in the Love Music Capital of the World have trouble paying the high electrical bills this time of year. This community supported radio station is trying to help them keep their AC running.
Let's show some Bitcoin and Nostr community support for their good works. #plebchain #zapraiser #tunestr #grownostr
Supporting those who support Live Music in the Austin area, with a #zapraiser on Zap.stream:

This seems like a PERFECT opportunity to highlight the potential of Nostr, LN, and Bitcoin protocols.

In the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, TX, the community supported, solar powered radio station was a victim of credit card fraud causing a large charge back this past Spring. Now rather than having funding to offer local musicians to help keep their electricity turned on, they're having to have a 4-Day Telethon starting tomorrow morning.
Let's initiate 48 hrs of a musical Zapathon starting at 6am CST tomorrow. I've created an integrated Nostr/Alby account for tracking and distributing these LN sats.
Direct support can be sent to sunradio@getalby.com and the associated Nostr account can be found under the same Nostr ID. The LIve Broadcast will be available to all who join us in the www.nostrnests.com channel feed, enabling Zaps to their LN wallets.
They have "Matching Donations" throughout the day. Perhaps I can maximize the value contributed by batching LN sat distributions into prepaid Visa cards purchased through The BTC Company and make larger donations when they'll be doubled by sponsoring companies...
OR, use these donated LN sats to create our own Bitcoiner supported "Matching Donation" challenges. Usually those are at least $1K-$3K in USD amounts...
The question IS, will Bicoiners rise to this occasion, seizing the opportunity to vote with their sats. Using this chance to spend, replace, and increase their stack for a good cause.
To help local musicians needing help keeping their AC turned on this time of year, I'm considering simulcasting their feed into a Nostr Nest. I'd like to see how much LN bitcoin the worldwide Bitcoiner community can raise using these tools to track, trace, and distribute financial support to projects like this one.
The potential to test these tools, Orange Pill a large number of no-coiners, and support the artistic community seems worth attempting to set a precedent for other instances of this tool stack being similarly applied.
What do you all think?
How might this all best be done transparently?
How many of you will answer this call to spend some reputational capital supporting a worthy cause?
Who would like to help promote beta-test this use case with the current tech stack...?

I'm not finding a way to get this to simulcast through a Nest. BUT, I do have a successful live stream functioning right now on a Zap.stream feed.

Sending Zaps = buy yourself even more tacos in 5 years
Sats = Time (of the highest Quality)/Language (words of praise)/Service (no greater sacrifice than to part with sats)/Gifts (of the ONLY truly scarce asset)
Leaving Touch as the single love language this intangible asset cannot deliver directly, although many will be glad to trade touch directly for sats as payment.
Having 4 out of 5 of the Love Languages combined all-in-one, makes satoshis the apex love. language.
There's an actual benefit to purposefully amnesiatic data storage to minimize Op Sec exposure of all historical information. There is a holding cost incurred securing data over time, that's mostly necessary due to the inherent risks of fraud in KYC'd pull request payment systems. Push payments with final settlement place the responsibilities for protecting account balances on the Sender rather than the Receiver.
IF that "push payment" is sent as off chain LN sats then Senders have no ongoing risk of sensitive data enabling account sweeping to be exposed in transit or at rest over time. No payment data honeypot accrues when the Sender's personally identifiable information and account pull request data need not be transmitted, nor be secured physically and digitally.
What your counterparties don't know can't be stolen from them, create liability for them, or be used to prosecute you in a court of law. Same as with cash, instant, final, and private payment under $10k USD amounts do not require knowing your customer's legal NAME. (But, to keep them as recurring customers, getting their Nostr ID tag may be a good idea)
But, I know I'm preaching to the Choir here...
Not everyone understands why KYC has been necessary and the trade offs its failed use has forced on the world. Throughout almost all human history financial privacy was not just normal, it was all anyone ever knew. Experimenting with KYC/AML controls over the last 40 yrs has failed and is no longer needed or useful.
Spending off chain with LN is plenty private for almost all use cases, most data leaked is on the receiving side. It isn't difficult to manage this simply through segregation and compartmentalization, of everything, not just your transactions and coin of choice. More data is exposed through your phones, IP addresses, browsers, etc. than is exposed with off chain transactions. Spending from a phone registered in your name, an IP service paid with by a CC, while in the home address registered ass your legal address makes your privacy with even Monero an illusion.
In the end, ONLY good Op Sec, treating secrecy as secuity in ALL things can lead to Anonymity, which matters more than data privacy. It is Control, not Title that matters, these practices must be carried over into the paper and physical realms too. Smart money use registered LLC, Corporate, and Trustee agents as special purpose vehicles for Titling real assets, the same as smart Bitcoiners do with Blue Wallet, Sparrow, and Cold Card.

Seems likely that many in here have not seen, or signed this yet. I got to physically sign it in Miami in 2022 myself.
Read, memorize, and share this document, my bitcoiner brethren!!!
You are not alone.
The sats don't just flow through you,
Satoshis ARE you.
YOUR blood, sweat, tears, and creativity made intangible and immortal, forged through real work into the form-less, potential energy of satoshis.
May Lightning sats flow to and thru you!
Empowering your independence every day, in every way.
This IS The Way.

I am just finishing building a 12' long wheelbarrow-style chicken tractor using latex cement canvas pulled over 1/2" hardware cloth to enclose their nesting boxes. This is the 3rd coat of latex paint mixed with water and Portland cement applied to this scrap upholstery fabric.
Then I'm installing a black soldier fly larvae harvester along w/water & dry feed dispenser next.
Then I paint it Bitcoin orange...

Home is where the heart is, it's always the people that make any place feel like home. Kindred spirits, cats and gardens...
Those tend to be what capture our hearts transforming a mere gathering place into a safe haven.
It IS an Ark sized lifeboat, i.e. an international vessel for storing Life.
BUT, expansion of Life requires soil to anchor and nourish a strong root system, and most importantly time for nutrients, energy, and resources to grow. Long-term residential Bitcoin family strongholds must come before they coordinate to for city-sized citadels.
Only sovereignty over the supply chain verticals of ALL our daily basic needs makes us truly #SelfSovereign
ONLY this level of sovereignty, properly self-custodied and backed up, provides #SiegeProofSovereignty beyond risk of catastrophic failure or attack.
One of the concepts I found most interesting during my 12 day Permaculture design course came out of the day focused on Patterns.
It was pointed out that within the boundaries of our small few acre residential homesites only a few of the many design patterns that support human life would just "happen" in nature. Only intelligent design that purposefully embeds an integrated set of patterns that supports Life could engineer a consistent surplus over time.
One of my favorite examples of this sort of thinking is the self-harvesting black soldier fly feeders for our chickens and/or aquaponic tilapia garden/stock-ponds. Another is the home bio-gas methane generator that let my off grid (solar, batteries, filters, pumps, gutters, & cachement tanks) enabling a bidet/toilet to fuel the natural gas burner I the kitchen.
None of this is an act of conquering anything it is simply conscious intentional benevolent Stewardship of resources that support Life.
FunnelingvALL surplus into satoshis as the apex reserve asset of the world. With micro-hydro turning rain, wind mills turning wind, PV pannels/inverters, wood-gas on-demand hydrogen, and natural gas methane generators into Kws hrs.
What overflows from our homes', vehicles', and tools' batteries is used to power our mining rigs that stack sats when the with blows, the sun shines, the rivers and streams flow, and when the cane grass grows. Those sats flow through payment prisms into and out of all the residents and assigned trustees' multi-sig Fedimint Trusts' wallets.
THIS IS THE WAY,
