Nostr OG since 12/16/22 Block 767737 Zap Signature ⚡️:334 Team #Nodestrich Member x2 Software, Blockchain, Bitcoin (not crypto), Foodie and Master of Fun! RMFT! 🐘🌊 Scotch is the nectar of Gods! 🥃 Former owner of the first NFT on Nostr 2008.jpeg for 1.5hrs 1/6 9:13pm-10:55pm. Brave part-time owner of Larry! Organized the first community fundraiser through Zaps raising $4,680 #4theBabies

And the waffle maker. This is why we can’t have nice things!

I was literally just reading about this from #[2]

Sounds like a good problem to have! Haha

#[4] is this something that relays will query after the fact post implementation? Curious if the data that is recorded now will be “viewable” later when wallets start implementing NIP57.

Right? People are more engaging and less argumentative even when disagreeing. That will probably change once the blind sheep come over with their thought lords, but for now, we shall enjoy it amongst friends! 🤛🍻

I don’t have an account. Just using it barebones right now. Don’t want to lose my Sats or history.

#[0] if you move from AppStore to Beta what all do you lose if not signed in with an account?

Yea, the only way I figured to do it, was exponentially reduce it leaving 1% each time. Kind of annoying but at least possible.

Lulz, I’ve probably done more research in Bitcoin than he’s done in anything else combined. Once you understand Bitcoin, you get a few lines into a shitcoin white paper and already realize it’s complete crap. Happens time and time again. I give other coins a listen sometimes, but there hasn’t been a single one that doesn’t have flaws.

Exactly. Or allow that as an option. Payment of fees by the receiver or sender. Or the option of deducting fees from the total amount if the sender is ok with less than the total.

Some people also have “zap signatures” in their profile. For instance: 334.

Where lightning fails is when trying to send an entire balance from one wallet to another. I don’t want to keep dust in 100 different wallets. I should have the option to fund the fees separately or deduct from the amount being sent to sweep a wallet. Also seems different wallets require different amounts.

Thoughts? Tips?

I just noticed my follow feed is moving fast today. Hard to keep up.

Nostr is alive and kicking today! 🔥🔥

And on top, what data could they share that they can’t query publicly? It’s an open protocol and by open, I mean super open.

A blue sky! Time to go enjoy this beautiful day!

Posted up with the Rogue shirt too. Love it! Haha

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

As I posted the other night, this is the “metaverse” every one keeps trying to build. Except we may have done it on accident and in a completely different way. Not centered around monkey jpegs, but pure community.
